     Moved:             Cr Brian Stockwell
     Seconded:          Cr Tom Wegener
     That Item G be added to read (and the current Item G be renumbered accordingly):
     That the CEO be requested to advise the applicant that:
     1. The restriction of 6 carparking bays for the use of VIP customers of the gaming room was
     not included in the proposal plans;
     2. The restriction of 6 carparks to a very limited number of clients is considered to result in
     inadequate parking provision for the overall development; and
     3. The removal of the exclusive use restrictions on these six bays is required to meet the
     conditions of the substantive development approval.
     Carried.
     For:               Cr Brian Stockwell, Cr Karen Finzel, Cr Amelia Lorentson, Cr Jessica

     Committee Recommendation
     Moved:             Cr Frank Wilkie
     Seconded:          Cr Tom Wegener
     That Council
     A. Note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
        Meeting dated 11 November 2025 regarding MCU23/0090.02 and DBW23/0073.02, to
        make a minor change to an existing approval for a Material Change of Use (extension to
        existing hotel) and Development Permit for Building Work (Demolition) situated at 118
        Poinciana Ave Tewantin Qld.
     B. Approve the application in accordance with amendments to conditions 3, 22, 23, 26 and
        27 and outlined in Attachment 1 to the Report. Attachment 1 to the Minutes of the General
        Committee Meeting dated 17/11/2025 - MCU23/0090.02 & DBW23/0073.02 Amended
        Conditions - as provided by the Development Assessment Manager.
     C. That Condition 52 be amended to read:
        52. The gaming area be limited to 260m2 in accordance with the approved plans and
        include an Advisory Note which states: "Noosa Council is committed to minimising the
        social impacts of gaming within the community and therefore does not support any
        increase in the number of gaming machines in the Noosa Shire.";
     D. Update the Reference documents to include the Royal Mail Hotel Tewantin: Noise Impact
        Assessment report prepared by Assured Environmental and dated 23.09.2025 Release
        R, Ver R2.
     E. Refuse to delete conditions 28 and 42(f) for the following reasons:
             a. Condition 28 is required to provide a quantifiable noise level of non-amplified
                 entertainment in the northern beer garden.
             b. Condition 42(f). The proposed End of Trip Facilities are required to encourage
                 users of the site including employees to access the site by alternative transport
                 modes. The absence of EOT facilities in the existing hotel does not justify non-
                 compliance in the proposed expansion. Staff may work across varied shifts, and
                 facilities such as a shower and secure locker may improve staff ability to utilise
                 alternative transport.
