 VIRIDIAN NOOSA - PROPOSAL REPORT




   1.               Introduction

                    This Proposal Report is submitted to Sunshine Coast Regional Council in support of
                    a Material Change of Use development application which seeks to allow short term,
                    semi-permanent and permanent occupation of 38 specified villas and penthouses in
                    the existing, approved Viridian Noosa development (“the Resort”), located at 5
                    Morwong Drive, Noosa Heads (refer to Figure 1 – Location Plan).
                    Viridian Noosa Pty Ltd (“the Applicant”) is seeking a Development Permit for a
                    Material Change of Use for Multiple Housing – Type 4 Conventional and Visitor
                    Accommodation – Type 4 Conventional to allow for greater flexibility in the use of
                    the subject units and penthouses.

                    Council will be familiar with the Resort. No change is proposed to the built form of
                    the Resort or to any other dwelling units in the Resort which may be occupied only
                    for short term accommodation. For this reason, detailed Plans of Development
                    have not been prepared or provided with this Proposal Report.
                    As a consequence of the assumptions made in the Background to Application
                    section of this Report, the proposal is assessable development under the former
                    Noosa Shire Council’s planning scheme, which requires an impact assessable
                    development application to be made.
                    Section 314 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (“the SPA”) prescribes the
                    requirements for impact assessment.

                    This Proposal Report details the characteristics of the subject site and the existing
                    development thereon, along with the statutory framework against which the
                    proposed extension is to be assessed. A detailed assessment of the proposal
                    against the relevant provisions of the statutory town planning framework is also
                    provided. Furthermore, the key technical issues are summarised and discussed,
                    and are further supported by the reports of specialist technical consultants,
                    including KPMG (demographics), Urbis (economics) and Holland Traffic Consulting
                    (traffic). These reports are attached to this Proposal Report.
