               Residential Care


     retirement village means premises where older members of the community or retired
     persons reside, or are to reside, in independent living units or serviced units, under a
     retirement village scheme.

     The site is within the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Plan Area and is included within the
     Community Services Zone wherein the purposes of development are subject to impact
     assessment.

5.2 Applicable Codes

5.2.1 Preamble

     Section 6.3.3 of The Noosa Plan 2006 states that:

     “For impact assessable development, the development is assessed against the whole
     planning scheme”.

     Section 3.5.14(2) of the Integrated Planning Act provides that where the application requires
     impact assessment:


     (2) If the application is for development in a planning scheme area, the assessment
         manager’s decision must not—
         (a) compromise the achievement of the desired environmental outcomes for the
                planning scheme area;
                or
         (b) conflict with the planning scheme, unless there are sufficient grounds to justify the
              decision despite the conflict.

     Section 3.5.14(4) does not appear to be relevant to this application.
