22070_Extension Application_070422 (002)

Considerations

Attachment 2 is a reconciliation completed comparing the provisions of the superseded planning
scheme against which the development approval was assessed and decided and the current assessment
benchmarks in the Noosa Plan 2020.

There has been no change to development intent for the Land since the Development Approval was
given. While the Noosa Plan 2020 has since taken effect, the planning scheme includes the land within
the Tourist Accommodation Zone, with the purpose of the zone to provide for short-term
accommodation, consistent with the existing approval. Performance outcome PO7 of the Tourist
Accommodation zone code further reinforces this specific outcome and development intent for the site.

What that reconciliation demonstrates, is that there is a high degree of consistency between the
assessment benchmarks in both the superseded and existing schemes, which is a strong factor
supporting approval of the extension application.

Conclusion

The extension application should be approved:

1.   so that Calile Malouf Investments Pty Ltd, who intend to develop the Land for a five-star resort, can
     acquire the Land, have a short period to assess and decide the extent and nature of any changes to
     the Development Approval and time to make a change application. That period also provides for
     the Council to assess and decide any change application; and
2.   given the close co-relation between assessment benchmarks in effect when the Development
     Approval was given and when the change application is made.


Yours faithfully
