                     environmental       conditions     are considered         generally consistent   with current     laws and policies in
                     regard to site constraints        including vegetation       and bushfire hazard.


                 •   We note that this approval was issued under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, with an Adopted
                     Infrastructure     Charges Notice issued by the then (pre-de-amalgamation)                     Sunshine Coast Council.
                     Infrastructure     contributions      applicable to this development          approval can be updated to reflect
                     Noosa Council's current adopted infrastructure                charges resolution,    as required.


           The site is located within the Tewantin and Doonan locality                     Plan under the Nooso Plan 2006 where it is
           zoned Rural. Reconfiguration         within the zone is Code Assessable as per Table 12.11 of Division 13, Noosa
           Plan, subject to the requirements           of the SEQRPRegulatory Provisions.


           From an assessment of the applicable provisions under the Noosa Plan 2006, the development                                     approval
           achieves the majority of the relevant performance                   outcomes. Inevitably, there are a few provisions which
           cannot    be directly      achieved due to Council changing the zone from "Special Residential"                              under the
           Superseded      Planning Scheme to "Rural"                  under the current   Noosa Plan 2006. However,                this does not
           preclude an extension on the current development                     approval being granted, having regard to the existing
           conditions    of approval appropriately         reflecting the individual site constraints       along with the development
           providing significant community            benefits.

  The desired environmental outcomes for Noosa Shire are as

            does not alienate agricultural land or have a
            detrimental impact upon the environment;
