PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       12 APRIL 2022


for the development of multiple dwellings to occur on site, comply with the Livable Housing gold
standard and also meet the planning scheme built form requirements. In this instance, it is not
suitable to condition the development to comply with the scheme requirements or issue a
Preliminary Approval as the number and extent of non-complying aspects make it unclear as to
how this will be achieved. Accordingly, it is recommended the application be refused.
The application is before Council as two of the applicants are Noosa Shire staff members.
