PM Submission Object - Darren Tindale - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                         The other thing to mention here is the Planning and Environment Court
                         sanctioned approval of 12 February 2010 of the now lapsed DA referred to
                         above. At item 3 it stated:
                              The units shall operate in accordance with the defined use of ‘Visitor
                              accommodation – Type 4 Conventional’ in the Noosa Plan, which provides
                              for short term visitor accommodation. The units shall not be used for the
                              purpose of permanent residential accommodation, with the exception of two
                              manager/caretaker’s units. The Community Management Statement for any
                              or all Bodies Corporate having control of the development, or any part
                              thereof, shall incorporate this requirement.”
                         The DA is totally in conflict with this approval as can be seen below:

                         The proposal:
                         Multiple Housing of 3 types – 88 Beds (or Persons)
                         They are all proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                             The Kamala & Marram Houses (in the centre of the ring road) There are
                             9 of these with 3 bedrooms. (27 persons). Carparking is 9x2. Estimated
                             price $825K
                             The Wallum Units (along Rufous Lane). There are 7 of these with 3
                             bedrooms. (21 persons). Carparking is 5x3 and 2x2. Estimated price
                             $725-800K
                             Reed Beach Houses (behind the Hotel) – There are 10 of these with 4
                             bedrooms upstairs and living down. (40 persons). Carparking is 10x3.
                             These units will be approximately 6m below the Hotel level. Estimated
                             price $850K.

                         Essence Hotel/(Motel) & Conference Centre – 40 beds
                               The developer proposes to develop and run the hotel with 20 visitor
                               accommodation rooms and 12 apartments (4 x 1 bedroom and 8 x 2
                               bedroom) which are described as “multiple and visitor”. (40 persons).
                               The 12 apartments are proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                               The Hotel will apparently employ 15 people (full-time and part-time)
                               including conference facilitators. The Conference room is small and
                               apparently will seat 40. 40 Car parks are proposed with all bar 3 (Visitor
                               parking?) under the Hotel and behind a security gate.
                         3. Lack of compliance with the Noosa Plan
                         PBCAI’s Objection to the DA is firstly based on its lack of compliance with the
                         Noosa Plan Open Space Recreation zone requirements. PBCAI specifically seeks
                         to protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation reflective of
                         the site’s previous use as a caravan park.

                         The Noosa Plan resulted from a community consultation process and was
                         subsequently approved by the State Government. It should not lightly be
                         ignored by a developer being granted an approval which significantly conflicts
                         with the Plan.
