Decision Notice - Refusal - 010.2007.00001259.001 [As Published] · 132007.1259

                                                                                      2007/1259

3.    The proposed development has the potential to cause significant detriment to the Noosa
      National Park, with the stormwater management plan for the site inadequately demonstrating
      that:
      (a)    Runoff from the site which discharges into the National Park will be appropriately treated
             to ensure that the downstream ecosystem will not be adversely affected; and
      (b)    Adequate runoff treatment can be achieved in the development footprint and some
             modification to the layout may be required to achieve required treatment areas;
4.    Any necessary roadworks and/or road dedications that could assist in offsetting the adverse
      traffic impacts of the proposed development would significantly impact on the development
      proposal and could not be easily accommodated in the current proposal;
5.    There are significant deficiencies in the proposed layout within the development site, which
      would lead to unacceptable safety and operational problems, with regard to vehicle and
      pedestrian conflicts;
6.    The proposal is contrary to the Specific and Overall Outcomes of the Eastern Beaches Locality
      Code to protect and retain the caravan park for low cost visitor accommodation needs and
      integrate Visitor Accommodation Type 4 development with a caravan park. The proposed
      development does not ensure low cost accommodation is retained as found in a caravan park;
7.    The proposal is contrary to the Specific and Overall Outcomes of the Eastern Beaches Locality
      Code for professional offices on the western side of David Low Way, which present a domestic
      scale and form of architecture. The proposal includes restaurants and shops of a commercial
      scale and dominant form, which is not in keeping with the nearby development;
8.    The proposed development is contrary to the Specific and Overall Outcomes of the Eastern
      Beaches Locality Code for the scale and form of buildings to be low rise, of a compatible scale
      and bulk, and sited to maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape
      elements. The development is excessive in terms of its density, height and building bulk, lacks
      soft landscaping and fails to maintain the visual continuity and pattern within the street;
9.    The proposed development is contrary to Specific Outcomes (O3 & O4) and Overall Outcomes
      of the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code as the development will adversely impact on traffic
      operations and traffic safety on the David Low Way;
10.   The proposed development is contrary to the Specific Outcomes (O9, O10 and O11) and
      Overall Outcomes of the Driveways and Car Parking Code to provide adequate manoeuvring
      areas for service vehicles and ensure car park designs do not conflict with pedestrians;
11.   The proposed development is contrary to Specific Outcome O6 of the Water Sensitive Design
      Code to ensure run-off that leaves the site is treated so as to not adversely impact on the
      ecology and hydrology of downstream environmental flows;
12.   The proposed development is contrary the Desired Environmental Outcomes for residential
      uses to be developed consistent with the expected character and amenity for the particular
      locality, with the development not respective of its setting, neighbouring development and site’s
      natural features;
13.   The proposed development is contrary to the Desired Environmental Outcomes for a tourism
      industry to be developed and sustained which offers a range of accommodation types, as the
      proposed development does not ensure low cost accommodation is retained as found in a
      caravan park;
14.   The application relies on inadequate or irrelevant planning grounds to justify its departure from
      the provisions of The Noosa Plan; and
