GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                      13 NOVEMBER 2023


                  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. That the CEO be requested to review the zone and urban boundaries as part
            of a future review of the Planning Scheme; and

            C. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
            Act 2016.
            Carried unanimously.

            Cr Wilkie returned to the meeting.
