            EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
            The application seeks to develop a 106 room hotel on land within Noosa Springs, the hotel is to
            operate as an integrated development utilising the existing facilities at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa
            Resort.

            The site is split zoned, with both the Tourist Accommodation Zone and the Recreation and Open
            Space Zone applying to the site. The application of split zoning to the site was in response to the
            need for an odour buffer between future development and the nearby sewage treatment plant
            (STP). Supporting documentation has assessed the odour impacts of the STP to determine the
            appropriate building footprint and associated outdoor recreation areas. This material has been
            reviewed and supported by Council’s consulting odour expert with conditions recommended to
            address use of outdoor areas and ventilation of the building at its interface with the accepted odour
            limit. The built form has been sited within the determined footprint with some outdoor dining and
            recreational facilities proposed to be located outside of this area.

            The proposed built form is consistent with the prevailing built form within Noosa Springs and
            compliments the golf clubhouse and spa facilities which are located nearby. The building exceeds
            the height limit in limited areas due to the topography of the site and the large footprint which is
            anticipated in buildings providing resort accommodation.

            The built form extends over both zones with the extent of site cover not exceeding the combined
            amount permitted within the Tourist Accommodation Zone and Recreation and Open Space Zone.
            The extent of plot ratio over the whole site does not exceed the amount permitted under the Tourist
            Accommodation Zone.

            The application has also demonstrated compliance with the carparking, bushfire, and water
            quality/quantity requirements of the Noosa Plan whilst variations to setbacks are supported.

            The application is recommended for approval subject to conditions.
            RECOMMENDATION
            That Council note the report by the Acting Development Assessment Manager to the Planning &
            Environment Committee Meeting dated 9 My 2023 regarding MCU21/0110 development permit for
            material change of use for resort complex (106 rooms), food and drink outlet, bar and outdoor sport
            and recreation at Links Drive, Noosa Heads and:
