            Were a development application to be re-made as at today’s date, a proposal for multiple


            dwelling units and accommodation units would:


            (a) Not alter the level of assessment relevant to the application        -
                                                                                         the application was

                  originally impact assessable and would remain impact assessable were it required to

                  be re-submitted;



             (b) Not change the amount of infrastructure charges payable for the development as an

                  existing condition of the approval requires infrastructure charges to be charged at the

                  rates applicable at the time of payment. To deliver further certainty       regarding this

                  legislative requirement the applicant is also willing to enter into an infrastructure

                  agreement with the Council requiring that infrastructure charges that will be payable

                  for the development will be a current rates;



             (c)The way that the relevant planning documents affect the land has not changed in any

                  substantial   or   materially significant way   since the   approval of the application.

                  Importantly both the Shire of Noosa Strategic Plan (1996)and the current Noosa Plan

                  (2006)identified the land as containing multiple zonings including Attached Housing,

                  Detached Housing and Open Space Conservation. Therefore these planning documents

                  (and the currently draft Planning Scheme for the Sunshine Coast) have not substantially

                  changed in the way that they anticipate development of the site will occur (as the land

                  use   zonings that affecting the site have not changed).


                  Whilst some conflict exists between the development and the current Noosa Plan

                  these same conflicts also existed at the time of lodgement of the development

                  application (and the then relevant Shire of Noosa Strategic Plan). Therefore the

                  grounds relied upon by the applicant and the grounds that warranted approval of the

                  development generally remain unchanged despite the change in the relevant planning

                  documents that has occurred over the life of the development approval. In other words

                  there is no materially significant additional inconsistencies between the development

                  and the planning scheme that did not exist at the time of lodgement or approval of the

                  original application. Evidence to this fact is the Council’s previous approval of an
