GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                              18 OCTOBER 2021


               a.    The proposal is located in medium density residential neighbourhood that is
                     predominately used for short term accommodation uses. The introduction of
                     additional short term accommodation within a duplex unit is not consistent
                     with the purpose of the zone.
               b.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation
                     facility within a recently approved dual occupancy and is not located within a
                     well-established resort or holiday units.
         5.    There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
         6.    The proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO12 of the Visitor
               Accommodation Code and Performance Outcome PO6 of the Driveway and
               Parking Code as insufficient car parking is proposed on site to address the likely
               parking demands on site.
    B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
                                                                          Carried unanimously.

    Committee Meeting dated 12 October 2021regarding Application No. RAL20/0014 for a
    Development Permit for Reconfiguring A Lot – 1 lot into 2 lots, situated at 9A Jirrima Cres
    Cooroibah and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.    The proposal is not consistent with the Overall Outcome 13.7.2 c), d) and e),
               Specific Outcomes O2, O5, O7 and O15 of the Noosa Plan 2006 Biodiversity
               Overlay Code as:
               a.    The proposal seeks to undertake development in the riparian buffer.
               b.    A 20m wide easement is required for firefighting purposes within the riparian
                     buffer which requires clearing of vegetation and prevents.
               c.    Fill within the riparian buffer for the driveway and firefighting appliances has
                     the potential to adversely impact on the ecological and hydrological values
                     of the riparian buffer area.
               d.    The proposal is likely to result in the removal of koala habitat for a new lot
                     boundary.
         2.    The proposal is not consistent with 13.30.2 of the Natural Hazards Overlay Code
               for bushfire hazards as the proposed bushfire risk mitigation treatments impacts
               the riparian buffer and requires clear clearing of part of the riparian buffer.

         3.    The proposal is not consistent with 14.181.2 a), c), g), and Specific Outcomes O1,
               O20 and O22 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
               a.    The development does not meet the minimum lot size, and provide for the
                     retention of the site’s natural environmental values and will result in clearing
                     koala habitat and part of the riparian buffer.
         4.    The proposal does not comply with the Noosa Plan 2020 as:
               a.    The applicant proposes development in the riparian buffer.
                                                                                     Page 21 of 29
