2020-08-17 General Committee Meeting Notes

RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                   17 AUGUST 2020

             b)   alternatively a Detached house and an undefined use is proposed;
             c)   the proposed lagoon/wave pool does not constitute an ‘ancillary use’; and
             d)   the proposal does not have a direct connection with the environmental or
                  scenic values of site.
        2.   The proposed development is for:
             a)   a Detached house, being an inconsistent use in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone
                  under the Noosa North Shore Locality Plan and requiring impact
                  assessment; and
             b)   Entertainment and dining business - Type 2 Recreation, amusement &
                  fitness, being an inconsistent use in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone under the
                  Noosa North Shore Locality Plan and requiring impact assessment or
             c)   Alternatively an undefined use requiring impact assessment.
        3.   The proposal does not comply with the Strategic Framework and Community
             Vision or the Desired Environmental Outcomes of The Noosa Plan for visitor
             facilities and tourism in Noosa, as:
             a)   the proposed accommodation does not support a range of accommodation
                  styles on the Noosa North Shore, is limited to one dwelling unit and is likely
                  to undermine the planning scheme’s strategy to limit visitor accommodation
                  on the Noosa North Shore to key identified sites contrary to 1.7.8 c) of the
                  Strategic Framework and 3.1.3 k) of the Desired Environmental Outcomes;
                  and
             b)   the proposed lagoon/wave pool is at odds with the natural setting, is not
                  low key and does not facilitate education and interpretation of the natural
                  environment, and instead relies on built infrastructure as the tourist
                  attraction contrary to 1.7.8 d) of the Strategic Plan and 3.1.3 k) of the
                  Desired Environmental Outcomes.
        4.   The proposal does not comply with the Overall Outcomes a), e), g), h), r), s), u),
             and oo) and Specific Outcomes O1 and O9 of the Noosa North Shore Locality
             Code, as the proposal:
             a)   is not directly related to recreational experiences offered in the locality,
                  which are based around the area’s natural environment;
             b)   is not consistent with maintaining the locality’s remote setting and
                  undeveloped character being an area largely dedicated to conservation;
             c)   is likely to adversely impact on the amenity of visitors and residents on the
                  Noosa North Shore;
             d)   is not secondary to its open space setting with a very low intensity and
                  scale of operation;
             e)   will undermine the ability of the North Shore to offer visitor accommodation;
             f)   is likely to require a large number of water tankers to initially fill and
                  continue to top up the wave pool which will impact on other ferry users and
                  residents along the road access; and



                                                                                  Page 2 of 12
