RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                           17 JUNE 2019


    C.   Find the following sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with the
         Planning Scheme:
         1.     The use of the land for retail businesses is consistent with the pattern of
                surrounding zoning and development.
         2.     The proposed development is compatible with other uses within proximity of the
                site and will not have any significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by
                users of other premises.
    D.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

    Committee Recommendation
    Moved:           Cr Jurisevic
    Seconded:        Cr Glasgow
    That Council note the report by the Contract Planner to the Planning & Environment
    Committee Meeting dated 11 June 2019 regarding Application No. MCU18/0015 for a
    Development Permit for Material Change of Use (2 Detached Houses and Multiple Housing
    – type 4 Conventional – 12 Units) and Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 4 lots plus Access
    Easement) situated at 27 Attunga Heights, Noosa Heads and defer the application to a future
    Council meeting given the applicant has stopped the current period as provided for under the
    Planning Act 2016.:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.   The proposed development is contrary to the Noosa Plan’s Strategic Framework
              and the Desired Environmental Outcomes as
              (i)   The proposal does not satisfactorily protect the site’s significant
                    environment values.
              (ii) The proposal does not maintain a satisfactory wildlife corridor through the
                    site and intrudes into the riparian buffer to the site’s watercourse.
         2.   The proposed development is contrary to the Overall and Specific Outcomes of
              the Noosa Heads Locality Code as
              (i)   The proposed uses are inconsistent with and therefore strongly
                    inappropriate in the Open Space Conservation Zone.
              (ii) The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the proposed
                    development footprint is commensurate with the site’s constraints and
                    values.
              (iii) The proposal will adversely impact on the site’s and the adjoining road
                    reserve’s scenic and environmental values.
              (iv) The proposed built form will adversely impact on the visual amenity of
                    nearby properties in Attunga Heights.
