GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                     15 OCTOBER 2018


                     works programme identifying key components of the works and their
                     respective durations
                     establishment of a communication protocol with the general public,
                     adjoining owners, emergency services and local businesses to advise of
                     agreed construction times, impacts on traffic, services and other relevant
                     issues
                     identification of complaint management procedures including:
                     i.    contact details for the on-site manager
                     ii.   dispute resolution procedures
                     details on the location of external fill/dump sites, the haulage route, type of
                     vehicle to be utilised during filling operations and frequency of usage. NB
                     any damage to the existing road system as a result of haulage operations
                     shall be fully repaired at the applicant’s expense
                     it is acknowledged that the preliminary Construction Management Plan will
                     be a draft document requiring finalisation upon appointment of the Principal
                     Contractor employed to construct the works and a final document will be
                     required to be submitted at the Pre-Start Meeting for the project.
               Damage to Services and Assets
         56.   Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the
               development works must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the
               following times:
                     where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety,
                     immediately; or
                     where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the
                     development.
         57.   Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services
               and assets must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval
    B.   Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
         the Planning Scheme:
         1.    There is a significant need for aged care facilities within the Noosa region and
               the proposal will in part satisfy this need.
         2.    The use is compatible with surrounding residential uses and will not significantly
               impact on the amenity of the area. Further conditions are proposed to mitigate
               and address any potential amenity impacts.
         3.    The proposal being low rise and articulated with a variety of external finishes will
               sit reasonably well within the streetscape without being overly dominant.
         4.    The proposal provides extensive landscaping to the Val Crescent frontage to
               screen the development from the street.
         5.    There are limited opportunities of appropriately zoned land for the development
               of aged care facilities and overall the proposal is a good response for this site,
               considering the Noosa Hospital opposite and Goodchap Street medical centre
               nearby.
