EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Building and Plumbing Officer to the Planning &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 providing the quarterly statistics on
decisions in relation to building relaxations and comparisons with the previous quarter
statistics.
REPORT
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with statistics with regard to building
relaxation applications. The statistics provided within this report cover the period from
1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015.
Background
Council’s Building and Plumbing Services area has the responsibility for the management
and assessment of building applications as the referral agency assessor. The decision
process for these applications is undertaken with the intent to meet the requirements within
the Noosa Planning Scheme, and includes assessment against the Detached House Code
and Building Works Code and in some circumstances Queensland Development Code -
MP1.2.
Referral Agency Building Activities (RAB)
Council’s Building and Plumbing Team review RAB applications on behalf of Council. These
activities include the assessment requirements for design and siting which covers boundary
encroachments and site cover provisions for single dwellings and associated buildings on all
residential land.

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Process Review
The Building and Plumbing Branch has implemented a more consistent approach across all
activities and functions. This includes a revised assessment approach using new templates
in reviewing RAB applications.
This new approach has resulted in a greater number of applications being issued with
conditions, as shown in the table below. Conditions are placed on applications to ensure any
development design reflects all the applicable performance provisions of the relevant Code
for the life of the development.
The table below provides details on the applications received and reviewed during the
previous two quarterly periods. Key statistics are highlighted as follows.

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval to convert a tenancy within an existing medical centre at 168
Noosa Parade, Noosaville to a Commercial Business Type 1 – Office. The subject tenancy is
located within a standalone building in the western part of the site and is proposed to be
used as a real estate agency. The eastern building is to remain as a medical centre.
The proposal will involve internal renovations to the 190m2 gross floor area building including
new reception, offices, meeting and training rooms. External renovations include extending
an awning over the pathway along the southern side of the building, as well as updating the
façade and windows to a more contemporary design. No additional gross floor area is
proposed.
The applicant indicates the tenancy to be used by the support staff (administration,
accounts, reception and property manager) as well as a base for sales staff and will operate
Monday to Friday at normal business hours (9am – 5pm) with reduced hours and staff
numbers on Saturdays. The applicant also seeks approval to alter the existing landscaping
on site, however does not propose any additional signage.
The application is before Council, because an office use is inconsistent within the Attached
Housing zone. The locality and proposed site plan is included below as Figures 1 & 2, with
further plans included as Attachment 1.

Section 10
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Figure 2 Proposed Site Plan
2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
On the 30 January 1992, Council approved a Medical Centre on the 1,085m2 site (TPC
2404). The development is constructed of rendered masonry block with areas of timber
cladding and glass blocks. The development utilises several curved colourbond roof forms
across the building and two car parking areas are provided on site. The western building has
been used by a number of health care professionals since the original approval and the
eastern building is currently occupied by a dentist.
On the 27 November 2012, Council issued a Show Cause Notice for illegal building works to
the subject tenancy. The works included an additional 20m2 of gross floor area and filled in
existing terraces and parts of the carparking area creating additional medical consultation
rooms. The previous owners subsequently removed the illegal works, complying with the
orders of the Show Cause Notice.
A copy of the existing approved layout of the building is included as Attachment 2.
2.2. Site Description
The site is situated on the eastern side of the Noosa Parade and Weyba Road roundabout
intersection. There is substantial existing vegetation within the south western corner of the
site, which screens much of the existing building.
There are 2 driveway accesses from the Noosa Drive frontage to the site. The most western
access and car park is located between the two buildings and provides car parking for 8
vehicles. The eastern access and car park is located on the eastern portion of the site and
provides car parking for 4 vehicles.
Page 10 of 139
Section 11
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is located in the Noosaville locality and the surrounding area is characterised by a
mix of larger unit developments. The existing uses that immediately surround the subject site
comprise the following:
To the north: ‘Noosa Place’ 21 unit residential complex
To the south (across the road): Weyba Creek
To the west (opposite the site): ‘Coco Bay’ 23 unit residential complex.
To the east: ‘Noosa Keys’ 15 unit residential complex.
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 the application must be assessed against each of
the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the
development:
State Planning Policies;
The South East Queensland Regional Plan;
State Planning Regulatory Provisions; and
The Noosa Plan.
Of these, the statutory planning instruments relevant to this application are discussed in the
sections that follow.
3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policies
The change of use does not trigger separate assessment against the State Planning Policy.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2009 - 2031
The site is located within the Urban Footprint area the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is
consistent with the regional policies and regulatory provisions of the SEQ Regional Plan.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Noosaville Locality and is zoned Attached Housing. The
proposed use is identified as inconsistent within the zone and is required to follow an impact
assessable application process.
Locality Provisions
The proposed office raises conflicts with the Noosaville Locality Code as it is identified as an
inconsistent use within the Attached Housing zone. The Outcomes of the Code seek to
ensure new uses avoid impacts on the residential amenity of the area. Given the conflict, the
applicant must demonstrate sufficient grounds to support the development in accordance
with Section 329 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. The applicant provides the following
grounds in support of the proposal:
The proposal involves the reuse of an existing building that was approved for use as a
medical centre.
An office is a similar use to that of a medical centre;
No significant new building works are required to accommodate the use on the site;
The proposed transfer of one business use to another will not result in further impacts
on adjoining neighbours; and
Page 11 of 139
Section 12
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
The use will be generally limited to day time operations and will not be reliant on
passing traffic for business. Clients will generally attend the site by appointment and
the use will not generate high volumes of traffic.
The applicant’s grounds are noted and generally agreed to. The site has been used
continuously as a medical centre since the 1990s and part of the site will continue to be used
for this purpose. The proposed office will operate with similar impacts to that of a medical
centre and will not adversely affect the surrounding residential amenity as the use is
contained in the existing building fronting Noosa Parade.
Land Use & Works Provisions
The following codes which regulate land use and design are most applicable to this
application:
Noosaville Locality Code;
Business Uses Code;
Landscaping Code; and
Engineering Works Codes
The application has been assessed against each of the above applicable codes and
generally complies with each code. Further discussion is provided below in respect to
carparking and landscaping.
Carparking
Carparking is shared between both buildings on the site, with the existing approval providing
12 carparking spaces for the medical centre, with 6 carparking spaces generally attributed to
each building. The Noosa Plan now requires carparking for both medical centres and offices
at the rate of 1 space per 20m2 for a development of this size.
Given the proposal is for a similar intensity commercial use within an existing building and
does not increase the area of the tenancy, the onsite carparking area is considered
adequate for this land use. There are also a number of on-street carparking spaces in the
Noosa Parade frontage to accommodate any overflow carparking without impacting on the
road network, consistent with the Outcomes of the Driveways and Carparking Code.
Landscaping
The applicant intends to rejuvenate the existing landscaping on site and has prepared a
detailed landscape plan for the site, including:
Removal of the existing fence along Weyba Road;
New pedestrian pathway connecting Noosa Parade to Weyba Road through the site;
Reinforcement plantings along Noosa Parade frontage with a mixture of trees and
shrub species; and
Retention of existing native feature trees.
An additional 12 x 45L native tree species are proposed within the street frontages to assist
in lessening the building’s bulk. The proposed landscaping will supplement and enhance the
existing significant trees on site consistent with the Outcomes of the Landscaping Code.
Overlay Provisions
The site is mapped as being affected by the Natural Hazards (Flooding and Acid Sulfate
Soils) Overlay. The proposal is for the re-use of the existing building with no significant
earthworks or the existing floor levels altered. The proposal will not compromise the safety of
users to the site and meets the relevant Outcomes of the Overlay Codes.

4. CONSULTATION
4.1. IDAS Referral Agencies
Not Applicable.
4.2. Public Notification
The application was publicly notified for 15 business days in accordance with the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009. No submissions were received.
5. CONCLUSION
The proposed office use within an existing medical centre tenancy raises conflicts with the
consistent uses identified for the Attached Housing residential zone. However, the reuse of
the building will have similar impacts to the existing approved medical centre and does not
raise any significant planning concerns.
No significant new building works are required to accommodate the use and the proposal will
be generally limited to day time operations, resulting in no further impacts on adjoining
neighbours. The application is therefore recommended for approval, with grounds identified
to overcome the planning conflict included in the recommendation.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 and refuse Application No. OPW15/0118 for a
Development Permit for Operational Works (Signage), situated at 25 Hastings Street, Noosa
Heads for the following reasons:
1. The proposed signage is inconsistent with the overall outcomes sought by The Noosa
Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, because it:
a. involves a sign exceeding the maximum sign face area for a single sign;
b. involves a total sign face area exceeding the Code’s limit;
c. will result in a proliferation of signage and visual clutter; and
d. involves signage that detracts from the desirable characteristics of Hastings
Street.
2. The proposed signage will adversely impact on the character and amenity of Hastings
Street.
REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval for various signs to a shop front and stairwell at 25 Hastings
Street. In summary the proposed signs are:
Sign type Location Sign dimensions (m²) Size face area (m²)
Wall sign Continuous display boxes 4.3 x 2.1 9.03
fixed to a stairwell
Wall sign logo on column 1x1 1 (approx.)
Wall sign logo above entry door 1.2 x 0.3 0.36 (approx.)
Window window display boxes beside 1.3 x 2.1 2.73
sign the entry door
Total sign face area 13.12m²
The largest wall sign, an area of continuous display boxes, is proposed to be wrapped
around one of three columns/stairwells of the development. The total sign face area for the
display boxes is 4.3m x 2.1m, being 9.03m².
Two additional wall signs (Dowling Neylan logos) and a window sign (as display boxes) are
included on the artist’s impressions which have not been included on the architectural plans.
All signs on the premises must be considered for assessment of signage. The two wall signs
are approximately 1m² and 0.36m² and the window sign is 2.73m² (1.3m x 2.1m) adding an
additional area of 4.09m² to the total sign face area for the premises.
The signs, as proposed, do not comply with the Probable Solutions of the Advertising
Devices Code in regard to total sign face area of 10m² and the maximum sign face area of
4m² permitted on a premises. An artist’s impression of the proposed signage is shown below
in Figure 1.
The application is before Council as the signage is recommended for refusal.

2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Site Description
The shop is at street level at the western end of the Tingirana complex adjacent the walkway
connecting Hastings Street to the beach. The signs are placed on the stairwell wall (part of
common property) and the shop front. Figure 2 below identifies the shop’s location.
Figure 2 – Tingirana highlighted in purple and the location of the shop within the complex is
circled.

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Figure 3 – The existing shop front
2.2. Surrounding Land Uses
The shop is located on Hastings Street where a variety of commercial and residential uses
exist. The site is located adjoining a walkway to the beach.
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 the application must be assessed against each of
the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the
development:
State Planning Policies;
the South East Queensland Regional Plan;
State Planning Regulatory Provisions;
any Structure Plan or Master Plan in place for declared areas;
any Preliminary Approval Overriding the Planning Scheme for the land;
the Planning Scheme for the local government area; and
any Temporary Local Planning Instrument in place for the local government area.
Of these, the statutory planning instruments relevant to this application are discussed in the
sections that follow.
3.2. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Noosa Heads Locality and is zoned Visitor Mixed Use. The
proposed signs are identified as inconsistent and are required to follow a code assessable
application process.
Page 23 of 139
Section 24
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Signage Provisions
The Advertising Devices Code regulates signage and is applicable to this application. The
pertinent issues arising out of the assessment against the code are discussed below.
Definition of Sign face area
The applicant suggests the sign face area of the wall sign (continuous display boxes) is
1.512m² and has calculated the size of 1 x ‘display sheet’ that is placed within each display
box and multiplied it by the number of display boxes. This method of calculation is not
agreed with as it is not per the Planning Scheme definition which states:
Sign face area means—
a) the area of the smallest rectangle that can wholly contain the advertising device,
inclusive of any decorative lines, stripes, borders and architectural trims that
immediately surround the device;
It is considered the whole display case fixed to the wall is calculated as sign face area which
includes a border and architectural trim.
Non-compliance with Probable Solutions
The wall sign face area (continuous display boxes) of 9.03m², located around a masonry
stairwell, does not comply with Probable Solution S2.6 which limits the sign face area of a
wall sign to a maximum of 4m².
The total sign face area (the combined area of all signs on the premises) of 13.12m² does
not comply with Probable Solution S2.7 which limits the total face area for the premises to a
maximum of 10m².
Given the non-compliance with the above Probable Solutions, the signs must be assessed
against Specific Outcome O1 g) & j) and Specific Outcome O2 of the Advertising Devices
Code as follows:
Specific Outcome O1 The following advertising devices are inconsistent with the overall
outcomes sought by this Code and are not located in the former Noosa Shire —
a) Balloons or other gas filled advertising devices;
b) Blind signs;
c) Attached Flagpole signs;
d) Moving signs;
e) Roof signs;
f) Signs illuminated by, or incorporating, neon lighting;
g) Signs with a sign face area exceeding 4m²;
h) Sky signs;
i) 3-Dimensional sign;
j) any combination of signs on one premise with a combined sign face area of more than
10m².
Specific Outcome O1 g) & j) states the proposed signage is inconsistent with the outcomes
sought by the Advertising Devices Code.
Specific Outcome O2 Advertising devices—
f) are compatible with the human-scale and character of the locality in which they are
situated;
g) are compatible with the scale, proportion, bulk and other characteristics of buildings,
structures and landscaping; and
h) are designed, sited and integrated so as not to contribute to the proliferation of visual
clutter.
Page 24 of 139
Section 25
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Sign Face Area
The 9m² wall sign is out of character with existing signage in Hastings Street where small
shop frontages provide for limited small scale signage. The applicant has provided examples
of some larger window signs (greater than 4m²) in Hastings Street but this is not the
established character of the street signage overall. Given the small scale of shops in
Hastings Street and the narrow shop front of the subject premises, the 9m² sign is not
compatible with the scale and proportion of the premises or the developed character of
Hastings Street.
Furthermore, the 9m² sign is proposed on the stairwell which protrudes nearly 2m forward of
the building alignment making the large sign more prominent to the street and adding to the
proliferation of visual clutter.
Total sign face area
The total sign face area proposed is 13.12m² exceeding the maximum permissible sign face
area of 10m².
The shop front is approximately 3m wide but the use of the adjoining common property (the
stairwell) creates approximately 6m of frontage to Hasting Street; a narrow street frontage.
The total signage on the subject premises of 13.12m² is considered incompatible with the
character of the small scale signage in Hastings Street and out of proportion with the narrow
subject site’s frontage and the surrounding developments. The majority of the 13.12m² will
protrude forward of the building alignment creating a prominent (both in size and location)
signage display adding to the proliferation of visual clutter.
4. CONCLUSION
The 9m² sign is more than double the size permitted by The Noosa Plan. The total signage
to the 6m frontage is not in proportion to the premises or consistent with the developed
character of Hastings Street and will therefore contribute to the proliferation of visual clutter.
The proposed size and quantity of signs are inconsistent with the overall outcomes sought
by the Advertising Devices Code and are recommended for refusal.

7pm to 10pm: Maximum background + 3dB(A)
10pm to 7am: No audible noise.
Page 29 of 139
Section 30
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
18. Submission of written certification from a suitably qualified person confirming that
the noise levels from all mechanical equipment comply when measured at either
the residential boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building,
whichever is the closest to the equipment. The assessment and certification is
required immediately after installation of the equipment and prior to any
occupation of the building, and in a format approved by Council. All equipment
should be operating at the same time to test the overall noise level created.
Advice: It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the
installation is involved at the plan development stage so they can recommend
where this equipment is best located. They can also advise about noise
enclosures and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot
more costly to try and deal with noise problems after everything is built.
19. Noise from residential building works shall comply with the following –
19.1. Limited to between 7:00am to 6:30pm Monday to Saturday.
19.2. All reasonable measures are taken to minimise noise emissions.
19.3. Not permitted on Sunday or public holidays.
ENGINEERING
Geotechnical Stability
20. A Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified person must assess the soil
condition on site, determine the soil classification, establish whether any
measures are required to protect the stability of adjoining buildings and/or
structures and/or land, and make recommendations on the type of foundation
system(s) best suited for the proposed development. The recommendations of
this report must be incorporated into the design and construction of the proposed
development.
21. Earthworks required on site must be carried out in accordance with Council’s
Planning Scheme Policy PSP5 – Engineering Design Standards so as not to
cause the additional ponding of water on any adjoining lands or the blockage of,
or interference with, any natural watercourses.
22. A Condition Survey must be carried out on adjoining buildings, structures and
services prior to any demolition, excavation or construction works taking place on
site. If distress already exists, a photographic survey should be undertaken, the
distress measured and a plan to monitor changes to distress must be
implemented. Copies of these surveys must be submitted to Council for its
records
23. The use of vibratory equipment of any kind is not permitted to be used (including
vibrating rollers and the use of vibrating installation techniques for sheet piling
and other construction vibrations caused by excavating, earthmoving or
demolition machinery or other similar construction techniques) unless approved
and supervised by a Certified Geotechnical Engineer. Under such
circumstances the operator of such equipment must at all times comply with the
directions of the Geotechnical Engineer.
24. The excavation of the site and the construction of the proposed works must not
have any adverse effects on the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures
and/or services and/or lands. In this respect, a Registered Professional Engineer
Queensland must supervise the excavation of the site and the construction of the
new works to determine whether any additional measures are required to protect
the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or services and/or lands.
Page 30 of 139
Section 31
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
25. At the completion of the development a suitably qualified and accredited
consultant must provide certification to Council that states that:
25.1. the development has been undertaken in accordance with the design
25.2. the development will not have any long term effects on the stability of the
subject site or any adjoining properties
25.3. the site has a minimum factor of safety against landslip of 1.5.
Advisory Notes
Compliance Inspection
1. Prior to the commencement of the use, please contact Council's DA Planning
Section to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.
Qualified Person
2. For the purpose of preparing a Geotechnical Report, and for certifying
geotechnical stability for the development, a qualified person is considered to be
a person who:
2.1. is a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ); and
2.2. has a degree in civil engineering or engineering geology; and
2.3. has a minimum of 5 years’ experience in the field of geotechnical
engineering or engineering geology.
B. Find the following sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with the
Planning Scheme:
1. The multiple dwelling use is existing on the site and the development does not
involve intensification of the use in regard to the number of units or population
density.
REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The application seeks a Development Permit for renovations and additions to a unit within an
existing unit development of 3 units on the site. The land is steeply sloping and the existing
units are configured with 2 units at the front of the site and 1 at the rear. Substantial
additions are proposed to the rear unit, comprising:
Enclosure of an existing roof deck to create a new storey containing a bedroom,
ensuite, study and deck.
New basement board storage room.
Renovation and extensions to the existing ground and first floor levels, including
additional decks and atrium area.
Addition of a new passenger lift.
While the multiple dwelling use on the site is existing, the works are considered to constitute
a Material Change of Use due to the increase in scale of the building proposed. In
particular, portions of the works will exceed maximum building height of either 8m or 2-
storeys, including:
A new lift shaft to approx. 9.4m

2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
The existing units on the site were approved via Town Planning Consent (TPC230) in 1972.
At the time the site contained an existing house at the rear of the block and the Consent
allowed the construction of 2 additional units toward the street frontage.
2.2. Site Description
The site is rectangular in shape and 607m2 in size. A large dune is apparent between Bryan
Street and Belmore Terrace, with the crest line running through the Bryan Street properties
to the rear of the subject site. The land slopes steeply toward the Belmore Street frontage
and has an overall fall of approximately 11m across the site’s 40.2m depth, representing an
average slope of 27%. The land toward the rear of the site where the new works are
proposed is particularly steep, with slopes exceeding 40%.
The open space areas on the site contain a mix of native and exotic trees, shrubs and palms
and existing vegetation is reasonably dense at the rear of the development.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is directly adjacent detached houses and duplexes within the Semi-Attached
Housing zone along the northern end of Belmore Terrace. A number of larger unit
developments are further to the south on Belmore Terrace within the Attached Housing
zone. Properties off Bryan Street directly at the rear of the site are within the Detached
Housing zone and contain single houses. Figures 1-3 below show an aerial photograph,
zone map and street view.

3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 the application must be assessed against each of
the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the
development:
State Planning Policies;
the South East Queensland Regional Plan;
State Planning Regulatory Provisions;
the Planning Scheme for the local government area; and
any Temporary Local Planning Instrument in place for the local government area.
Of these, the statutory planning instruments relevant to this application are discussed in the
sections that follow.
3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2009 - 2031
The site is located within the Urban Footprint area of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal
is consistent with the regional policies and regulatory provisions of the SEQ Regional Plan.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Eastern Beaches Locality and is zoned Semi-Attached
Housing. The existing multiple dwelling use of 3 units on the site is identified as inconsistent
within the zone and the application is therefore required to follow an impact assessable
application process.
Locality Provisions
The code seeks to limit development within the Semi-Attached Housing zone to detached
houses and duplexes, however, the 3 units on the site lawfully exists. The applications
seeks to maintain the existing population density for the site (i.e. number of units/bedrooms)
and make additions to the rear unit that remain generally within the built form limits provided
by the code, though some relaxations are sought. The table below outlines the
development’s level of compliance with the built form provisions for a duplex dwelling on the
site.

approx.
(for new works)
The new works require relaxations to the maximum building height in metres and storeys
and the rear boundary setback.
Building Height in Metres
The proposal plans indicate 2 portions of the building additions will exceed maximum
building height in metres above Natural Ground Level, being the top of the new passenger
lift shaft (to approx. 9.4m) and external timber cladding features to the new atrium area (to
approx. 8.6m). These are indicated as penetrating the height envelope in the perspective
view in Figure 4 below.
Figure 4 – Architectural Perspective Showing Height Envelope
Page 35 of 139
Section 36
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
The lift shaft is only 2m x 2m in area and sits within the middle of the site, behind the existing
units at the front of the lot and in front/below the rear unit it provides access to. The primary
concern with the lift is its effect on the views of the neighbouring property to the north (43
Belmore Terrace). A joint inspection was undertaken with these neighbours and
photographs of the existing view provided to the project architect for further consideration.
Attachment 2 shows plans provided to assess the impact on the view in detail. Figure 5
below shows an extract of that plan and indicates only a minor loss of sky view.
Figure 5 – Superimposed View to South from Neighbouring House
The height incursion of the top of the 2m x 2m lift shaft does not significantly add to the
building’s bulk or unduly impact on the views or visual amenity from the neighbouring
property. Conditions are recommended requiring the lift shaft to be predominantly
glazed/transparent, as indicated on the proposal plans, and for all external finishes to have
low reflectivity to avoid glare nuisance.
In regard to the 0.6m relaxation required for the timber architectural features extending
above the roofline (shown in Figure 4), this relaxation is considered minor and will have
negligible impacts. The proposed relaxations for building height in metres are therefore
supported.
Building Height in Storeys
The addition of the new upper level results in a portion of the building constituting 3 storeys,
as shown in the plan extract in Figure 6 below.
Page 36 of 139
Section 37
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Figure 6 – Section Plan Extract (Annotation Added)
The full section plan is included in Attachment 1. The unit’s existing lower level, shown as
“Guest” above, is excavated into the hillside and partly constitutes a basement. The portion
more than a metre out of the ground constitutes a storey under planning scheme definitions
and results in the 3-storey portion. Overall, the building steps up the hill in 2-storey portions
and the lower-partial basement is not visible. The lower level of the rear unit is also
screened from view from the street by the front units.
The building could be made to comply by demolishing the lower guest area to become a
sub-floor area but this would have no real effect on the building’s bulk. The relaxation
generally relates to the site’s steep slope and is considered relatively minor, with no
significant impacts on building bulk or the visual amenity of the development.
Rear Setback
The proposal plans seek to convert the existing terrace area at the rear of the building to an
open-air outdoor shower area with a new suspended-floor bunk room and bathroom above.
The existing terrace area is shown in Figure 7 below.
Figure 7 – Existing Rear Terrace
Page 37 of 139
Section 38
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
The terrace conversion and bunk room addition encroaches into the rear setback, with the
rear wall of the bunk room set back 3m from the rear boundary and the lower supporting
framework set back approximately 2.5m, as shown clouded in red in Figure 8 below.
Figure 8 – Section Plan Extract
The rear encroachment is approximately 4.2m wide and is less than 1/3 of the site’s width,
as indicated in the plan extract below.
Figure 9 – Upper Level Floor Plan extract (annotation added)
Page 38 of 139
Section 39
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Construction of these rooms above the existing terrace should require minimal vegetation
disturbance, with existing dense screening vegetation able to be maintained and enhanced
with new plantings. As indicated in the section drawings in Figures 5 & 8, the encroachment
sits below the height of the roofline at the complying setback and does not result in the loss
of views for residents at the rear. The reduced rear setback is supported, with conditions
recommended relating to the existing vegetation and new landscaping requirements.
Land Use, Works and Overlay Provisions
The following codes which regulate land use and design are most applicable to this
application:
Residential Uses Code
Landscaping Code
Engineering Works Codes
Natural Hazards Overlay Code
The application has been assessed against each of the above applicable codes and
complies, or can be conditioned to comply with each. The critical issue of slope stability is
discussed further below.
Slope Stability
The site is within a Landslide Hazard Area identified on the Natural Hazards Overlay
mapping. The soil is sand and slopes very steeply toward the rear of the block. Limited new
excavation and groundwork is indicated on the proposal plans, however, a precautionary
approach to any such work is important to avoid landslip or disturbance of existing
structures. Council’s Operational Works Coordinator recommends a number of conditions
requiring a Geotechnical Engineer’s design and supervision of the works, condition surveys
of existing structures and prohibition of vibratory earthwork equipment.

recommended accordingly.
Are there any regulations regarding No planning controls apply, however, any new

existing antennae on the site and adjacent
properties.
5. CONCLUSION
The proposed additions and alterations to an existing unit on the site raise non-compliance
issues relating to the planning scheme provisions for building height and the rear setback.
The additions to the unit are substantial, however, the development otherwise generally
accords with the built form provisions for a duplex building on the site. The height relaxations
sought are relatively minor components of the works and result in part from the site’s steep
slope. The areas of non-compliance for height are not considered to significantly add to
building bulk, impact on views or detract from the visual amenity of the development.
Similarly, the building’s encroachment into the rear setback is a small portion of the building,
will be well screened by vegetation within the setback and does not impact on neighbours’
views. The application is therefore recommended for approval, subject to conditions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Environment Officer to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 and;
A. Approve the planting and maintenance of 300 koala habitat trees in the Girraween
Nature Refuge using the koala offset financial contribution paid by CBD Settlers Cove
Pty Ltd pursuant to Offsets for Net Gain of Koala Habitat in SEQ; and
B. Approve the remaining koala habitat offset contribution paid by CBD Settlers Cove Pty
Ltd to be expended in accordance with Option 1 as outlined in the report.
REPORT
The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding the proposed expenditure of
the koala offset financial contribution paid by CBD Settlers Cove Pty Ltd to meet their
statutory obligations under the State government’s previous koala policy Offsets for Net Gain
of Koala Habitat in SEQ. The contribution was required to be paid as a condition of a
development approval for a resort development of 109 dwelling units and 90 accommodation
units at Settlers Cove. The development was approved by Sunshine Coast Regional
Council on 8 April 2010 with the relevant period subsequently extended in 2013 to April
2017. The condition requires a monetary contribution to be paid to offset the removal of 48
mature koala habitat trees which would be impacted by the approved development and was
imposed pursuant to the requirements of the Offsets for Net Gain of Koala Habitat in SEQ.
106. A monetary contribution of $44,160 ($920 x 48 trees) must be made to Council for the
off-set of 48 koala habitat trees in accordance with the Policy for Offsets for New Gain
of Koala Habitat in South East Queensland. The monetary contribution must be paid
within 12 months of this approval taking effect pursuant to the Offsets for Net Gain of
Koala Habitat in South East Queensland
The Offset for Net Gain of Koala Habitat in SEQ provided the option of paying $920 per
mature koala habitat tree required to be removed to facilitate the development as a koala
offset. This financial option includes the cost of acquiring land outside the urban footprint in
South East Queensland.
1. Koala Habitat Offset Site Investigations
The Offsets for Net Gain of Koala Habitat in SEQ policy net gain objective is said to be met if
an offset contributes the equivalent of five new koala habitat trees for every non-juvenile
koala habitat tree removed. The policy requires the offset to be provided in an area identified
Page 55 of 139
Section 56
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
as high value or medium value suitable for rehabilitation habitat on the regulatory maps. All
offset plantings are required to be permanently secured for conservation purposes.
A total of 300 new koala habitat trees are proposed to be planted to meet the required 5:1
offset ratio for each tree cleared. This also includes approximately 20% extra planting
contingency to account for potential tree failures.
The land surrounding the Settlers Cove resort site was investigated for the purpose of
providing the offsets as close as possible to where the koala habitat is to be cleared. This
area was determined to be unsuitable as there is insufficient area to plant 300 koala trees
and the current land tenure does not provide suitable conservation protection. It is also
preferable to ensure koala habitat trees immediately adjacent to the area of impact are
protected and retained with the additional provision of successional koala habitat trees by
planting. However, the area around the Settlers Cove development could not successfully
accommodate the required planting due to the previously mentioned constraints.
The closest and most suitable offset planting site has been identified in Girraween Nature
Refuge (Attachment 1). The selection of the site has been made in consultation with
Environmental Services and the Natural Areas team and is located east of the sewerage
treatment plant. The site is used by koalas and the proposed plantings will augment and
expand upon existing koala habitat as well as providing additional biodiversity values. The
Girraween Nature Refuge is a legally secured site by virtue of its Nature Refuge status under
the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the provision of koala habitat trees aligns with the
management intent of the refuge.
The proposed planting area meets the requirements of the State’s Offsets for Net Gain of
Koala Habitat in SEQ policy. The proposed plantings are in an area identified as medium
value suitable for rehabilitation habitat on the regulatory maps, provide a minimum offset
ratio of 5:1 and the land is legally secured by virtue of its Nature Refuge status.
The planting of koala habitat also accords with the recently adopted Council Policy Koala
Conservation by identifying public land suitable for offsets and through the protection and
conservation of koala populations and habitat.
2. Koala Habitat Offset Site Costing
The Natural Areas team has obtained an estimate of the costs associated with the provision
of the koala offset plantings, which include the site preparation, planting and a 5 year
maintenance period. The estimate is $30,000 which averages out to $100/tree.
A residual amount of approximately $14,000 remains, noting the $920/tree offset contribution
amount includes a land cost component. A number of options are available to Council which
can be used to advance koala conservation in the shire. These options include, but are not
limited to;
1. Increasing the amount of tree plantings in the Girraween Nature Refuge by 140 trees
and maintaining them for a minimum period of 5 years; or
2. Implementing an enhanced program of bushland rehabilitation on public lands that
surround the impact site, Serenity Close, Noosa Heads to ensure continued availability
of Koala food trees through weed control and supplementary plantings; or
3. Engaging a researcher to assess the health of the koala population(s) of Noosa
Heads/Weyba Creek; or
4. Improving koala road crossing safety by addressing koala mortality hotspots through
the provision of additional fencing, speed reduction, and/or provision of koala furniture
to culverts.
Page 56 of 139
Section 57
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
The provision of the additional trees and funds to the Girraween Nature Refuge area
(Option 1) is recommended as this increases the amount of available koala habitat area,
provides additional biodiversity values to the Nature Refuge Area, reduces general
maintenance costs of the area over time, and reduces weed mass and spread.
The planting of the koala offset habitat trees is proposed to commence in the 2015 growing
season (spring-summer) subject to Council approval.
Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting 2 July 2015, Item 2, Page 5
That Council note the report by the Environment Officer to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 23 June 2015 and;
A. Note the Department of Transport and Main Road’s agreement to enter into
discussions with Noosa Council in regard to finding a suitable koala habitat offset
location within Noosa Shire and request staff to investigate suitable offset locations
and report the matter back to a future Council meeting; and
B. Request the Environmental staff:
1. Identify potential Strategic Offset Investment Corridors in Noosa Shire for
inclusion into the new planning scheme;
2. Develop a register of landholder interest;
3. Investigate options for securing land for the purpose of providing advanced
offsets in conjunction with the Environment Levy Working Group;
4. Investigate incorporating Matters of Local Environmental Significance into the
new planning scheme; and
5. Present recommendations to a future meeting of Council.
Finance & Risk
This report considers the expenditure of koala offset funds in line with the original policy
intent. The offset plantings are fully funded by the development approval condition. There
are no other risks associated with the koala offset plantings.

6 SURVEY & REGISTER OF NOOSAVILLE INDUSTRIAL AREA BUSINESSES
DOCUMENT INFORM AT ION

Department of Planning & Infrastructure
Index ECM/Subject/Industrial Zone Survey/Audit (Noosaville)
Attachments 1. Summary of Survey Results
2. Map of Noosaville Industrial Businesses
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager, Planning & Environment to the Planning &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 and
A. Use the results of the survey of the Noosaville Industrial area to inform decisions on
industrial and broader business land allocation and mix of uses in the next planning
scheme; and
B. Request officers to regularly monitor the area to ensure that any new businesses are
compliant with the industrial zoning.
REPORT
A survey was undertaken of all Noosaville industrial area businesses during May and June
this year. The audit was undertaken for a number of reasons:
To develop a register of existing businesses in the industrial area, with the register
intended to assist in monitoring the area to ensure that any new businesses are
compliant with the industrial zoning;
To provide information to owners and tenants on the purpose of the industrial area as
the number of non-industrial businesses that had established in the industrial area
without approval was thought to have increased; and
To provide useful background data for future planning purposes, including the
development of a new planning scheme for Noosa Shire.
The Noosaville Industrial estate is Noosa’s principle industrial centre and the only industrial
area in the coastal part of the Shire. The Noosa Plan seeks to protect the area for industrial
functions to the exclusion of incompatible uses including residential, community, commercial
business, retail business and most sport and recreation uses. The area provides important
industries and service-related businesses to the whole of Noosa, but particularly the coastal
area of the Shire.
The Noosa Plan defines industrial business as follows:
Industrial business means the conduct of an industrial business activity, where goods or
products are produced, manufactured, dismantled, altered, repacked, repaired or stored at a
scale greater than defined by retail business. Any space dedicated for administration or
accounting work in connection with such operations does not exceed 20% of the use area.
Page 59 of 139
Section 60
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
The establishment of retail or commercial office type business in the Noosaville industrial
area has the potential to reduce the availability of industrial land for industrial uses and
detract from the role of the business centres over time. It is important that sufficient land is
maintained for industrial businesses as uses of an industrial nature generally require larger
floor plates that are generally not able to be accommodated in the business centres. Many
industrial uses are also generally not compatible with other business uses due to their
potential to impact on the users of surrounding premises, and conflicts can arise when
industrial uses are located adjacent other business uses such as commercial business
offices. For example a medical or solicitor’s office requires generally a quiet business
address and their operations are likely to be impacted upon by a mechanic working on
vehicles next door.
Prior to undertaking the survey all owners and local real estate agents were sent a letter
advising of the proposed survey and its purpose. Property owners were reminded that they
are responsible for ensuring that any leases are for uses that are consistent with the
planning scheme. Local real estate agents were sent a similar letter reminding them of their
responsibilities in offering properties for sale or lease. The letters included information on
the purpose of the Noosaville Industrial area and the definition of an industrial business.
Owners and real estate agents were also advised that once the audit was completed any
new businesses established after that time found to be non-compliant, and therefore
unlawful, would face action by Council to remedy the breach of The Noosa Plan.
An officer then undertook a site inspection of each business in the Noosaville Industrial area
to determine whether the business operations constituted an industrial business or was
otherwise defined by The Noosa Plan. As provided to the owners and real estate agents,
similar information was provided to the operators, including the range of planning scheme
definitions for industrial, retail and commercial businesses and zoning details for the area.
From these inspections a register has been developed identifying each business operating in
the Noosaville industrial estate. The register records each business name, the type of
operation currently being conducted, contact details of the operators, and identifies whether
the business has an appropriate development approval or not, date inspected etc.
In the future, it is proposed on a 6 monthly basis to review the Noosaville industrial area and
identify any new non-compliant businesses and request either that they make application for
a development approval or relocate within a reasonable time frame.
The survey showed that of the 632 tenancies in the Noosaville industrial area, there are
currently 89 tenancies (14%) not complying, some of which have been operating in the area
for some time. There were 100 vacant tenancies at the time of the survey. Many of the non-
industrial uses are concentrated in areas along Gateway Drive, Eumundi Noosa Road and
Eenie Creek Road. Some of the non-industrial business uses established such as the
showroom type uses along Eumundi Noosa Road have established there due to the
requirements for larger floor plates, to attract passing trade and are both retail and
warehouse in nature and so are not necessarily suited to the existing business centres.
Other uses, such as along Gateway Drive, appear to be start up type businesses, many of
which may be more suited to this area than the current uses intended by the area’s industrial
zoning given the adjoining residential housing. There are also a limited number of small retail
type businesses which have established in the industrial area, in tenancies with very limited
floor plates. A number of these tenancies given their small floor plate are unlikely to be
suitable for many industrial type businesses.
Page 60 of 139
Section 61
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
This information is likely to be useful in informing land use decisions for the next planning
scheme and until this review is undertaken any further breach action against existing
unlawful businesses established prior to the survey should be put on hold. However, the
industrial area should be regularly monitored to ensure that further businesses (not industrial
in nature) do not establish in the area in breach of The Noosa Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Financial Services to the Planning &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 providing the July 2015 monthly
financial performance report for the 2015/16 financial year.
REPORT
Recurrent Revenue
Council has received 40% ($34.5 million) of its recurrent revenue budget of $87.3 million as
at the end of July 2015, with the majority of income related to the first half-yearly levy of
rates and utility charges. Commentary on each recurrent revenue type is provided below:
Rates and Levies – $30.9m (51%) of the annual budget of $60.5m has been recorded.
Fees and Charges – Fees and charges earned ($0.9m) totals 18% of the full year
budget. There are a number of fee areas that are marginally above budget forecasts,
but being only one month into the financial year it is not prudent to be making any
predictions for revised forecasts.
Interest Received – Generally in accordance with forecast levels.
Dividend and Tax – Dividends and the payment of tax equivalent from Unitywater are
in line with budget forecasts.
Other Revenue – Generally in accordance with budget predictions.
Grants and Subsidies – Overall receipts for operational grants are in accordance with
budgeted levels.

Recurrent Expenditure
Operating expenditure is currently 7% of the full year budget spend. The favourable budget
variance generally relates to accounting adjustments for the end-of-year. Detailed
commentary for significant items appears below.
Employee Costs – Actuals of $1.6m against a YTD budget of $2.1m equates to 6% of
the full year budget. The variances can be attributed to the overlap of the pay period
with 2014/15 financial year.

Section 66
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Materials and Services – 7% of budget ($2.9m) has been expended compared to the
budget of $3.1m. Being only 1 month into the financial year means it is too early to
identify any specific trends in expenditure against budget.
Finance Costs – generally in accordance with budget.
Depreciation expenses are currently running in accordance with budget forecasts.
Other Expenses – currently below budget, but it is too early to identify any potential
budget adjustment.

Capital Revenue and Expenses
Included in these reporting lines are cash contributions from developers ($0.1 million), plus a
minor amount from the sale of plant and equipment (not originally budgeted).
Capital Works Program
Capital expenditure (excluding commitments) is $0.1 million. It is noted that actual
expenditure has been incurred against projects carried forward from the 2014/15 program
and that budgets will only be added once approved by Council. Works scheduling is
currently being finalised and will result in detailed monthly budgets against which future
budget performance can be measured.
Detailed discussion of progress in the delivery of the capital works program is provided
periodically to the Infrastructure and Services Committee.
Cash Management and Investment Performance
Council funds are invested in accordance with the adopted Investment Policy. Total cash on
hand as at 31 July 2015 was $57.7 million. The cash balance includes funding to be carried
forward for capital projects still under construction, plus unspent funds from special rates and
levies.
Council’s investment portfolio is balanced across a number of agencies, as shown in the
graph on the left. The graph on the right shows the current risk profile using industry credit
ratings.

Finance & Risk
Final figures as at 30 June are still to be completed, awaiting information related to the
movement in value for Council’s shareholding in Unitywater. As such, figures shown in the
Statement of Financial Position are interim only. Unexpended grants and uncompleted
capital works will be the subject of a separate report to the General Committee on 24 August
2015 for carryover into 2015/16 and there may be some changes to the budgeted operating
result as a consequence.
Draft financial statements will be presented to the Audit Committee in late August prior to

Organisation Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 and note the Economic Profile
prepared by AEC Group Ltd.
REPORT
1. Background
There are a number of government agencies that provide a range of economic data and
statistics however base information can be obtained from a variety of sources and differing
methodologies applied. Additionally in many instances information is only published at a
higher level and needs to be filtered to a lower level to be applicable or relevant. Therefore
specialist skills are needed to apply a robust framework and methodology when constructing
economic data and subsequently, the AEC Group was engaged to provide an economic
profile for the Noosa Shire region.
The Economic Profile (refer Attachment 1) will be used to inform the development of Council
policy and plans and to monitor economic activity overtime. It will also be made available to
the public to, among other things, inform and assist in decision making within business and
industry.
2. Key Points
The Noosa Economy is strong and growing. It reflects many national trends such as an
ageing population and growth in the health care and social services, and professional,
scientific and technical services.
Page 73 of 139
Section 74
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
However the Noosa economy is reliant on tourism and population driven industry sectors,
and could benefit from a more diversified economic base that is geared more towards
smart/knowledge based industry sectors.
The Noosa economy is geared towards tourism and population driven industry sectors.
Forecast population growth is expected to average 0.7% per annum reaching a
population of approximately 62,000 people by 2036.
Noosa’s population is ageing, and a little faster than most. In 2011 the average age
was 46 years compared to 36years for Queensland and 38 years for the SEQ region.
Accommodation and foods services, retail and construction are among our top 5
employment sectors which also include healthcare and social assistance and
education and training.
Top 5 employment sectors make up over 60% of total jobs but only deliver 38% of
value to the economy (GRP).
Gross Regional Product in 2013-2014 was just under $2.6 Billion, growing at an
average rate of 2.5% over the previous 5 years.
Noosa’s three main industries by contribution to gross regional product are
construction, health care & social assistance and retail.
Unemployment is at 7.3% just under 1% above Queensland with approximately 1,970
people looking for work.
Approximately 7,400 businesses operate from Noosa.
89.6% of Noosa businesses employ less than five people compared to 88.2% of SEQ
region businesses and 87.5% of Queensland businesses.
Significant occupations of employment in Noosa are professionals at 18.5% of all
employment, technicians and trades at 15.5% of all employment and managers at
15.5% of all employment.
3. Tables and Graphs
The following tables and graphs provide an overview of the key economic indicators for
Noosa.
3.1 Population
The Noosa economy is not dissimilar to other lifestyle destinations in that the economy is
geared towards population driven industry sectors.
The Noosa economy experienced particularly high levels of population growth in the period
between 1981 and 1996, ranging between 16.5% and 5.1%. This, Noosa’s high tourism
profile and people’s ability and desire to live in destinations like Noosa that offer such an
enviable lifestyle, have been key economic drivers.
While population growth began to slow in the early 2000’s, Noosa’s reputation as a world
class tourism destination continued to grow strongly, deepening our economic reliance on
tourism, hospitality and retail as key employing industry sectors.
Since 2004 population growth in Noosa Shire averaged 1.2% per annum compared to 2.2%
for SEQ region and 2.1% for Queensland, however forecast population growth is expected to
average only 0.7% per annum in Noosa Shire reaching a population of approximately 62,000
by 2036.

On trend with the rest of Australia, Noosa’s population is ageing, albeit faster than many
locations. In 2011, the median age for the shire was 46 years compared to 38 and 36 years
in the SEQ region and Queensland respectively. Residents aged 45 years and over
accounted for 39.3% of the population in 1991 and 50.9% at the 2011 census.
While the aging population going forward implies a smaller workforce will produce less in
economic terms, it also indicates there will be demand for a range of goods and services
specific to an older demographic.

3.2 Employment
Employment trends in Noosa reflect our ageing population, national trends in health care,
and a strong tourism sector. Increased employment in professional, scientific and technical
services signals growth in ‘smart’ - high value industry sectors. This is also a national trend
that could be exploited.
Three of the top five employment sectors in Noosa are primarily geared towards population
and tourism driven industry sectors. These five sectors provide 60% of all local jobs:
Retail trade employs 16% of the total workforce, which is 50% higher than the
Australian average.
Accommodation and foods services employ 14% of the total workforce which is double
the Australian average.
Health care and social assistance employs 12% of the total workforce.
Education and training employs 9% of the total workforce, and
Construction employs 8% of the total workforce.

employed Noosa residents. This was followed by technicians and trades 15.5%, managers
13.7% and sales workers 12.4%.
3.3 Tourism
Noosa has a world class tourism sector and notable brand awareness and equity. The
tourism sector is strong and active and as a result experienced strong increases in visitation
during 2012 and 2013 (15% year on year). In the year ending September 2014 the sector
injected $600 million into the local economy, and visitation grew in the higher yield
international and overnight markets while the lower yielding day trip visitor market saw
numbers drop considerably (27%).

3.4 Gross Regional Product
Noosa Shire produced just under $2.6 billion in gross regional product (GRP) in 2013-14;
this was up an impressive 5.6% on the previous year, compared to 1.8% and 2.3%
increases for SEQ Region and the State respectively. GRP averaged a creditable 2.5% per
annum growth over the last five years compared to 2.2% for SEQ Region and 2.1% for
Queensland as a whole. Industry sector contribution to the economy in terms of industry
value add to gross regional product, again clearly reflects the structure of the economy with
health care, retail and construction being the fastest growing sectors.
Electricity, gas, water and waste services generated the highest GRP per employee at
$429,461 per employee, followed by financial and insurance services at $291,199 per
employee, and rental, hiring and real estate services ($151,638 per employee).
Conversely the major Noosa Shire industries of retail trade and accommodation and food
services generate lower GRP per employee $54,806 and $42,788 per employee
respectively.

Noosa Shire reported a median household income almost $200 below the SEQ Region and
almost $300 below the State in 2011 ($953.5, $1,150.7 and $1,235.0 per week respectively).
This could be partly attributed to the high proportion of part-time work in the region. Part time
work accounts for around 35%-40% of total employment within the broader Sunshine Coast
Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4), compared to around 25%-30% in other benchmark regions.
(See full report at Attachment 1).

businesses and 27.5% are also micro but employ between 1-4 people. At the other end of
the scale .01% employ 200 plus people. By turnover, 26.4% of businesses sit between $0
and $50,000 with 13.1% turning over between $500,000 and $2 million.
Noosa is also home to a range of very successful entrepreneurs and business people with
expertise across multiple industry sectors. Many of these same people are active within the
community and business organisations such as Tourism Noosa, Noosa Biosphere
Foundation Ltd, Noosa Community Biosphere Association Inc, The Chamber of Commerce
and Industry Queensland – Noosa Business Mentors and the Project Focus Group
established to contribute the development of this Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 18 August 2015 providing an update on progress with the
implementation of the Operational Plan to 30 June 2015 and details of Council’s Key
Performance Indicators.
REPORT
This report is in two parts. The first part provides Council with an overview of progress in
implementing the annual Operational Plan. The second part focuses on the KPIs which are
reported to Council on a quarterly basis.
This report relates to the final quarter of the 2014/15 financial year but can be read in
conjunction with the CEO’s report on the 2014/15 year in review.
1. OPERATIONAL PLAN UPDATE
At previous Council Committee meetings, Councillors indicated that they did not wish to
have the entire Operational Plan attached to these quarterly progress reports but rather, to
receive a general overview of progress which also highlights key projects. This report
extracts some of the key issues in the Operational Plan and updates Councillors on progress
for the fourth quarter.
A hard copy of the full Operational Plan update has been provided in the Councillors’ Room
if any further detail is required. Councillors have also been provided with copies of briefing
notes used by the Leadership Team to monitor progress with signature projects.
Details of a number of significant or high profile Operational Plan projects and their status
(by Department) is set out below. For each Department, 3 or 4 key projects have been
identified from the Operational Plan.

2. KPIS
The key issues arising from an assessment of the KPIs for the fourth quarter are as follows:
Page 87 of 139
Section 88
PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
Our People
In relation to WH&S, while the number of incident free days remains at or just below
the benchmark during this period, the average duration of time lost due to injury is very
high compared to other like Councils. This is probably reflective of an older workforce
where injuries can sometimes take longer to recover. Our WH&S practices, policies
and procedures are still a work in progress. We intend to shortly seek another
independent review of our WH&S performance.
Our WH&S scheme rate is lower than other Councils in category D (similar Councils to
Noosa Council). The best performing Council in that category has a scheme rate of
0.905% while the worst is 2.083%. Our scheme rate was 1.242%.
Sick leave taken is continued to be monitored closely and has shown significant
improvement since this time last year. It is more than 50% lower than 12 months ago.
April was the lowest level of sick leave since our re-establishment but May and June
were a little higher as historically, sick leave is higher in winter months.
Excess annual leave weeks accumulated continue to be at high levels. While there has
been a slight decline in the number of staff with over 8 weeks annual leave since
Christmas, it has not been as significant as hoped. It is lower than 12 months ago but
still too many staff have more than 8 weeks of annual leave owing.
Our Systems and Processes
We monitor the organisation’s ability to implement the projects approved by the
Council in the Operational Plan. The key operational plan projects have been
highlighted in Part 1 of this report and a full copy of the Operational Plan report is
available in the Councillors’ Room.
We have a focus on improving our systems to allow more online transactions to enable
our community to have 24/7 access to services for which the KPI shows an increasing
trend in online requests. However, as a percentage of total requests, it is still quite
low. Recently, the Leadership Team spent some time focusing on how we can make
online service requests more customer friendly, thus encouraging more usage. Online
payments tend to spike during rate periods, dog registration renewals etc.
ICT system uptime remains strong.
Our Finances
Our financial KPIs measure solvency, investment performance and outstanding rates.
All of these KPIs continue to be on track.
Council receives a financial performance report at the end of each month which
provides a more detailed analysis of Council’s financial position.
Our Customers
The total number of customer requests received by Council remains on a slight upward
trend in the long term but fewer customer requests were recorded in the last 3 month
period – approximately 1,250 per month. The number of requests is expected to
increase again in the next 3 month period as we enter a rates period, annual dog
registration and our kerbside waste collection.
Conversely, the level of sign off of completed CRMs (customer request management
system) is still historically low. Both the Director Planning and Infrastructure and
Director Community Services have reported to Council recently about actions to
improve the timing of responses to CRMs particularly in relation to dogs, waste bins,
road/traffic issues and trees. More work is being done at the management level in
“drilling down” within the overall statistics.

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 18 AUGUST 2015
The average wait time for our customers when phoning Council continues to improve
over time, however there continues to be some months where the target of an average
of 1 minute is exceeded. The month of June saw our best phone performance since
we began keeping statistics.
Customer indicators for processing times for various types of development applications
have remained constant over the 3 month period with MCUs being the type of
application which generally has the lowest percentage of completion times.
The KPIs for building information requests and plumbing application processing times
performed extremely well during the 4th quarter.
As part of continuous improvement, work has been done on refining our management and
Council KPIs to more provide more valuable data. KPIs will continue to be reported to
Council on a quarterly basis and are also analysed by the Leadership Team on a monthly
basis. To provide continuity, the attached KPIs are the same as have been reported during
the 2014/15 financial year. The refined KPIs will commence from 1 July 2015.
