PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            12 SEPTEMBER 2017


C.   Add the following conditions:
     63.   The first application seeking Operational Works approval for this development must
           include a concept design that demonstrates all stormwater runoff from hardstand and
           fertilised landscaped areas of the completed development, including runoff destined
           for groundwater infiltration, can be treated to achieve pollution reduction targets to
           achieve an 80% reduction in Total Suspended Solids, 60% reduction in Total
           Phosphorous and 45% reduction in Total Nitrogen compared to an untreated
           scenario.
     64.   Where proprietary devices are proposed to be used within the development, the first
           application seeking Operational Works for this development must demonstrate that
           the performance input/output parameters used within water quality modelling for the
           nominated proprietary device are consistent with the final approved version of the
           Stormwater Australia Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices Evaluation Protocol.
     65.   The rear 2 metres of Blocks 10, 11 and 12 is to be extensively landscaped and no
           structures or swimming pools are to be located in these areas. No access is to be
           provided from the rear of these Blocks to Resort Drive.


REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The applicant has requested a Negotiated Decision Notice for the Development Permit for a
Material Change of Use for Multiple housing Type 4 - Conventional (44 units) situated at Resort
Drive, Noosa Heads and situated at Resort Dr, Noosa Springs; and approved on 15 September
2016.
In accordance with S366 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 on 19 October 2016 the applicant
suspended the appeal period and requested a Negotiated Decision Notice be issued addressing
a number of conditions contained within the Decision Notice.
The most recent supporting documentation provided by the applicant on 28 June 2017 advises:
The plans submitted with our original representations have been the subject of a review to
investigate opportunities to amend the layout. Throughout the course of this exercise, various
iterations of the plans have been submitted to Council for feedback, with the most recently
submitted provided by email dated 16 December 2016.
Subsequent feedback was received from Council in relation to the internal design of a number of
the dwelling units, specifically in relation to the configuration of media rooms. Our understanding
of the feedback from Council is that there were several circumstances where media rooms in
particular 2 bedroom units appeared to have the opportunity to be utilised as a third bedroom,
which would, as a consequence, increase the development density of the development beyond
that which is required by Council (and specifically Condition 4 of the original decision notice).
In response to this feedback, the plans have now been reviewed to remove this anomaly, with
the development adhering to the nominated maximum density and gross floor area required by
Condition 4 of the original decision notice. It is advised that the reduction in density and gross
floor area has, by consequence, resulted in a decrease in overall site cover and an increase in
landscape area.
