                 1. Planning Intent and Zoning – Cemetery Expansion
                 Land
                 The land in question was purchased and designated for
                 future cemetery expansion, forming part of long-standing
                 community expectations for its intended use. Reallocating
                 this land for medium-density development undermines the
                 original planning intent. The proposed allocation of
                 approximately one hectare for future cemetery space is
                 inadequate for long-term community needs.
                 Relevant Noosa Plan 2020 Provisions:
                       • Strategic Framework (Part 3): Protection of land
                         intended for community purposes
                       • Community Facilities Zone Code (Part 6.4): Prioritises
                         cemetery and community-serving uses over residential
                         intensification


                 2. Incompatible Density with Surrounding Area
                 The site directly adjoins low-density residential lots
                 transitioning immediately into rural density. The proposed
                 density is significantly oversized for the character of Lake
                 Macdonald Drive and Cooroy in general, and is inconsistent
                 with the Noosa Plan provisions for this locality.
                 Relevant Noosa Plan 2020 Provisions:
                       • Low Density Residential Zone Code (6.3.2): Requires
                         detached, low-intensity development consistent with
                         surrounding character
