2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The land abuts a mix of residential, rural, open space conservation and community services land
uses. A number of parcels of Bushland Reserve associated with the Noosa Business Centre and
the residential estate accessed via Lake Entrance Boulevard are adjacent the northern boundary.
A number of detached housing lots along Lake Entrance Boulevard also abut the northern
boundaries of the site, though there is no direct road link from that estate to the subject site.
Directly to the west of the site are rural residential lots accessed via Hollett Road and the Noosa
Par 3 Golf Course. A large (321.9ha) Council-owned allotment sits to the south-east of the site.
The Noosa refuse station is located in its south-eastern corner but majority of the lot is
undeveloped and a portion is dedicated as nature refuge (known as Weyba Nature Refuge).
Densely vegetated rural zoned land holdings are located to the east of the site. Weyba Downs
residential estate is to the south-west of the site and comprises a mix rural-residential and rural
lots.
3.    ASSESSMENT
In accordance with Section 388 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, in deciding a request to
extend the relevant period, the assessment manager must only have regard to:
(a)   the consistency of the approval, including its conditions, with current laws and policies
      applying to the development, including, for example, the amount and type of infrastructure
      contributions, or infrastructure charges payable under an infrastructure charges schedule;
(b)   the community’s current awareness of the development approval; and
(c)   whether, if the request were refused:
      (i)    further rights to make a submission may be available for a further development
             application; and
      (ii)   the likely extent to which those rights may be exercised; and
(d)   the views of any concurrence agency for the approval
