2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 1 DRAFT 20191202-Noosa Plan Consultation Report

 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                               Planners’ Response                                                                                       Recommendation
             The proposed change to the zoning effectively renders most of the site undevelopable by virtue of its
             inclusion in the Environmental Management and Conservation Zone.
             Submitter requests that Council give due consideration to the site specific and detailed analysis of matters of
             site constraint that were completed as part of the development application process to inform an appropriate
             zoning of the subject land, including: -
             • Ecological Values;
             • Slope Stability;
             • Visual Amenity;
             • Bushfire hazard management; and
             • Site servicing and infrastructure capacity.
             Requests that Council: -
             a)   amended Proposed Zoning Plan provided at Attachment 3 be incorporated into the final New Noosa
                  Plan as it applies to the land;
             b)   the extent of Short Stay Area reflected on Map Code: SSA-0 of The Draft New Noosa Plan (refer
                  Attachment 7) be necessarily extended to incorporate the extent of the subject land proposed to be
                  included within the High Density Residential Zone as reflected on the submitted Proposed Zoning Plan
                  (refer Attachment 3); and
             c)   any consequential amendments associated with (a) and (b) above be incorporated into the final New
                  Noosa Plan as it applies to the land.
             It is submitted that these requested amendments reflect an orderly and technically justifiable development
             solution for the subject land that has previously been the subject of a rigorous assessment process by
             Council officers, and is proven to deliver the most appropriate and balanced land use outcome for the site.
 20854740    Neighbour of 27 Attunga Heights submits that the draft Noosa Plan is a good document and goes a long way           The expanded Medium Density Area at the end of Attunga Heights road provides a compromise                That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             to preserving the cultural and environment of Noosa.                                                               position that arises from the change of zoning of the current Attached Housing area next to Peppers
                                                                                                                                Resort to Environment Management and Conservation Zone - minimising disturbance to
             I note that the bush area (27 Attunga Heights) at the end of Attunga Heights has been zoned for a marginal         environmental values
             increases the size of the Medium Density Zone and zones the entirety of the remainder of the 27 Attunga
             Heights boundary as an Environmental Management and Conservation Zone. I am pleased that the draft
             Noosa Plan 2019 reconfirmations and reinforces environmental importance of the 27 Attunga Heights site “as
             ecologically important areas, water catchments, beach protection or coastal management areas or natural
             areas with historical or cultural values are protected from development”.
             While I applaud the increase in the Environmental Management and Conservation Zone within the 27 Attunga
             Heights boundary, I am disappointed that the Medium Density footprint has increased. The Noosa Hill bush
             area provides significant native animal habit and amenity to residents and visitors alike – it provides an
             important development buffer and corridor and provides residents to connect with nature as they transit the
             council pathway to Hasting Street. I believe that increase in the Medium Density Footprint in not in keeping
             with the following elements of the draft Plan. a. Zoning requirements for Medium Density Residential zones
             under the provisions of the draft 2019 Noosa Plan (6.3.2.2 section (j) and (n)) in relation to resident amenity,
             and the developments response to natural features. b. Zoning requirements for Environmental Management
             and Conservation zones under the provisions of the draft 2019 Noosa Plan (6.7.1.2 section 1(a, b and c) and
             section 2 (a)) in relation to ecologically important areas and water catchments protected from development.
 20862184    Submitter objects to the reconfiguration of the building envelop for 27 Attunga Heights. Submits the location      Submission is noted. This is a unique site with a high degree of complexities in terms of topography,    That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             of northern apex of the building envelopment raises the same site stability problems that we lodged against        biodiversity values, risk of landslide and bushfire. There is a development application currently
             the MCU 18/0015 application.                                                                                       taking its course and the eventual development on site is likely to be reflective of what comes out of
                                                                                                                                the DA process.

             to be the result of extensive community consultation and therefore its position in relation to that site should
             reflect the Strategic Direction of the Council to preserve Noosa Hill in its natural state as much as possible.
