ORDINARY MEETING                                                             16 OCTOBER 2025


            c. The development does not provide the required number of functional car spaces
               including service vehicles as the proposed bus park is not sized to accommodate
               a small rigid vehicle.
            d. No provision has been made for motorcycles and bicycles.
        3. The proposed does not comply with Performance Outcome 7 and Acceptable Outcome
           AO7.1 of the Driveways and Parking Code as:
            a. The development fails to provide adequate loading and manoeuvring areas on site
               to accommodate the anticipated service vehicles.
        4. The proposal is not consistent with Overall Outcome 9.4.10.2 (2) (d) and Performance
           and Acceptable Outcomes PO3, AO3.2(b), AO3.2(d), AO3.2(e) and AO3.2(f) of the
           Waste Management Code as:
            a. The development has not adequately demonstrated that waste can be serviced on
               site.
            b. The proposed waste storage area has not been designed to allow for unobstructed
               access for collection by service vehicles (i.e., on-site servicing).
            c. Kerbside servicing is unable to occur while remaining clear from all existing on-
                street carparks, pedestrian footpaths and without impeding traffic flow on Russell
                Street.
        5. The proposal is not consistent with Performance Outcome PO9 and the
           corresponding Acceptable outcomes AO9.1 & AO9.2 of the Visitor accommodation
           Code as:
            a. The proposed area of landscaping is significantly less than the area required by
               the planning scheme;
            b. The proposed landscaping widths to side and rear boundaries are significantly less
               than that required by the planning scheme;
            c. The undersupply of onsite landscaping area and widths to boundaries results in a
               development which restricts the ability to incorporate landscaping between the site
               and neighbouring premises / buildings and to assist with softening the built form.
There are no relevant reasons to approve the proposed development to vary from development
intensity specified by the Noosa Plan 2020 for this area.
        B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
        C. Note the report incorrectly identifies the required number of bicycle spaces and
           motorcycle spaces which should each be identified as 7.
