MCU14/0068 Town Planning Report (attachment 4 of 10)

established use, responding to and integrating with the site characteristics as well as
contributing to the rural character and amenity of the area.

Given the nature of the proposed development, as an extension to the existing 27
hole Noosa Par 3 Golf Course and not comprising any buildings or structures, the
majority of the Tewantin and Doonan Locality Code is not applicable. Nonetheless,
the proposal will comply with all relevant provisions in that:

       The proposed development is not considered to significantly increase the
        patronage of the existing use, as such, will not impact on the levels of
        amenity currently enjoyed by adjoining and nearby uses, nor the major road
        network;
       The proposal is considered to be a logical extension of the existing use,
        compatible with the character of the surrounding locality and considered to
        have a low site impact in terms of native vegetation and natural landforms;
       The proposed development, in terms of drainage, will essentially utilise the
        subject site in the same manner as its current form, thus no additional
        loading will occur;
       Tall trees, native vegetation and character trees located on the subject site
        will be retained;
       Ultimately, the proposal will relate to minor, domestic scale cut and fill as well
        as landscaping (associated with the creation of greens, bunkers and tee off
        areas). As a result, it is not considered that there will be any significant
        adverse effects on the biodiversity, native vegetation, native fauna habitat,
        landscape quality, water quality or cultural heritage values of the subject site
        and surrounding locality;
       The proposal will not impact the identified open space corridors and existing
        native vegetation as per Council mapping; and
       The proposed development will be located on land not currently provided
        with pedestrian and bicycle pathways and is not considered warranted to
        provide such facilities as part of this proposal.

The proposal is thus considered to comply with the applicable provisions of the
Tewantin and Doonan Locality Code.

6.3.2   Community Uses Code
The proposed development will comply with the overall outcomes for the use in that
the proposal will provide for upgraded community facilities to service existing and
future populations, provide a convenient, comfortable and safe use without placing
unacceptable burdens on local amenity or infrastructure and is considered to
protect the existing built character and natural environmental values of the
surrounding locality. Lastly, the proposal will be energy and water efficient, utilising
the existing on-site dams for irrigation.
