     MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE - MULTIPLE DWELLING (10 UNITS) AT 142 NOOSA DRIVE,
     NOOSA HEADS
     That Council note the report by the Coordinator Panning to the General Meeting dated 16
     March 2020 regarding Application No. 132006.1395.05 for a minor change to an existing
     approval for Material Change Of Use – Multiple Dwelling (10 Units) situated at 142 Noosa
     Drive, Noosa Heads and:
     A.     Refuse the change for the following reasons:
     1.     The proposal is contrary to schedule 11, part 2, section 7 of the Planning Regulation
            2017 as the development is situated in a koala assessable development area and does
            not provide for habitat connectivity or safe koala movement.
            2.     The proposal is inconsistent with biodiversity assessment benchmarks (1), (2), (4)
                   and (5) of Part E of the State Planning Policy as the development will adversely
                   impact upon koala habitat and linkages, with koala populations recognised as
                   being matters of both national and state environmental significance.
            3.     The proposal is inconsistent with water quality assessment benchmarks (1) and
                   (2) of Part E of the State Planning Policy as the development has not adequately
                   demonstrated that water quality objectives will be achieved.
            4.     The proposed development will adversely impact upon the site’s ecological values,
                   including koala habitat and linkage for koala movement throughout the site contrary
                   to Overall Outcomes 13.7.2a)i, 13.7.2a)iii, 13.7.2a)iv, 13.7.2b), 13.7.2c), 13.7.2d)i,
                   13.7.2d)vii, 13.7.2e), 13.7.2g), and Specific Outcomes O1a, O3, O4, O5, O7, O10,
                   O11, O16, O17, O18a), O18b), O18e), O18h), O19b), O19c), O19g) and O19i) of
                   the Biodiversity Overlay Code.
            5.     The proposed development is inconsistent with the Noosa Heads Locality Code as
                   the proposal will adversely impact on the site’s environmental values contrary to
                   Overall Outcome 9.7.2a)iv and Specific Outcomes O3 and O20.
            6.     The proposed Bushfire Management Plan proposes vegetation removal and
                   management within a part of the site which is zoned Open Space Conservation
                   and is intended to be protected and managed to the exclusion of development.
            7.     The proposed development is contrary to Overall Outcome 13.30.2(h) of the
                   Natural Hazards Overlay Code as bushfire mitigation measures do not avoid or
                   minimise impacts on the natural environment and ecological processes.
