ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                            7 MAY 2015


3   DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR A MIXED USE
    DEVELOPMENT (SERVICE STATION, SHOP, FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, CAR
    WASH, SELF STORAGE FACILITY AND TOURIST PARK) AT 125 MYALL STREET
    COOROY MCU14/0056
    That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Organisation
    Committee Meeting dated 28 April 2015 and defer consideration of Application No. MCU
    14/0056 for a Mixed Use Development at 12 Myall Street, Cooroy to a future Council
    Meeting to allow further discussion with the applicant.
    refuse Application No. MCU14/0056 for a Development Permit for Material Change of
    Premises for a Mixed Use Development comprising: Retail Business Type 5 - Vehicle Uses
    (Service Station & Car Wash), Entertainment & Dining Business Type 1 - Food &
    Beverages (Fast Food Restaurant), Retail Business Type 2 – Shop (Convenience Retail),
    Industrial Business Type 1 – Warehouse (Self-Storage Facility), Visitor Accommodation
    Type 2 - Caravan Park (Tourist Park), situated at 125 Myall St, Cooroy for the following
    reasons:
    1.        The development raises significant conflicts with The Noosa Plan and its land use
    intent for the rural zone and water supply catchment area.
    2.        The development conflicts with the Southeast Queensland Regional Plan policy
    for drinking water catchment protection because it proposes expanded urban development
    with Noosa’s water supply catchment area.
    3.       The development represents a substantial expansion of Cooroy’s commercial
    precincts that will further disperse and fragment its business centre, which is undesirable.
    4.        The development will compound existing traffic problems at the Myall Street & Elm
    Street intersection, which is undesirable.
    5.        The development is partly proposed within a mapped riparian buffer area on the
    site, with insufficient basis provided to justify a reduced buffer.
    6.      The applicant has not demonstrated sufficient grounds exist to overcome the
    development’s conflicts with The Noosa Plan, with only low to moderate overall need
    apparent for the development.

    Procedural Motion
    Moved:          Cr Playford
    Seconded:       Cr Jurisevic

    That the motion lies on the table until the Ordinary Meeting on 7 May 2015.
                                                                                       Carried.
