Section 19.3.1.4 requires that the planning and
development principles for the site be refined as part
of a master planning process. Section 19.3.1.5
requires that the Master Plan deal with overall
development concepts, sequencing of development
and      guidelines.   Section    19.3.1.6    requires
consultation with a range of parties over the master
plan, with approval being required from Noosa
Council and relevant State Government agencies.
It follows that the approval of the master plan (or at
least major elements of it) must necessarily take
place prior to the issue of a development approval
