Town Planning Report                                                                             January 2018



     (d) On 21 April 2009, Council issued a Preliminary Approval for Operational Works – Drainage,
         Stormwater, Vegetation Clearing, Water & Sewerage, Earthworks and Access and Parking. A
         Preliminary Approval was issued on the basis that payment of contributions and bonds was
         outstanding. Upon payment, a Development Permit can be granted.


     (e) On 13 July 2009, Council extended the relevant period of the Ministerial approval and the
         associated Operational Works preliminary approval until the 15 October 2013.


     (f) On 31 October 2013, the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning extended
         the relevant period of the State Permit for clearing of vegetation for two (2) years.


     (g) On 11 October 2013, a request to extend the relevant period of both the Ministerial Approval and
         associated Operational Works preliminary approval was lodged with Council. This request was
         refused by Council on 1 May 2014 and an appeal was subsequently lodged in the Planning and
         Environment Court on 26 June 2014 (Appeal D93/2014). This appeal has yet to be decided and as
         such the approvals over the land are effectively still current.

Pre-Lodgement Feedback

11. A pre-lodgement meeting was held with Noosa Council on 19 May 2016 in relation to a new
    development concept. The pre-lodgement meeting was premised on a proposal for a Reconfiguration
    of a Lot (1 into 4 lots plus open space lot), 1 Dwelling House and 16 Multiple Dwelling Units.


12. It is now proposed to develop the site for Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional (12 Dwelling Units) and
    reconfigure the land into 4 residential lots and 1 Open Space Lot, whereby three of residential lots are
    intended to be developed with a single detached dwelling and one of the residential lots is intended to
    be developed for the Multiple Housing. This is largely as a reflection of changes made to the layout and
    concept following consideration of Council feedback. It is noted that the revised development concept
    is significantly more responsive to the environmental features of the land than the original MCU
    proposal approved in 2006.

13. The feedback given by Council at the pre-lodgement meeting has been assessed and considered, and
    while a detailed consideration of each of the matters is provided throughout this town planning report,
    a summary response to each of the matters raised is provided below.

    Council meeting comment – The site is located in the Noosa Heads Locality and is predominantly zoned
    Open Space Conservation with limited areas zoned Detached Housing (2,481m2) and Attached Housing
    (2,086m2). The Detached Housing and Attached Housing zone areas roughly align with the less




Combined MCU and ROL proposal                                                                    Page 6 of 28
