RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Special Meeting dated 28
October 2019 and the further report to the General Committee Meeting dated 17 February 2020
regarding Application No. RAL18/0023 for a Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot – (1 Lot
in 23 Lots) situated at 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville and:
A.                       Refuse the application for the following reasons:
                         1.   The proposal is contrary to schedule 11, part 2, section 7 of the Planning Regulation
                              2017 as the development is situated in a koala assessable development area and
                              does not avoid clearing non-juvenile koala habitat trees in circumstances in which
                              any significant residual impact of the clearing is unable to be offset.
                         2.   The proposal is contrary to the State Planning Policy as the proposed development
                              will adversely impact on koala habitat, with koala populations recognised as being
                              matters of both national and state environmental significance.
                         3.   The proposal is contrary to the State Planning Policy as the proposed development
                              does not facilitate an appropriate disaster management response and recovery
                              capacity and capabilities as the emergency access points are unable to be
                              implemented.
                         4.   The proposed development is contrary to the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
                              Noosaville Locality Code as:
                              i.     The proposal does not provide a satisfactory pedestrian and cycle network for
                                     the future development of the area and fails to provide satisfactory linkages with
                                     the existing development in the Shire Business Centre as these are unable to
                                     be implemented.
                              ii.    The proposal fails to ensure a high level of residential amenity as it does not
                                     provide for acoustic fencing to lots 17, 18 and 19 or provide any noise
                                     mitigation measures to existing plant equipment and loading dock areas. The
                                     proposal also fails to address the future amenity of Lot 21.
                              iii.   The proposal fails to provide for suitable retention of existing vegetation to allow
                                     for future development to be within a park like setting.
                              iv.    The proposal will adversely impact on the site’s environmental values.
