EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is seeking retrospective approval for an extension to Unit 6 to increase the site cover
and gross floor area of that previously approved. The changes result in an additional 15m 2 of gross
floor area and additional site cover of 12m2 across the site.
The application has been recommended for refusal due to non-compliance with the Noosa Plan
requirements for building bulk with the existing building already exceeding the scale of surrounding
buildings.
During discussions at the General Committee Meeting, Councillors considered that there may be
grounds to support the proposal with a further report requested to provide conditions for approval.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 9 November 2021 and the Further Report to the Ordinary Meeting dated 18 November
2021 regarding Application No. 51997.2283.03 to make a minor change to an existing approval for
Multiple Dwellings at 6/80-86 Hilton Terrace Noosaville and:
A.   Refuse the change for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 2 (c), Performance outcomes PO9,
           PO 10 & PO11 of the Medium Density Zone code in Noosa Plan 2020 and will result in:
           a.    Increased bulk and scale for a development that already exceeds the scale of other
                 development in the area;
           b.    A decrease of private open space for Unit 6, and
           c.    A reduction in the extent of landscape area provided for the site.
     2.    The proposal is contrary to the Overall and Performance Outcomes of the Dual
           Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code in Noosa Plan 2020 as:
           d.    The existing building is of a bulk and scale that is not consistent with the character
                 existing and sought for the area and the proposed changes will contribute
                 additional bulk and scale; and
           e.    The proposed changes will reduce the private open space of Unit 6 and the extent
                 of landscape area on site.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

REPORT
A report on this application was considered by the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting
on 9 November 2021 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee Meeting on 15
