                 4. When read as a whole, the South East Queensland Regional Plan
                 2017 (SEQRP) does not lend support to the proposed use of the land, as:
                       4.1. the SEQRP sets a long term, 50-year vision, establishing
                       aspirations for the region up to 2067. Given this, the timing and
                       sequencing of urban development occurring within the Urban
                       Footprint is a finer grained detail, the planning for which is
                       implemented through local government planning schemes;
                       4.2. the designation of land as being within the Urban Footprint
                       does not imply that all that land with that designation can be
                       developed for urban purposes; and
                       4.3. when assessed against Noosa Plan 2020, the proposed
                       development is not suitable for urban development.

                 5.   The following relevant matters support refusal:
                       5.1. The proposed development will involve an unacceptable loss
                       of vegetation in a locality which is an ecologically important and
                       environmentally sensitive and serves as an important ecological
                       linkage,
                       5.2. There is no planning, economic or community need for the
                       proposed development on the subject land.
                       5.3. Approval of the proposed development would not be in the
                       public interest as reflected in the provisions of Noosa Plan 2020
                       referred to in these reasons for refusal.
            B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
            Act 2016.
