PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 6 OCTOBER 2020


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 6 October 2020 regarding Application No, MCU20/0027 for a
Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Commercial Business - Type 2 (Medical)
involving Building Work associated with the relocation of a building within a Heritage Character
Area and Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (4 lots into 2) situated at 45 and 47a Maple
Street and 9 Myall Street Cooroy and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposed development is not consistent with the Desired Environmental
           Outcomes 3.1.3(d)(i) and (ii) of the Noosa Plan 2006 as it does not protect the
           heritage character building and provide for adaptive re-use of the existing building.
     2.    The proposed development is not consistent with the Overall Outcomes 6.7.2(n) and
           (r) of the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code of the Noosa Plan 2006 as the
           proposed development does not maintain or compliment the traditional country
           streetscape and building forms of Cooroy.
     3.    The proposed development is not consistent with Specific Outcome O16 of the
           Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code of the Noosa Plan 2006 as it does not
           provide a traditional roof form which contributes positively to the local skyline or
           complement the character of the locality.
     4.    The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 13.16.2(f)(i), (ii),
           (iv), (v) and (viii), Specific Outcomes O5, O6 and O7 of the Heritage Overlay and
           Specific Outcome O63 of the Community Services Zone of the Noosa Plan 2006 as
           it:
               i.   does not retain the existing heritage character building;
               ii. will adversely impact on the streetscape character;
               iii. proposes a built form which is not reflective of the historic architectural
                    features in Cooroy; and
               iv. does not maintain a domestic character and form consistent with the
                   Queensland vernacular specifically sought in Maple Street.
     5.    The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 14.110.2 c) and
           d) and Specific Outcomes O7 and O8 of the Driveways and Carparking Code of the
           Noosa Plan 2006 as:
               i.   the proposed car parking arrangements will not meet the reasonable
                    requirements of the proposed use with the number of tandem spaces
                    excessive; and
               ii. suitable manoeuvring areas for waste collection and service vehicles has not
                   been demonstrated.
     6.    The proposed development is contrary to the Noosa Plan 2020 provisions which
           similarly seek to protect the heritage qualities of the site and the streetscape
           character.
