REPORT
On 21 October 2021, Council at its Ordinary meeting resolved to approve an application to
demolish 2 x 3 storey, 2 bedroom dwelling units and construct 1 larger 4 storey, 3 bedroom dwelling
at 30 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. The existing development was originally approved by Council
in October 1983 and comprised 25 Bungalow style 2 bedroom units and 8 shops, with a restaurant
subsequently approved on site in December 2000.
The application was subject to impact assessment and was required to be publicly notified for
submissions. 16 submissions were received to the application from other unit owners in the
complex seeking the Gabriel Poole design to be respected, but also raising privacy, amenity,
access to sunlight, potential noise impacts from outdoor living areas and design issues.
The application was recommended for approval as the proposal offered a well-designed building
which would not create any additional privacy issues or create additional shading of surrounding
properties and met the Noosa Plan 2020 design requirements.
As a result of Council’s decision to approve the application, 6 submitters elected to jointly appeal
the decision to the Planning & Environment Court seeking that the application be refused.
