GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                              15 MARCH 2021


            7.    The proposed development fails to meet Overall Outcomes 13.7.2 a), b),
                  c), d) (i), (ii), (iii) and (v), e) and g) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O4, O5,
                  O6, O8, O9, O10, O14, O15, O18 and O19 of the Biodiversity Overlay Code
                  as the proposal will result in the removal of significant vegetation and
                  intrude into the site’s riparian buffer.
            8.    The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.157.2 a) an b) of
                  the Water Sensitive Design Code as the development:
                  i.    is not designed and could not be constructed in a manner that does
                        not impede, long term attainment of relevant Environmental Values
                        and Water Quality Objectives as specified in the Environmental
                        Protection Policy 2009;
                  ii.   proposes infrastructure within the riparian zone and an extent of cut
                        and fill that is likely to create adverse impacts on downstream
                        ecosystems, properties and infrastructure due to changes to
                        stormwater flow, water quality or ecosystem health.
            9.    The application proposes development within the Water Supply Catchment
                  which may result in adverse effects on the quality of water entering Lake
                  Macdonald contrary to Specific Outcome O11 of the Natural Hazards and
                  Natural Resources Overlay Code.
            10.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and
                  Specific Outcome O7 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code as:
                  i.    Sufficient visitor parking is not provided and appropriately located for
                        visitors of the Retirement and Special Needs use; and
                  ii.   Sufficient parking is not provided for the golf club house.
            11.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and
                  Specific Outcome O8 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code and Specific
                  Outcome O7 and O36 of the Residential Uses Code as internal driveways
                  are too narrow to satisfactorily accommodate internal traffic movements.
            12.   The proposed built form and landscaping is not consistent with the
                  preferred character within Cooroy and will result in an appearance of
                  excessive bulk, limited landscaping and continual roof form.
            13.   Noosa Plan 2020 has identified that it can meet the requirements for
                  residential accommodation until 2041 within the current Urban Growth
                  Boundary. The application has failed to demonstrate a significant planning
                  need to develop outside of these boundaries, nor any overriding community
                  benefit which would justify approving the development despite its conflict
                  with the Planning Scheme and relevant State Planning Policies.
            14.   In preparing the Noosa Plan 2020 and in reviewing submissions pertaining
                  to this property Council considered the development potential and
                  suitability of this site and it was considered that despite its inclusion within
                  the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan, commitment of the land for
                  urban purposes was neither necessary nor appropriate.
            15.   The proposal is not consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020
                  which seek that the land is developed for rural residential purposes.
            16.   The proposal does not comply with the overall outcomes sought by the
                  Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code in Noosa Plan 2020
                  as the development:
                  i.    is not designed, sited, nor could it be constructed in a way that avoids
                        adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, ecological systems

                                                                                  Page 19 of 24
