COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL


That Council
A. Note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting
   dated 11 November 2025 regarding MCU23/0090.02 and DBW23/0073.02, to make a minor
   change to an existing approval for a Material Change of Use (extension to existing hotel) and
   Development Permit for Building Work (Demolition) situated at 118 Poinciana Ave Tewantin Qld.
B. Approve the application in accordance with amendments to conditions 3, 22, 23, 26 and 27 and
   outlined in Attachment 1 to the Report. Attachment 1 to the Minutes of the General Committee
   Meeting dated 17/11/2025 - MCU23/0090.02 & DBW23/0073.02 Amended Conditions - as
   provided by the Development Assessment Manager.
C. That Condition 52 be amended to read:
   52. The gaming area be limited to 260m2 in accordance with the approved plans and include an
   Advisory Note which states: "Noosa Council is committed to minimising the social impacts of
   gaming within the community and therefore does not support any increase in the number of
   gaming machines in the Noosa Shire.";
D. Update the Reference documents to include the Royal Mail Hotel Tewantin: Noise Impact
   Assessment report prepared by Assured Environmental and dated 23.09.2025 Release R, Ver
   R2.
E. Refuse to delete conditions 28 and 42(f) for the following reasons:
         a. Condition 28 is required to provide a quantifiable noise level of non-amplified
            entertainment in the northern beer garden.
         b. Condition 42(f). The proposed End of Trip Facilities are required to encourage users of
             the site including employees to access the site by alternative transport modes. The
             absence of EOT facilities in the existing hotel does not justify non-compliance in the
             proposed expansion. Staff may work across varied shifts, and facilities such as a shower
             and secure locker may improve staff ability to utilise alternative transport.
F. That Condition 4 (b) be added to read:
   (b) The playground must display clear, durable, and weather-resistant signage at all entry points
   and within the play area that includes:
         1. Age-appropriate usage guidelines (e.g., “For children aged 2–12 years”).
         2. Supervision requirements (e.g., “Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at
   all times”).
