ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                     20 FEBRUARY 2020


         1.   The proposal is contrary to schedule 11, part 2, section 7 of the Planning
              Regulation 2017 as the development is situated in a koala assessable
              development area and does not avoid clearing non-juvenile koala habitat trees in
              circumstances in which any significant residual impact of the clearing is unable to
              be offset.
         2.   The proposal is contrary to the State Planning Policy as the proposed development
              will adversely impact on koala habitat, with koala populations recognised as being
              matters of both national and state environmental significance.
         3.   The proposal is contrary to the State Planning Policy as the proposed development
              does not facilitate an appropriate disaster management response and recovery
              capacity and capabilities as the emergency access points are unable to be
              implemented.
         4.   The proposed development is contrary to the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
              Noosaville Locality Code as:
              i.     The proposal does not provide a satisfactory pedestrian and cycle network
                     for the future development of the area and fails to provide satisfactory
                     linkages with the existing development in the Shire Business Centre as these
                     are unable to be implemented.
              ii.    The proposal fails to ensure a high level of residential amenity as it does not
                     provide for acoustic fencing to lots 17, 18 and 19 or provide any noise
                     mitigation measures to existing plant equipment and loading dock areas. The
                     proposal also fails to address the future amenity of Lot 21.
              iii.   The proposal fails to provide for suitable retention of existing vegetation to
                     allow for future development to be within a park like setting.
              iv.    The proposal will adversely impact on the site’s environmental values.
         5.   The proposed development is contrary to the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the
              proposal will adversely impact on koala habitat, does not maximise the retention of
              existing vegetation, and proposes to prematurely clear significant vegetation
              inconsistent with the needs of the community.
         6.   The proposed subdivision is contrary to the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
              i.     Insufficient provision has been made for walking and cycling linkages with
                     the existing development in the Shire Business Centre as the proposed
                     network and linkages are unable to be implemented.
              ii.    The proposed lot will have a significant adverse impact on the natural
                     environment and will not retain the sites natural environmental values.
         7.   The proposed development is contrary to the Natural Hazards Overlay Code as
              bushfire mitigation measures do not satisfactorily address the risk of bushfire as
              they are not envisaged by the Shire Business Centre Map and are unable to be
              implemented.
         8.   The proposed development is contrary to the draft Noosa Plan provisions, which
              reinforce the current Noosa Plan’s requirements for pedestrian/cycle links, an
              appropriate response to the site’s natural hazards and protection of the site’s
              environmental values including vegetation retention.
    B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

    The motion was withdrawn.
