MCU15/0095 & REC15/0022 PM Submission Object - Petition - principal submitter - Tracy Stevens

           Given that the immediate        land uses adjoining the site are for Community Use the
           proposed service station development          is not compatible with the surrounding
           land use. For example, the proposed service station will provide constant
           temptation     for children to purchase fast foods and drinks (and other
           inappropriate     items) from the nearby shop.


           The proposed development          would only be considered compatible if it was
           located across either the Eumundi Noosa Road or Walter Hay drive, from the
           subject site, where the development          is of a predominately   industrial nature.


           Noosa Plan- Zone Map 8 (Figure 1) clearly illustrates that the current zoning of
           the site as Industry (purple) is mismatched with the zoning of the land which
           immediately      surrounds it, being community land uses (yellow). Accordingly, the
           proposed service station does not represent a logical or sensible form of
           development       over the subject premises.

       e) Other planning grounds


94.   Further guidance as to what the SPA envisages by way of "grounds"                 is contained in
      "Statutory    Guideline 05/09" referred to above.         It provides non-exhaustive        guidance
      as to what may be considered in determining           whether there are sufficient grounds to
      justify a decision that conflicts with a relevant planning instrument.             The following
      grounds are set out in the guideline:


            •      Relevant instrument is out of date


                   Example 2- The planning scheme is due for review and does not reflect current
                   planning trends and principles, such as design principles, methods for addressing
                   climate change or demographic shifts.


            •      The relevant instrument is incorrect in terms of its substance or underlying
                   assumptions for the circumstances of the particular proposal.


                                                                                                        26
