EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Special Meeting
dated 13 May 2020 and the Further Report to the Special Meeting dated 13 May 2020 regarding
Application No. 152006.1999.4 to make a minor change to an existing approval to Reconfigure a
Lot (52 lots and park) situated at 191 Hollett Rd, Noosaville and:
A.                     Refuse the application for the following reasons:
                       1.   The proposed development conflicts with the South East Queensland Regional Plan
                            as the site is located in the Regional Landscape and Rural Production area, in an area
                            where the intent is to protect the landscape, environmental values and capacity for
                            rural production and where rural settlement lots are not expected.
                       2.   The proposed development conflicts with the requirements of Planning Regulation
                            2017 as it is located in the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area and will
                            result in the removal of koala habitat. The proposed development would be prohibited
                            development under the current regulations.
                       3.   The proposed development is inconsistent with the Noosa Plan’s Strategic Framework
                            as the proposed development will not conserve land for agricultural purposes and will
                            result in development inconsistent with the rural character and amenity of the locality.
                       4.   The proposed development is not consistent with the outcomes sought for the site by
                            the Tewantin and Doonan Locality Code, being located outside the urban growth
                            boundary, and on rural land intended to be protected and managed to preserve the
                            scenic and environmental values of the locality.
                       5.   The proposed development fails to meet the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
                            Biodiversity Overlay Code as the proposal will result in the removal of significant
                            vegetation, intrude into riparian buffers, and remove koala habitat.
                       6.   The proposed development does not satisfactorily address the risks to people and
                            property from bushfire and the proposed bushfire mitigation measures will adversely
                            impact on the site’s environmental values.
                       7.   There is no need for the proposed development.
                       8.   Changes are sought to conditions and the approval including conditions concerning the
                            timing of the development which are the subject of dispute in other appeals.
B.                     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
