ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                                  20 APRIL 2017


3   MCU16/0075 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE OF
    PREMISES - DETACHED HOUSE (19) AT 90 BEACH ROAD, NOOSA NORTH SHORE
    Cr Wellington declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the
    Local Government Act 2009) due to his business dealings with Petrac in 2008 and Solingen in 2011
    (both prior to his election to Council) to provide display material to the North Shore Eco Centre (also
    known as Great Sandy Eco Centre). Cr Wellington believed he could consider this item impartially and
    in the public interest and therefore remained in the meeting room for the debate and decision on this
    matter.

    Moved:               Cr Jackson
    Seconded:            Cr Glasgow
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning &
    Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 April 2017 and, at the request of the applicant,
    defer consideration of Application No. MCU16/0075 for a Development Permit for 19
    Detached houses, situated at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore to the next round of
    meetings to allow Council to consider further information provided by the applicant.
                                                                                         Lost.
    Cr Wellington voted against the motion.



    Council Resolution
    Moved:               Cr Stockwell
    Seconded:            Cr Jurisevic
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning &
    Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 April 2017 and refuse Application No.
    MCU16/0075 for a Development Permit for 19 Detached houses, situated at 90 Beach Road,
    Noosa North Shore for the following reasons:
    1.     The proposed use, defined as a Detached House under The Noosa Plan is inconsistent
           with the long term strategic planning and is an inconsistent use in a Visitor Mixed Use
           zone and is contrary to the Overall Outcomes of the Noosa North Shore Locality Code
           and the strategic intent of The Noosa Plan, which seeks to protect substantial key sites
           for visitor accommodation, with the subject site identified as one of the key sites;
    2.     The non-protection of substantial key sites for visitor accommodation will adversely
           impact upon a viable tourism economy for Noosa;
    3.     The proposal has the potential to increase pressure to provide additional infrastructure
           and services on the Noosa North Shore, contrary to The Noosa Plan and Local
           Government Infrastructure Plan; and
    4.     The applicant does not provide sufficient grounds to justify the conflict with the Planning
           Scheme and the proposal will not result in any significant benefits to the community.
                                                                                                  Carried.
    Cr Wellington voted for the motion.
    Cr Jackson voted against the motion.
