PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   11 MAY 2021


REPORT
On 13 November 2020, an application for a 6m x 1.5m jetty to be constructed on the common
boundary between the exclusive use areas for Units 1 and 2 (to enable the jetty to be shared
between owners) was refused under delegation for the following reasons:
1    The proposal is contrary to the Watercourses Works Code as the proposal will lead to
     cluttering and adverse amenity impacts on the character and amenity of the waterway and
     the structural integrity of the revetment wall.
2    The proposal would result in adhoc development as the proposal does not address the
     developments overall demand for mooring of vessels and will therefore lead to further
     applications for additional jetties which has the potential to clutter the waterway.
3    The jetty is shared between 2 unit owners in a complex of 20 units and is not sufficient to
     moor the historical quantity of vessels in busy times without mooring the vessels unlawfully
     directly to the revetment wall.
4    The proposal is not well located for other unit owners to share the jetty as the proposal is
     located to the most southern portion of the development.
5    The jetty is not accessible to other unit owners not subject to this application because it is
     only accessible from the exclusive use area for units 1 and 2, with the exclusive use areas
     generally blocked by landscaping.
6    The proposal does not meaningfully address the historical demand of mooring of vessels
     along the frontage of the canal and therefore has the potential to lead to adverse impacts on
     the structural integrity of the revetment wall.
7    The proposed jetty would require a further development application for Material Change of
     Use for a landing under The Noosa Plan 2020 and therefore the application is piecemeal.
