MCU STA - 132 Solar Road - Planning Report

8. Conclusions

The proposed Material Change of Use on land at 132 Solar Road, Cooroy Mountain QLD 4563 has
been assessed against the requirements of the Local and State Statutory Planning Requirements.

This report demonstrates that the proposed development is permitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Planning Act 2016 and the Noosa Plan 2020, and the proposed development can be supported
on a number of grounds, including:

       • The development application has been made in accordance with the requirements of both
          the Planning Act 2016 and the Development Assessment Rules 2017;

       • The strategic framework and outcomes identify the importance of tourism in Noosa Shire
          and are supportive of ensuring amenity of both visitors and permanent residents are
          maintained;

       • As the development application clearly demonstrates the compliance with both the
          Performance and Acceptable Outcomes of the Codes application for S Short-term
          Accommodation use within the Rural Zone;

       • The Short-term Accommodation use is proposed to be located in an existing dwelling and
          no additional structures or changes to the existing facilities are required as part of the
          proposed use;

       • The proposed use will not compromise the ecological values of the land, or have any
          impact on the rural productivity of the surrounding lands;

       • Sufficient carparking is available on site and supports the proposed use;

       • The dwelling is located on a large parcel of rural land surrounded and screened by mature,
          dense vegetation;

       • The dwelling and associated facilities (pool, covered decks and firepit) are appropriated
          located away from the adjoining rural allotments; and

       • The property is fully fenced and landscaped.


On the basis of the above assessment, it is recommended that Noosa Council approve the
proposed Material Change of Use, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions. We look forward
to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience.
