    Natural Hazards and Natural Resources Overlay Code
         10.   The proposed development proposes development within the Water Supply
               Catchment which may result in adverse effects on the quality of water entering
               Lake Macdonald contrary to Specific Outcome O11.
    Driveways and Car Parking Code
         11.   The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c)
               and Specific Outcome O7 and O8 as:
               i.     sufficient visitor parking is not provided and appropriately located for visitors
                      of the Retirement and Special Needs use;
               ii.    sufficient parking is not provided for the golf club house; and
               iii.   internal driveways are too narrow to satisfactorily accommodate internal
                      traffic movement.
         12.   The proposed development's built form and landscaping are not consistent with
               the preferred character within Cooroy and will result in an appearance of excessive
               bulk, limited landscaping and continual roof form.
    Noosa Plan 2020
         13.   Noosa Plan 2020 has identified that it can meet the requirements for residential
               accommodation until 2041 within the current Urban Growth Boundary. The
               proposed development has failed demonstrate a significant planning need to
               develop outside of these boundaries, nor any overriding community benefit which
               would justify approval despite its conflict with the Planning Scheme and relevant
               State Planning Policies.
         14.   In preparing the Noosa Plan 2020 and in reviewing submissions pertaining to this
               property Council considered the development potential and suitability of this site
               and it determined that despite its inclusion within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ
               Regional Plan, commitment of the land for urban purposes was neither necessary
               nor appropriate.
         15.   The proposed development is not consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan
               2020 which seek that the land is developed for rural residential purposes.
         16.   The proposed development does not comply with the overall outcomes sought by
               the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code in Noosa Plan 2020 as it:
               i.     is not designed, sited, nor could it be constructed in a way that avoids
                      adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, ecological systems and
                      processes;
               ii.    does not propose to conserve, manage, enhance nor rehabilitate to protect
                      and improve biodiversity, ecosystem health, landscape stability and
                      resilience of ecological linkages and riparian vegetation;
               iii.   is not designed nor proposes a layout that provides for the protection and
                      establishment of appropriate buffers to waterways, wetlands, native
                      vegetation and significant fauna habitat;
               iv.    does not protect and enhance the terrestrial and aquatic native flora and
                      fauna and their habitats; and
               v.     does not propose landscaping for the rehabilitation of ecologically important
                      areas, degraded ecosystems and habitats to achieve a functional and
                      healthy ecosystem state that requires minimal human intervention.
         17.   The proposed development is inconsistent with reasonable community
               expectations.

                                                                                     Page 18 of 31
