ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                            17 APRIL 2025


                 to progress housing on this site was instigated. This site was identified to be
                 investigated for housing in the widely publicised Noosa Housing Strategy 2022. At
                 its ordinary meeting of 16 May 2024 Council approved the disposal of Lot 1 under
                 section 236 of the Local Government Regulation 2012. Proposed Lot 1 is being
                 sold at market value. This decision does not prevent Council from dealing with
                 other community housing organisations for other much-needed housing solutions
                 that may arise in Noosa LGA.

                 QUESTION 2
                 Once the land, Lot 1 at 62 Lake Macdonald Drive Cooroy, is sold to Coast2Bay, it
                 is unbelievable that the land can remain zoned Community Facilities as it no longer
                 belongs to the community so what exactly is the Material Change of Use
                 application that Coast2Bay has to submit as part of the initial DA?

                 Response provided by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy & Environment
                 Community Facilities Zone is defined under the State Queensland Planning
                 Regulation 2017, the purpose of the community facilities zone is to provide
                 fordash;
                 (a) community-related uses, activities and facilities, whether publicly or privately
                 owned, including, for exampledash;
                    (i) educational establishments; and
                    (ii) hospitals; and
                    (iii) transport and telecommunication networks; and
                    (iv) utility installations; and
                 (b) residential uses, if all of the dwellings for the residential use, other than
                 caretaker’s accommodation, aredash;
                    (i) an affordable housing component; and
                    (ii) either on landdash;
                         (A) associated with a community activity comprised of a community care
                         centre, a place of worship or a residential care facility; or
                         (B) owned, controlled or managed by an entity that carries out a community
                         activity comprised of a community care centre, a place of worship or a
                         residential care facility.

                 For example Residential aged care such as Kabara is included in the Community
                 Facilities Zone. Palm Lakes Retirement Resort is included in the Community
                 Facilities Zone. These properties are privately owned and accommodate people’s
                 homes. The community facilities zone relates to what land use can occur on the
                 land rather than who owns the land or who it belongs too. It can apply to both
                 public and private land.

                 An impact assessable MCU application for housing is required for the C2B
                 proposal which means the development application is publicly notified and is
                 required to be assessed against the Noosa Plan.
