9         Conclusion
The above development application has been submitted to the Noosa Council as the Assessment
Manager of the application under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. This application seeks a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use of Premises for an extension to an existing
campground which is impact assessable development under the Noosa Plan 2006. The application
addresses historical encroachments to the south of the site and seeks approval for use of this area.

Separate to this application, a submission has been lodged with the State to excise the subject area from
National Park and include it in the Council owned land (lot 32) to the north.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as provided in detail in the above report.
These grounds include:
               The proposal is consistent with the Noosa Council and State Government land tenure
               arrangements for the area;
               The proposed extension is located in a degraded area and provides a sustainable
               recreational use consistent with the desired outcomes for the area.
               The proposal maintains the approved number of campsites for the site and addresses
               historical encroachments in the area;
               The existing and proposed extension to the campground will provide a unique wilderness
               experience that does not impact on the amenity of the area;
               The existing environmental values of the site will be retained;
               No vegetation is proposed to be removed as part of the extension; and
               The proposed extension is consistent with provisions of the Noosa Plan.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended.
