Page 10 of 21
Page 11
ORDINARY MEETING 20 JUNE 2024
(s)(i) (D) of the Noosa Plan 2020 as the proposal fails to incorporate the 10m wide landscaping
required to Hofmann Drive to achieve the parklike, vegetated setting envisaged for the centre which
is synonymous with the Noosa style.
3. The proposal is not consistent with acceptable and performance outcomes AO5, PO5, AO7.4,
PO7 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code a:
a. The development does not retain or propose to enhance the required 10m wide landscaped
garden bed to Hofmann Drive which is important to contribute and create the character sought for
the Noosa Business Centre.
4. The proposal is not consistent with the overall outcome (3)(f) and (4) acceptable and performance
outcomes AO32.4, AO32.5, AO32.6, PO32 and PO33 of the Major Centre Zone as:
a. Reducing the width of the landscaped garden beds required to Hofmann Drive, particularly where
this approach is continued for the remainder of the lots with frontage to Hofmann Drive, will
compromise and impact the ability to achieve a centre which is overall recognisable as having a
Noosa style.
b. The proposal does not retain, incorporate, or enhance the existing vegetation within the required
10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive, which is important to enhance the visual
amenity and natural landscape character of the Noosa Business Centre.
c. The proposal disrupts the landscaped streetscape treatment required to Hofmann Drive intended
to enhance the amenity and contribute positively to the centre’s character.
d. The proposed use is an inconsistent use in the Major Centre Zone Code – Business Park Precinct
will not deliver the commercial and employment uses intended for the Precinct such as health and
wellbeing, education, research and technology and knowledge-based industries.
e. The bio retention basin at the front of the site is located within the required setback area and in
front of the proposed carparking area which results in the development being more visible to the
road and not located in a park like setting.
5. The proposal is not consistent with overall outcome 2(a), (d) and performance outcome PO8 of
the Sustainable Building Design Code as the development does not provide a minimum floor to
ceiling height of 2.7m.
6. The proposed bicycle parking is not consistent with acceptable outcomes AO6.1 of the Driveways
and Parking Code as they are located in an area that impedes access around the site.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
C. Request staff to undertake action to ensure the landscaping across the frontage of the site is
consistent with development approvals RAL18/0023 and OPW20/0145.
5.4. FURTHER REPORT - MCU21/0110 - APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE -

NOOSA SPRINGS DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I have
come to understand that JFP Urban Consultants on behalf of Altum Property Group, who are the
Developers of Park Ridge Noosa Springs, made a submission against the Noosa Springs Hotel
Development. Since then, the matter has changed give Altum Property Group has withdrawn the
submission. Leigh McCready, who is associated with Altum, was involved as a volunteer with my
2020 election campaign with Future Noosa which is no longer an entity. Although I have a
declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias
because I believe I do not have a close personal relationship with Leigh & Rob McCready. Therefore,
I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on
whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
That Council note the Further Report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Planning and

(ROUND ONE) – PROGRAM/PROJECTS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club Grant application which is before us today. Leigh
McCready has recently been elected as the president of this club. Mr Rob McCready sits in a
decision-making capacity on the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Sub-Committee. Mr
McCready is married to Leigh McCready who worked as a volunteer on the 2020 Future Noosa
Election Campaign which is no longer an entity. Mr & Mrs McCready are not related parties, nor are
they close associates and therefore I do not believe this COI satisfies the requirements the act as I
do not stand to gain a benefit or loss in relation to the matter that is no greater than the benefit or
loss of a significant proportion of persons in the local government area stand to gain or
lose. However, in the public interest and full transparency I will declare this interest as I believe I am
able to make an impartial decision on the matter. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting
room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in
the decision.

In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Phillips provided the following

I, Cr Phillips, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I was
the president of Cooroy Gymnastics until September 2023, and as my parents were foundation
members. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person
could have a perception of bias because I and my parents are no longer involved in any capacity in

respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.

Cr Stockwell informed the meeting that: "For the past two terms, I have declared a conflict of interest
as a result of my long association with Noosa District Landcare and its unincorporated forebear.
However, having now received more detailed legal advice, it is clear that my circumstances do not
meet the definition of a declarable conflict of interest because the organisation is neither a close
associate nor a related party under the Local Government Act and therefore, I will not be declaring
any type of COI for this matter or in relation to that group into the future.”

11.1 CRAIG VELLA
Topic: Noosa River
Question 1.
Given considerable community concerns with the concept of a Conservation Park over the Noosa
River please advise the origins of turning the fish habitat areas of the Noosa River into a
Conservation Park. Without supplying an individual name, was it a State Agency, Council Staff, a
Councillor, or another person that proposed the concept.
Question 2.
Could the Sustainable Transport Levy which is budgeted to raise $933,000 in the 23/24 draft budget
be used to repair and/or reconstruct the 'on land component' of the boat ramp and associated car
and trailer parking at Hilton Esplanade or at any other boat ramp in the Noosa Shire? If not then
why?

11.2 ANDREW MCCARTHY
Topic: Noosa River
Question 1.
Having regard to the following commentary made by MSQ General Manager Mr Kell Dillon,
appearing in Noosa Today on 10 May 2024: We are the state marine regulator, no one else is, and
we intend to regulate the Noosa River through proper zoning and planning, recognising that it is an
important resource for the state, and maximising its use for all people, not limiting it.
Will the Noosa Council remove all references to vessel restrictions from the draft Noosa River
Catchment Management Plan and all other Council plans and documentation that exist both now
and in the future?
Question 2.
Mr Sengstock, its been almost eight months since the October 2023 Draft Noosa River Catchment
Management Plan procedural motion requiring the Council to undertake full community and
stakeholder consultation and report back with final and fully costed NRCMP in July 2024. We have
seen no Community Consultation on the NRCMP. Does that mean the Noosa Council will ignore
the October 2023 DNRCMP procedural motion in favour of Cr Stockwell's December 2023 notified
motion Accelerated River Action? If so, what is the value of a Council procedural motion?

11.3 NICK HLUSZKO
Topic: Noosa River
Question 1.
Conservation Park FAQ:
If Noosa Council did not ask the Department of Environment and Science (DES) to indicate support
or otherwise (for the Conservation Park) as was reported at the Ordinary Meeting of May 16, 2024,
why then had Noosa Council already prepared and submitted a 2 page draft Factsheet titled
'Conservation Park FAQ's' to DES on 27 September 2023 seeking assistance with the content of the
factsheet that included the following notation ' ......... such as Local Laws officers supporting Maritime
Safety Queensland as registered Shipping Inspectors' in circumstances where Noosa Council had
not consulted with Maritime Queensland about the issue nor had disclosed to Noosa ratepayers that
Noosa Council would be asking them to pay for Local Laws officers to be registered shipping
inspectors particularly during the cost of living crisis.

11.4 SHIRLEY NOCENTE
Topic: Noosaville Infrastructure Foreshore Masterplan
Question 1.
I am an 81-year-old local resident who has lived in Noosa and paid rates since 1969. I enjoy spending
time at the Noosaville waterfront every week and many times during the year with my family for
picnics and BBQs. Why, as a part of the Noosaville Foreshore Master Plan, does the Noosa Council
want to use our own Rates to limit Residents' access to the river by taking away over 100 riverside
park parks? Does this action reflect a covert Noosa Council policy to reduce the car park numbers
at key locations around our shire, as the Council did at the surf club at Christmas?
Question 2.
I was lucky enough to live opposite the Lions Park in Noosaville during the 1970s, and my family has
been fortunate to grow up around our beautiful river during that time and since. Why does the Noosa
Council plan to forever ruin the feel and soul of this special place, our beloved Noosaville foreshore,
with its overly elaborate plans, including fake sand dunes that will take up valuable picnic areas and
separate the grass and river bank spaces, making it impossible for parents to keep an eye of their
kids? Doesn't the Council believe that our Noosaville foreshore is beautiful as it is and only requires
the lightest touch?
