        I, Cr Stewart inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as
        Peter Zipf, a director of Creek gold Pty Ltd who donated to my election campaign in March 2020,
        has an interest in this application. Mr Zipf attended the pre-lodgement meeting on behalf of the
        applicant. As a result of my conflict of interest, I will now leave the meeting room while the
        matter is considered and voted on.

        Committee Recommendation
        Moved:             Cr Stockwell
        Seconded:          Cr Finzel
        That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning &
        Environment Committee Meeting dated 8 December 2020 regarding Application No.
        MCU19/0001 for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Commercial
        Business - Type 1 Office, Multiple Housing - Type 4 Conventional (4 small dwellings),
        Retail Business - Type 2 Shop & Salon situated at 6-10 Diamond Street, Cooroy and
        defer consideration of the application to the Ordinary Meeting dated 17 December
        2020:
        A.    Approve the application in accordance with the following conditions:
        B.    Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to
              approve the application:
              1.    The previous infrastructure use has been abandoned and given the site is
                    surrounded by business centre type uses, the mixed use development is a
                    logical reuse of the land.
              2.    The proposed commercial, retail and residential uses are consistent with
                    the surrounding zoning and land use pattern.
              3.     The proposed development is consistent with the Noosa Plan 2020, with
                    the site now zoned District Centre.
        C.    Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
              2016.
                                                                       Carried unanimously.
