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

The final approval granted by way of the Planning and Environment Court Order (Appeal No. 344 of 2009) dated 5
July, 2013 reduced the overall yield to 52 Lots and Park. Significantly, the approval requires dedication of 52.757
hectares of parkland.

The site is now zoned as Rural under the Noosa Plan 2006. Despite the change to the zoning under the current
planning scheme, the development layout and design is considered to be consistent with current State and
Council design requirements for development on land subject to environmental constraints.

In this respect it is noted that the approved development:

         Is predominantly located in disturbed areas of the site.
         Incorporates setbacks for bushfire management.
         Layout and design of allotments has been generally designed around already cleared vegetation areas and
          environmental constraints;
         The conditions placed on the development appropriately address all relevant environmental concerns;
         Existing development rights are considered to exist under the original rezoning development permit;
         Results in dedication of significant open space which will result in considerable community benefits
          through the long-term conservation of areas with ecological values.
         The site adjoins the urban fringe of Noosaville, is the next in sequence and is surrounded by urban and
          rural residential development to the north and west of the site which is compatible and similar in nature.

Our assessment against the statutory decision making criteria in section 388 of the SPA is provided below:

The consistency of the approval, including its conditions, with the current laws and
policies applying to the development, including, for example, the amount and type of
infrastructure contributions, or charges payable under chapter 8, parts 2 and 3 (s. 388
(a) SPA)

          Response

          The approval was assessed and approved under the Superseded Planning Scheme 1985 Schedule and
          1997 Strategic Plan for Noosa. It is considered that the development approval is generally consistent with
          current laws and policies applying to the development.

          The current approval conditions are consistent with current laws and policies in the following respects:-

                   The engineering conditions which have been placed on the existing development approval are
                    considered to be consistent with current engineering design requirements and standards.
                    Reference is made to Civil Engineering conditions 18 to 37 and conditions 68 to 78. It is noted
                    that the subsequent operational works application will be assessed in accordance with local laws
                    and policies applicable at the time of lodgement.
