         8.    The proposed development is contrary to Overall Outcomes 14.157.2(b) and (d)
               and Specific Outcomes 1, 8 and 10 of the Water Sensitive Design Code as
               modelling for stormwater treatment has not included all relevant run-off areas.
         9.    Insufficient detail has been provided to demonstrate the extent and potential impact
               of the proposed height variation for the dwelling units.
         10.   The proposed development is contrary to the draft Noosa Plan provisions, which
               reinforce the current Noosa Plan’s requirements for an appropriate response to the
               site’s natural hazards and protection of the site’s environmental values including
               vegetation retention.
    B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

    That Council note the report by the Contract Planner to the Planning & Environment Committee
    Meeting dated 11 June 2019 and the Further Report to the General Committee Meeting dated
    16 March 2020 regarding Application No. MCU18/0015 for a Development Permit for Material
    Change of Use (2 Detached Houses and Multiple Housing – type 4 Conventional – 12 Units)
    and Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 4 lots plus Access Easement) situated at 27 Attunga Heights,
    Noosa Heads and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.    The proposed development is contrary to the Noosa Plan’s Strategic Framework
               and the Desired Environmental Outcomes as
               (i)     The proposal does not satisfactorily protect the site’s significant environment
                       values.
               (ii)    The proposal does not maintain a satisfactory wildlife corridor through the
                       site and intrudes into the riparian buffer to the site’s watercourse.
         2.    The proposed development is contrary to the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
               Noosa Heads Locality Code as
               (i)     The proposed uses are inconsistent with and therefore strongly inappropriate
                       in the Open Space Conservation Zone.
               (ii)    The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the proposed development
                       footprint is commensurate with the site’s constraints and values.
               (iii)   The proposal will adversely impact on the sites and the adjoining road
                       reserve’s scenic and environmental values.
               (iv)    The proposed built form will adversely impact on the visual amenity of nearby
                       properties in Attunga Heights.
               (v)     The proposed development does not respect the scale and character of the
                       surrounding development.
         3.    The proposed development is contrary to the Specific Outcomes of the Noosa
               Heads Locality Code for population density, gross floor area, site cover, building
               height and setbacks.
         4.    The proposed development is contrary to the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the
               proposal does not satisfactorily manage, minimise or mitigate its impacts on the
               site’s ecologically important areas, ecological linkages for the koala population and
