1    MCU19/0117 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR
     VISITOR ACCOMMODATION - TYPE 3 AT 500/90 BEACH ROAD, NOOSA NORTH SHORE
     Cr Lorentson declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the
     Local Government Act 2009) due to her personal relationship with the applicant Mark Bain of Teatree
     Property Pty Ltd and the Bain family, who are family friends that have attended social events together
     and whose children both attended school together and surfed together as part of the Noosa Board
     Riders Club. During the election Cr Lorentson had an election sign at Gympie Tce Petrol Station with
     the approval of the business owner and Mark Bain was the landlord of the property. Mr Bain also
     appeared in one of Cr Lorentson’s videos circulated during the election campaign. Cr Lorentson left the
     meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.

     Moved:             Cr Stockwell
     Seconded:          Cr Jurisevic
     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting dated 9 June 2020 regarding Application No. MCU19/0117 for a
     Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Visitor Accommodation - Type 3 Rural,
     situated at Beach Road Holiday 500/90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore and:
     A.    Refuse the application for the following reasons:
           1.     The proposed development is not for Visitor Accommodation - Type 3 Rural as
                  defined under the Noosa Plan because:
                  a)    a Detached house and Entertainment and Dining Business Type 2
                        Recreation, amusement & fitness are proposed on the site;
                  b)    alternatively a Detached house and an undefined use is proposed;
                  c)    the proposed lagoon/wave pool does not constitute an ‘ancillary use’; and
                  d)    the proposal does not have a direct connection with the environmental or
                        scenic values of site.
           2.     The proposed development is for:
                  a)    a Detached house, being an inconsistent use in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone
                        under the Noosa North Shore Locality Plan and requiring impact
                        assessment; and
                  b)    Entertainment and dining business - Type 2 Recreation, amusement &
                        fitness, being an inconsistent use in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone under the
                        Noosa North Shore Locality Plan and requiring impact assessment or
                  c)    Alternatively an undefined use requiring impact assessment.
           3.     The proposal does not comply with the Strategic Framework and Community
                  Vision or the Desired Environmental Outcomes of The Noosa Plan for visitor
                  facilities and tourism in Noosa, as:
                  a)    the proposed accommodation does not support a range of accommodation
                        styles on the Noosa North Shore, is limited to one dwelling unit and is likely
                        to undermine the planning scheme’s strategy to limit visitor accommodation
                        on the Noosa North Shore to key identified sites contrary to 1.7.8 c) of the

                                                                                            Page 7 of 16
