               EXTENSION TO CURRENCY PERIOD – DELEGATED REPORT
               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for a Reconfiguring a Lot (1 Lot into 3 Lots) was issued on 26 August
               2021.




                                          Figure 1 – Proposed Subdivision Plan
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               The applicant has requested an extension to the currency period to the development approval
               under section 86 of the Planning Act 2016.
               The applicant seeks a four-year extension to the currency period of the development approval
               issued on 26 August 2021. The site is located within the Medium Density Residential Zone under
               the Noosa Plan 2020, and the approved subdivision remains generally consistent with the
               intended residential outcomes for the locality.
               The approval continues to align with the zone intent and there have been no significant changes
               to the planning scheme or site constraints that would render the development inappropriate.
               However, the request would result in a total currency period of nine years, which is considered
               excessive for a small-scale subdivision of this nature.
                                                                                                  Page 2 of 3

               EXTENSION TO CURRENCY PERIOD – DELEGATED REPORT
               A prolonged currency period increases the risk that the approval may become inconsistent with
               evolving planning controls, infrastructure planning, and contemporary design or engineering
               standards. It may also delay the timely delivery of housing supply in an appropriately zoned and
               serviced urban area.
               While an extension is reasonable given the approval remains fundamentally sound, a more
               moderate extension is considered appropriate to balance flexibility for the applicant with the need
               to maintain alignment with current and future planning outcomes.
               4.     CONCLUSION
               It is recommended that the request to extend the currency period be approved in part, with a two
               (2) year extension to 28 August 2028.
               This timeframe provides sufficient opportunity for the applicant to act on the approval while
               ensuring the development remains reasonably aligned with contemporary planning and
               infrastructure expectations.
               RECOMMENDATION
               That Council note the report regarding Application No. RAL21/0012.01, for a Development Permit
               for Reconfiguring a Lot - Extension to Currency Period situated at 100 Hilton Terrace, Noosaville
               Qld 4566 described as Lot 1 on SP315600 , and approve the extension to the currency period
               and amend condition 4 to read as follows:
               Currency Period
               4.     This development approval lapses if the requirements of the conditions have not been
                      completed and an application for plan seal is not lodged with Council by 28 August 2028,
                      unless an application to extend the currency period is approved by Council.
