PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    08 AUGUST 2017


    Assessable vegetation associated with natural wetlands and watercourses are protected to
      maintain water quality and habitat.
    The current extent of the regional ecosystems and endangered regional ecosystems are
      maintained.
    Areas of remnant vegetation are retained to maintain ecosystem functioning, remain in the
      landscape despite threatening processes and maintain connectivity to adjacent properties.
    The current extent of essential habitat is maintained.
    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The initial application was referred to the EPA as the site is situated partly within a Coastal
Management District. On 2 May 2008 the Agency provided conditions for approval.
The application was also referred to the Environmental Protection Agency as the site was identified
as being contaminated. On 2 April 2008 the Agency advised the site has been deleted from the
Environmental Management Register.
Advice
Department of Natural Resources & Water (DNR&W)
The initial application was referred to the Department of Natural Resources & Water as an advice
agency due to the potential for acid sulphate soils on the site. DNR&W provided their advice on
27 June 2008 recommending that an acid sulphate soils management plan be undertaken.
Energex
The initial application was referred to Energex for Advice as an Energex transmission line traverses
the site. No response was received from Energex, but it is noted that the line traverses through a
proposed park area, well clear of the proposed BLE’s on lots.
Current Application
Under the Planning Act 2016 this extension application is not required to be referred to the referral
agencies for comment.
6.    CONCLUSION
The application for an Extension to the Currency Period for 152006.1999.02 relating to
development permit for reconfiguration of a lot (52 lots & park) for 191 Hollett Road Noosaville is
recommended for refusal. The development is not consistent with the South East Queensland
Regional Plan or the Noosa Plan (2016) and there is insufficient justification for the proposed
development. Council’s response to the draft South East Queensland Regional Pan, ShapingSEQ,
has identified that there is no need for additional subdivision outside the Urban Footprint as Council
is able to meet the projected population targets within the Urban Footprint. Accordingly, the
development is not in the community’s interest. Furthermore, it is considered that the community
have insufficient awareness of the proposal.
