GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                                  17 JULY 2023


                b. locating development in existing cleared areas or areas of low ecological value
                   over other areas to the greatest extent possible; and
                c. incorporating siting and design measures to protect and retain ecological
                   values and ecosystem processes within or adjacent to the development site.

            4. A large number of valid planning grounds have been raised by submitters and
            Council is satisfied the proposal represents an unacceptable level of impact on the
            amenity of the locality. Further, the development exceeds what a community member
            could reasonably expect as a result of the change to the Tourism Accommodation
            Zone when the Noosa Plan 2020 was advertised.

            5. A valid submission from Unitywater identifies potential risks and flow on costs
            associated with the proposed development of additional sensitive receptors within the
            Recreation and Open Space Zone in proximity to the Noosa Sewage Treatment
            Plant.
                                                                         Carried unanimously.
            The meeting adjourned at 2.04pm
            The meeting resumed at 2.13pm
