               SPECIAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                      5 JUNE 2019


                      The proposed changes not constituting a minor change
               The change application was withdrawn on 23 May 2019.
               In the case of the most recent developments within the village, Council has given discretion in
               relation to carparking, landscape open space and minimum front boundary setbacks.
               Furthermore it is noted that Section 6.2.3 of the Superseded Planning Scheme allowed Council
               the discretion to grant floor space bonuses for developments that provide improved public
               amenities. In this respect the Superseded Planning Scheme permitted up to 4m² of additional
               floor space for every 1m² of public amenities. Recent development approval examples are
               provided below.

                   Other Mixed Use Redevelopments within the Peregian Beach village
                   8 Kingfisher Drive This site is 2 doors to the south and is the same size and shape of the
                   (06/0219)          subject site. The approval, issued in 2006, was for the development of
                                      a 2 storey building on an existing vacant site, with 2 restaurants & 1
                                      shop at ground level and 3 office tenancies on the upper level. The plot
                                      ratio of the development was 1.13:1. It is noted that 22.6m2 was
                                      provided for public facilities and a public walkway through the site.
                                      Although this development was constructed within 2 years of the
                                      approval, an appeal carried on until the 17 November 2008, which
                                      centred around the amount of contributions payable in lieu of provision
                                      carparking on the site. The appeal was eventually settled with the
                                      contribution conditions amended.
                   216 David Low Way In 2006, Council approved a two storey mixed use development
                   (06/0215)         including shop & office on the ground floor, and an office & caretaker’s
                                     residence on the upper level, made under the Superseded Planning
                                     Scheme. A number of built form relaxations were given, with the report
                                     noting that the development is consistent with most of Peregian village.
                                     Council approved a number of extensions to the permit, which
                                     extended the lapsing period. As part of the requests to extend the
                                     approval, it was noted that although the development was approved
                                     under the Superseded Scheme, which included density bonuses, the
                                     following grounds were considered to justify a plot ratio of 1.4:1,
                                     exceeding the 0.8:1 requirement of The Noosa Plan:
                                      60m2 of public facilities/public access way were provided
                                      Almost all existing development in Peregian village have full site
                                          coverage;
                                      Approximately a third of the existing developments in the village
                                          are 2 storey;
                                      The GFA of most developments in the village exceeds the 80% plot
                                          ratio requirement; and
                                      The proposed design is considered to be of high quality and the
                                          inclusion of the public toilets and thoroughfare will be of benefit to
                                          the village overall.
