Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 20 September 2018, Item 2, Page 7
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 11 September 2018 regarding Application No. MCU17/0005 for a
Development Application for Material Change of Use of Premises – Entertainment and Dining
Business Type 2 – Recreation, Amusement & Fitness (Paintball) situated at 113 Marara St,
Cooroy and:
A.      Refuse the application for the following reasons:
        1.     The proposed development is an inconsistent use in the Rural Zone and the increase
               in traffic on Marara Street from the proposed development is not contemplated by
               The Noosa Plan.
        2.     The proposed development is contrary to the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code
               as the development will compromise the capacity and safety of Marara Street.
        3.     The current condition of Marara Street is not capable of safely accommodating any
               increase in traffic from the proposed development and a satisfactory solution has not
               been identified to address the constrained sections of Marara Street given the current
               road formation and environmental constraints.
        4.     A number of properly made submissions have been received raising valid grounds of
               objection.
B.      Advise the applicant that an indoor play centre does require a further development
        approval to operate from the site and such a use would significantly impact on the safety of
        Marara Street were such a use to commence.
Finance & Risk
It is premature at this stage to provide advice on the likely prospects of the appeal. There will be
costs associated with defending the appeal.
