2017-05-04_Request for Extension to Relevant Period_REV A · 152006.1999

          Any submission made in response to the development application, if remade, would unlikely raise any
          new issue, as all matters previously were addressed as part of the original development application or
          specifically within the conditions placed on the approval.

          It is unknown whether new submissions would be lodged, given that the original development application
          was Code Assessable. However, the proposed dedication of over 52 hectares of park and associated
          pedestrian paths, together with requirements for vegetation protection and rehabilitation result in a net
          community benefit which will likely reduce the likelihood of submitters exercising their rights.

          The Noosa Plan 2006 states the minimum lot size in the Rural Zone is 100 hectares. The approved
          development achieves rural residential lots ranging from 4000m² to 9000m².

          Despite this non-compliance, approval of the proposal could be granted on the basis that significant
          public interest grounds for approval exist despite any potential conflict, in accordance with section
          326(1)(b) of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. These grounds include:

                   Significant community benefit by way of parkland dedication and construction of pedestrian
                    pathway network;
                   Protection of vegetation areas in perpetuity through parkland dedication and vegetation
                    covenants;
                   Community need for additional range of housing choices and options. It is considered that there is
                    a need and market for rural residential development within the Noosaville locality having regard
                    to limited areas available for development due to environmental constraints and SEQ regulatory
                    restrictions.

The views of any concurrence agency for the approval given under section 385 (s. 388
(d) SPA)
