    Taylor Court, Cooroy for the following reasonsand:
    1.   The development raises conflicts with The Noosa Plan and its current and future land
         use intent for the subject site and water supply catchment area.
    2.   The proposal is not conveniently located or readily accessible for the local community
         and will not provide a significant benefit to that community.
    3.   The development will adversely impact on the local villages and towns by reducing
         patronage to these centres and therefore will not improve community wellbeing.
    4.   The proposal is contrary to the SEQ Regional Plan’s Regional Policy 11.5.1 to identify
         and protect existing and potential drinking water catchments from inappropriate land
         use as the development would pose an unacceptable risk to water quality.
    5.   The proposal is contrary to the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy for Mary River
         Environmental Values and Water Quality Objectives as the proposed surface water
         quality exceeds these objectives in relation to Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous
         and the applicant has not addressed the impact the in-ground storage of fuel will have
         on ground water.
    6.   The proposal fails to meet the Plan of Development for the site, including the provision
         of a 10 metre landscape buffer to visually screen the development from the Bruce
         Highway.
    7.   The proposed illumination of the advertising devices is contrary to the Advertising
         Devices Code and the intent of the Plan of Development for the site.
