ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                             20 JUNE 2019


              (ii)    The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the proposed development
                      footprint is commensurate with the site’s constraints and values.
              (iii)   The proposal will adversely impact on the site’s and the adjoining road
                      reserve’s scenic and environmental values.
              (iv)    The proposed built form will adversely impact on the visual amenity of nearby
                      properties in Attunga Heights.
              (v)     The proposed development does not respect the scale and character of the
                      surrounding development.
        3.    The proposed development is contrary to the Specific Outcomes of the Noosa
              Heads Locality Code for population density, gross floor area, site cover, building
              height and setbacks.
        4.    The proposed development is contrary to the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the
              proposal does not satisfactorily manage, minimise or mitigate its impact’s on the
              site’s ecologically important areas, ecological linkages for the koala population and
              the site’s watercourse with the development resulting in excessive clearing of
              protected vegetation.
        5.    The proposed subdivision is contrary to the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
              (i)     The proposed lots and lot boundaries fragment the site’s wildlife corridor and
                      the riparian buffer to the site’s watercourse.
              (ii)    The proposal is to subdivide land in the Open Space Conservation zone.
              (iii)   The applicant has not demonstrated appropriate access for Lot 3 for
                      construction purposes is available or achievable.
              (iv)    The proposed parkland lot, Lot 4, includes part of the bushfire protection
                      zone for the multiple dwelling units and steep slopes, which will require
                      ongoing monitoring and future management, inappropriately burdening
                      Council’s resources.
        6.    The proposed development has not been designed to avoid any potential instability
              and associated problems and seeks to clear excessive vegetation that assists in
              stabilising the site and the development in the long term contrary to the Natural
              Hazards Overlay Code and Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
        7.    The proposed development will adversely impact on the vegetated character of the
              adjoining pedestrian path in Edgar Bennett Avenue road reserve enjoyed by
              residents and visitors to the area due to the scale and extent of development
              proposed along this boundary and limited landscape opportunities to screen the
              development. The proposed works for the driveway and associated retaining walls
              are also likely to adversely impact on the vegetation within the road reserve and
              result in the removal of some existing mature vegetation.
        8.    The proposed stormwater management strategies for water quality for the multiple
              housing development on lot 1 conflict with the Water Sensitive Design Code, which
              requires natural treatment strategies and systems and are contrary to the
              Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
        9.    The proposed proprietary device has not been accepted by Stormwater Australia
              as a satisfactory water quality treatment system for this area. Therefore, the
              proposed development may adversely impact on the downstream ecosystem due
              to changes in water quality.
        10.   The proposed development is contrary to the draft Noosa Plan provisions, which
              reinforce the current Noosa Plan’s requirements to protect the site’s environmental
              values and appropriately respond to the site’s natural hazards.
