Town Planning Report - Boutique Hotel Development Noosa Springs - June 2021.pdf

“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



                 accessibility to Hastings Street, Main Beach, and the many restaurants and shops in the
                 locality and is about a 30 minute drive from the Sunshine Coast Airport;
             •   the existing Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort facilities are located within the Tourist
                 Accommodation Zone and integral to the Resort Complex, and it is not possible for the
                 entire “Boutique Hotel” to be provided in the same location;
             •   it is necessary for part of the proposed “Boutique Hotel” to extend into the Recreation and
                 Open Space Zone, with the visitor accommodation to be integrated with the existing
                 Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort facilities, including the 18 hole championship golf
                 course, which is highly desirable;
             •   the proposed development will not result in any unacceptable impacts upon the amenity
                 of the area or environmental values, including visual, landscape or scenic amenity;
             •   an environmental offset is to be provided for the loss of Non Juvenile Koala Habitat Trees
                 (NJKHTs) within the isolated pocket of remanent vegetation to the north which will result
                 in a net gain of koala habitat in a more desirable location;
             •   there is limited land available within the urban area of Noosa Heads that could
                 accommodate the proposed “Boutique Hotel”, and no land that has the attributes offered
                 by the subject land which contains the existing Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort facilities
                 and infrastructure;
             •   there is a strong economic, community and planning need for the proposed development
                 in this location with the subject land being specifically identified for visitor accommodation
                 as a Resort Complex under the planning scheme; and
             •   while part of the “Boutique Hotel” is located outside the Urban Boundary, there is a high
                 level of community need to luxury visitor accommodation to be provided within the Noosa
                 Heads Locality.
