STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS:

In accordance with Section 87 of the Planning Act 2016, in assessing an extension application, the
assessment manager may:

     87(1) When assessing an extension application, the assessment manager may consider any matter that
          the assessment manager considers relevant, even if the matter was not relevant to assessing the
          development application.

ASSESSMENT:

The current development approval was assessed and granted under the superseded planning scheme
prior to the current Noosa Plan. The proposal was reviewed against the 2006 Noosa Plan provisions
under the 2011 and 2014 application for extension of the relevant period, wherein it was determined
that the development form generally was consistent with the current requirements of the Noosa Plan
and the areas of non compliance were minor. The current approval is therefore consistent with the
current laws and policies.

The proposal has also been reviewed against the Draft New Noosa Plan which includes the site in the
high Density Residential and Environmental Management and Conservation Zone. The proposal is
generally consistent with the development parameters detailed in this draft Plan.

With regard to infrastructure charges, it is noted that as part of previous changes to the approvals and
extensions, infrastructure charges for missing networks have been charged.

The current proposal is generally consistent with the current planning scheme requirements and
policies and the current conditions protect the environmental considerations of the site. The general
community is also well aware that the site has a development approval for the site. The proposed
extension is considered to meet the criteria of the Act and the applicant therefore requests an
extension of the currency period for a further four years.


This development application has been prepared in accordance with the Planning Act 2016 and is
being submitted with the following attached:
        1.        The completed Council form.
        2.        Council’s application fee of will be paid electronically.
