     4.    The proposed development ignores the Council’s long-held planning strategy whereby
           the site is to be retained for low-cost visitor accommodation.
     5.    The proposal presents an unacceptable development outcome with respect to
           adjoining properties in Rufous Street.
     6.    The development provides for an inadequate number of car parking spaces.
     7.    The application has not demonstrated sufficient planning or community need to justify
           setting aside the clear conflicts with the Noosa Plan.
     8.    The proposed works are contrary to the Natural Hazards Overlay Code as the risk from
           bushfire has not adequately been addressed and the layout may compromise the
           safety of people and property in the event of a bushfire.
     9.    The applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated that the development will not adversely
           impact upon the specialised habitat for threatened species through discharge of
           stormwater through the wetland areas of the National Park.
     10.   The application for the proposed works has not demonstrated compliance with State
           Planning Policy July 2017 Part E Biodiversity as impacts on matters of state
           significance have not been adequately addressed.
     11.   A number of properly made submissions have been received raising valid grounds of
           objection.
