      The Proposed development does not in any way conform to the written advice,
       cited below, from the Council to the developer prior to the pre‐lodgment
       meeting held on 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):

       The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to protect
       and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs reflective of the site’s
       previous use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges that a range of visitor
       accommodation may be provided where integrated with budget accommodation.
       There is no support given to permanent residents on the site.

       It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation, with no
       permanent resident accommodation proposed. This approved development was
       supported by Council through an appeal process as it was acknowledged that it
       included low to mid cost visitor accommodation being a reasonable alternative to
       the Planning Scheme’s intent to retain the caravan park.

       It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s intent
       for the site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor accommodation
       proposed…….

      The Noosa Council has correctly performed, as reflected in the cited
       correspondence above, its role as custodian of what was formerly publicly
       (ratepayer) owned land by informing the developer that the DA proposal does
       not comply with the requirements requested by the Council in regard to
       provision of low cost, non‐permanent accommodation. For Noosa Council to
       now allow the development application would be a failure of its duty to the
       Noosa ratepayers.

      There are no grounds provided that are sufficient to overcome the level of
       conflict identified with the Noosa Plan.

The proposed development application should be refused for the above reasons.
