             All lots should be zoned Rural Residential.                                                                                                                           The draft Plan effectively carries forward the intent of

             Submitter is of the view that either the land was inadvertently rezoned during a past amendment to the Noosa
             Plan, or was wrongly identified as being public land near the waterway – and therefore rezoned to Open
             Space Conservation. Either way they submit it has questionable environmental values and is used for
             grazing.

             In August 1997, a rezoning application was approved over the site (gazetted May 1998), amending the zoning
