        I have recently received a deputation from a number of constituents regarding a
        Development Application in Tablelands Road, Cooran.

        My constituents have raised concerns in relation to this Development
        Application (MCU12/0012) for a Home Based Business Type 3 Quad Park
        lodged by a Charles Marais.

        Documentation obtained from your website (A guide for small and home-based
        business) indicates that a ’home-based business’ is ’any business that is
        operated by the residents of a residential or rural property.        It is generally quiet,
        clean and does not create increased traffic flow’. Your document also advises
        ’the business activity must not impact on the community, neighbours and the
        general amenity of the area by excessive noise, dust or smoke, signage,
        problems with property access to traffic etc.’

        Reference is also made where ’home-based businesses                 encouraged
                                                                                are

        throughout the regionprovided     they do notimpact     neighbours, the local
                                                                  on

        community and the enjoyment of the area e,g. amenity’ and ’It is generally quiet,
        clean and does not create increased traffic flow’.


        I would appreciate being advised if this application meets all of the Sunshine
        Coast Regional Council requirements for a Home Base Business Type 3?
