ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                  16 OCTOBER 2025


            Care Service, Hospital and Hospital (Infusion Centre) and Development Permit for
            Reconfiguring a Lot, situated at 36-40 Hofmann Drive Noosaville and:
                     A. Approve the change to the approved uses so that the approved uses
                        are now Health Care Service, Hospital and Hospital (Infusion Centre)
                     B. Amend Conditions 2, 3, 17, 25
                     C. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the
                        Planning Act 2016.
                     D. Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient
                        reason to approve the application:
                         I. The proposed extension is located internal to the building and
                              will not impact on the existing streetscape.
                         II. The proposed hospital use more accurately reflects the nature
                              of services provided on-site, which include specialised cancer
                              treatment, dedicated treatment areas, and inpatient
                              accommodation. These functions are more consistent with a
                              hospital use than a general medical centre.
                         III. The proposed carparking provision and information has been
                              peer reviewed. The peer review supports the recommendation
                              the carparking provisions based on the predominant use of the
                              site being for hospital purposes as described by the applicant.


11.2.3.     MCU25/0006 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF
            USE - SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION (BACKPACKERS
            ACCOMMODATION) AT 17 RUSSELL ST, NOOSAVILLE

            That Council note the report by the Senior Development Planner to the Planning
            & Environment Committee Meeting dated 7 October 2025 regarding Application
            MCU25/0006 for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Short-term
            accommodation (backpackers accommodation), situated at and 1-3/17 Russell
            Street Noosaville and:
                     A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
                     1. The proposed development is an overdevelopment of the site and is
                        not consistent with Overall Outcomes 6.3.3.2 (2) (a) (c) (d) (e) (f) (h)
                        (j) (n) and (p) and performance outcomes and acceptable outcomes
                        PO6, PO7, PO8, PO9, PO15, AO9.1(c) and AO15.2 and AO15.3 of
                        the High Density Residential Zone Code as;
                         a. The scale of the development is not consistent with structures
                              on adjoining or nearby land and is likely to dominate and
                              adversely impact the surrounding residential amenity.
                         b. The proposed development will result in a site cover which
                              significantly exceeds the site cover requirements of the planning
                              scheme providing a building that is not consistent with the street
                              and surrounding area.
                         c. The proposed development does not satisfactorily incorporate
                              design elements and materials reflective of the local streetscape
                              character of the area, with the building not designed in the
                              Noosa sub-tropical style.
                         d. The proposal will result in a plot ratio which significantly exceeds
                              the plot ratio requirements of the planning scheme and is of a
                              size that is not compatible with surrounding development.
                         e. The proposal rear setback of the third floor and rooftop terrace
                              significantly encroaches into the rear setback as required by the
