    “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning
    advice”




      It is noted that the proposed Resort Complex and Shop at 3 & 7 Serentiy Close (“Calile Noosa”), is
      on land that is the only other resort site identified under the planning scheme and available in
      Noosa Heads that could provide for the identified need. However, even with this development
      being approved, which would provide for an additional 178 rooms, there remains a significant
      need for additional short-stay rooms within Noosa (refer above).

7. The concerns raised by the submitters (and by Council officers) have been considered and the
   application has been changed to address these concerns where relevant to the proposal. This has
   included the relocation of the tennis courts to above the eastern parking levels to retain the
   isolated koala habitat towards the north of the site. Further, the addition of decked parking to the
   west, which provides for a substantial increase in the number of parking spaces being provided
   for the integrated development.

      Subject to the imposition of conditions, the proposed development will not have an unacceptable
      impact on the amenity of the area for reasons explained above and in the application material.
      Some of the issues raised in the submissions are either not relevant planning matters or are not
      relevant to the assessment of the proposal.

Summary

Having regard to the recommended reasons for refusal and the Council officer assessment report,
which supports approval, the issues raised have either been addressed in the application material or
are not valid reasons for refusal in the circumstances.

When read as a whole, the proposed development is consistent with the planning scheme and accords
with reasonable community expectations. If there is any non-compliance with the planning scheme, it
is of a technical nature only and minor, and the development will not result in any unacceptable town
planning consequences. The planning scheme would not need to be amended if an approval was
granted5. Further, there are a number of relevant matters that suggest the application should be
approved.

Please consider the above as part of the further submission to be lodged by the applicant.

Yours faithfully
