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

                   The development is required to be undertaken in accordance with the Court’s approval
                    conditions including those of the referral agencies Department of Natural Resources and Mines
                    (DNRM), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The approved development setbacks and
                    environmental conditions are considered generally consistent with current laws and policies in
                    regard to site constraints including vegetation and bushfire hazard.

                   We note that this approval was issued under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, with an Adopted
                    Infrastructure Charges Notice issued by the then (pre-de-amalgamation) Sunshine Coast Council.
                    Infrastructure contributions applicable to this development approval can be updated to reflect
                    Noosa Council’s current adopted infrastructure charges resolution, as required.

          The site is located within the Tewantin and Doonan Locality Plan under the Noosa Plan 2006 where it is
          zoned Rural. Reconfiguration within the zone is Code Assessable as per Table 12.11 of Division 13, Noosa
          Plan, subject to the requirements of the SEQRP Regulatory Provisions.

          From an assessment of the applicable provisions under the Noosa Plan 2006, the development approval
          achieves the majority of the relevant performance outcomes. Inevitably, there are a few provisions which
          cannot be directly achieved due to Council changing the zone from “Special Residential” under the
          Superseded Planning Scheme to “Rural” under the current Noosa Plan 2006. However, this does not
          preclude an extension on the current development approval being granted, having regard to the existing
          conditions of approval appropriately reflecting the individual site constraints along with the development
          providing significant community benefits.

          Our assessment is provided below.

  The desired environmental outcomes for Noosa Shire are as
  follows—
  a) AGRICULTURE USES
  Agricultural industry is maintained by—                         (a) (i) – (ix) The site has very limited opportunity for viable

       iv) facilitating the growth of non-traditional animal
             husbandry practices such as aquaculture where it
             does not alienate agricultural land or have a
             detrimental impact upon the environment;
       v) protecting agricultural pursuits from incompatible
             uses, particularly those more suitably located
             within the urban growth boundary;
       vi) facilitating the growth of farm forestry practices;
       vii) value adding to farm produce to enhance economic
             viability;
       viii) improving opportunities for mutually beneficial
             enterprises that are complementary to agriculture
