MULTIPLE HOUSING TYPE 4 CONVENTIONAL (3 UNITS) AT 217 & 219 GYMPIE TCE,
NOOSAVILLE
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 6 August 2019 regarding Application No. MCU19/0030 for a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for Multiple Housing - Type 4 Conventional
(3 Units) situated at 217 and 219 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville Qld 4566 and:

Environment Committee Agenda dated 6 August 2019.

2 MCU18/0097 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR
EDUCATION TYPE 2 SCHOOL (CAR PARK) AT 115 EUMUNDI NOOSA RD, NOOSAVILLE
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 6 August 2019 regarding Application No. MCU18/0097 for a
Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Education - Type 2 School (Car Park)
situated at 115 Eumundi Noosa Rd, Noosaville and:
A. Approve the application in accordance with the conditions contained in the Planning &
Environment Committee Agenda dated 6 August 2019.
B. Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to approve
the application:
The Industry zoned site adjoins a sensitive land use (school) and is stand-alone
and isolated from surrounding industrial land in the area, being separated by the
major road network. The proposed development is more compatible and
appropriate with the adjoining school in comparison to an industrial development.
The proposed development will formalise the existing use of the land and assist in
addressing the demand for on-site car parking of the existing school development.
Lot 30 SP170751 is the only vacant private freehold site adjoining the existing
school and presents a logical expansion of the school.

– Attachment 3) which seeks to move the primary vehicle access to the site from the
Goodchap Street roundabout to Walter Hay Drive and fails to provide an appropriate
internal link between the existing and proposed car park areas, is considered to result in
a highly undesirable traffic outcome and is unlikely to be supported by Council as a result.

A. Refuse Application No. DBW19/0018 for a Development Permit for Development Permit
for Building Work - Detached House (Coastal Protection), situated at 54 Seaview
Terrace, Sunshine Beach for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is in conflict with the assessment benchmarks of the State Planning
Policy as it proposes development in an Erosion Prone Area and Natural Hazard
Area and presents an unacceptable risk to people and property from coastal
processes, including the projected impacts of climate change.
2. The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the Planning Scheme in that it
proposes development:
a. in the Landslide Hazard Area thereby placing people and property at risk and
does not maintain the natural processes and protection function of land forms
and vegetation contrary to the provisions of the Building Works Code.
b. that is not sited to minimise risk to users, contrary to the Building Works
Code.
c. in the Coastal Protection Area extending seaward of the Coastal Building
Line and is likely to adversely impact upon natural coastal processes contrary
to the requirements of Schedule 1 of Noosa Plan and the Natural Resources
Code.
d. which does not protect the dunal area and natural environmental nor
maintain the safety of people and works contrary to the Overall Outcomes
for the Eastern Beaches Locality.
3. The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the draft Planning Scheme in that it
proposes development:
a. in the Coastal Protection Area extending seaward of the Coastal Building line
and does not allow for natural fluctuations of the coast and foreshore to
occur, including allowance of climate change.
b. which has not been sited to minimise the risk from coastal processes as the
development has not been located as far landward as practicable to ensure
people and property are not at risk from coastal hazards and avoid the need
for additional coastal protection works.
4. Recent modelling carried out by the Council indicates significant erosion is likely to
occur in the future which may threaten life and property should the proposed
development proceed.
5. Given the site is affected by the Coastal Building Line and is located in a highly
vulnerable erosion prone area, the proposed 6m setback is not sufficient to
minimise the risk of erosion.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
