    That Council note the report by the Contract Planner to the Planning & Environment Committee
    Meeting dated 11 June 2019 and the Further Report to the General Committee Meeting dated
    16 March 2020 regarding Application No. MCU18/0015 for a Development Permit for Material
    Change of Use (2 Detached Houses and Multiple Housing – type 4 Conventional – 12 Units)
    and Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 4 lots plus Access Easement) situated at 27 Attunga Heights,
    Noosa Heads and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.     The proposed development is contrary to the Noosa Plan’s Strategic Framework
                and the Desired Environmental Outcomes as
                (i)     The proposal does not satisfactorily protect the site’s significant environment
                        values.
                (ii)    The proposal does not maintain a satisfactory wildlife corridor through the
                        site and intrudes into the riparian buffer to the site’s watercourse.
         2.     The proposed development is contrary to the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
                Noosa Heads Locality Code as
                (i)     The proposed uses are inconsistent with and therefore strongly inappropriate
                        in the Open Space Conservation Zone.
                (ii)    The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the proposed development
                        footprint is commensurate with the site’s constraints and values.
                (iii)   The proposal will adversely impact on the sites and the adjoining road
                        reserve’s scenic and environmental values.
                (iv)    The proposed built form will adversely impact on the visual amenity of nearby
                        properties in Attunga Heights.
                (v)     The proposed development does not respect the scale and character of the
                        surrounding development.
         3.     The proposed development is contrary to the Specific Outcomes of the Noosa
                Heads Locality Code for population density, gross floor area, site cover, building
                height and setbacks.
         4.     The proposed development is contrary to the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the
                proposal does not satisfactorily manage, minimise or mitigate its impacts on the
                site’s ecologically important areas, ecological linkages for the koala population and
                the site’s watercourse with the development resulting in excessive clearing of
                protected vegetation.
         5.     The proposed subdivision is contrary to the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
                (i)     The proposed lots and lot boundaries fragment the site’s wildlife corridor and
                        the riparian buffer to the site’s watercourse.
                (ii)    The proposal is to subdivide land in the Open Space Conservation zone.
                (ii)    The applicant has not demonstrated appropriate access for Lot 3 for
                        construction purposes is available or achievable.
