The final approval granted by way of the Planning and Environment                 Court Order (Appeal No. 344 of 2009) dated 5
July, 2013 reduced the overall yield to 52 Lots and Park. Significantly,             the approval requires dedication       of 52.757
hectares of parkland.


The site is now zoned as Rural under the Noosa Plan 2006. Despite the change to the zoning under the current
planning scheme, the development             layout and design is considered to be consistent with current design State and
Council requirements       for development      on land subject to enviranmental          constraints.


In this respect It is noted that the approved development:


      o    Is predominantly     located in disturbed areas of the site.
      o    Incorporates    setbacks for bushfire management.
      o    Layout and design of allotments       has been generally designed around already cleared vegetation              areas and
           environmental      constraints;
      o    The conditions placed on the development             appropriately   address all relevant environmental       concerns;
      o    Existing development      rights are considered to exist under the original rezoning development              permit;
      o    Results in dedication      of significant   open space which will result in considerable           community       benefits
           through the long-term conservation          of areas with ecological values.
      o    The site adjoins the urban fringe of Noosaville, is the next in sequence and Is surrounded                    by urban and
           rural residential development       to the north and west of the site which is compatible        and similar in nature.


Our assessment against the statutory          decision making criteria in section 388 of the SPA is provided below:


The consistency of the approval, including its conditions, with the current lows and
policies applying to the development, including, for example, the amount and type 0
infrastructure contributions, or charges payable under chapter 8, parts 2 and 3 (s. 388
(a) SPA)

           Response


           The approval    was assessed and approved             under the Superseded Planning Scheme 1985 Schedule and
           1997 Strategic Plan far Naasa. It is considered that the development               approval is generally consistent with
           current laws and policies applying to the development.


           The current approval conditions are consistent with current laws and policies in the following                respects:-


                 o   The engineering     conditions    which have been placed on the existing development                approval       are
                     considered    to be consistent      with     current   engineering     design requirements     and standards.
                     Reference is made to Civil Engineering conditions           18 to 37 and conditions     68 to 78. It is noted
                     that the subsequent operational       works application      will be assessed in accordance with local laws
                     and policies applicable at the time of lodgement.
