PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks an extension to the currency period end date to 25 March 2023 (including the COVID 6 months automatic extension) for the reconfiguring of Lot 101 and a change to the approved plans to reflect the correct Lot number (102) for the ‘island lot’ which has been excised (under REC12/0014) from the base land parcel subject of this approval. Figure 1 shows the approved ‘island lot’ part of the main parcel Lot 101, however, it is now Lot 102.

Figure 1 - Figure 1 - The plan showing the correct lot numbers.
In support of the request to extend the currency the applicant provides the following justification:
The approved subdivision provides for a balance part of the site to be excised from the part of the site that contains Bunning’s retail warehouse store. Bunnings have recently held a prelodgement meeting with Council regarding site development potential options. Bunnings are considering their options and wish to preserve the option of excising the balance land.
As such a further two year extension to the currency period will provide Bunnings with opportunity to determine their intentions for the site, and to undertake the works necessary to enact the subdivision of the land should these decide to do so.
background
A development approval to Reconfigure 1 lot into 2 lots was issued on 4 July 2014.
An extension to the current period was granted on 27 September 2018 which extended the currency period to 25 September 2020.
assessment
The applicant has requested an extension to the currency period to the development approval under section 86 of the Planning Act 2016.
Extension to Currency
Since the last extension to currency in 2018 Council has adopted a new Planning Scheme, the Noosa Plan 2020. Although the Council’s planning scheme has changed, there has been no changes to the new Planning Scheme that would affect the assessment of the approval if it were remade today and therefore proposal remains consistent with the new Planning Scheme.
The application was referred to Councils water quality Officer as water quality treatment requirements have changed since the original approval. The existing conditions are sufficient with the development able to meet the current water quality requirements.
Change to existing approval
At the time of the original approval the base lot included an ‘island lot’. A subsequent approval REC12/0014 excised the island lot, being lot 102. The change updates the approved plans to reflect the correct existing and proposed lot numbers.
conclusion
The proposal is consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 and raises no concern.
