PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               25 MARCH 2014


Precincts 1 and 2 are proposed on this land, with the uses in these precincts being detached and
attached housing, aged care and commercial uses. With the exception of a single detached
dwelling, none of the proposed uses are identified as preferred or acceptable uses.

The proposed urban development fundamentally conflicts with the planning scheme’s land use
intent, which stresses the importance of the area’s environmental and open space values.
Allowance of urban development in an area corresponds with levels of construction and ongoing
impacts that must also be accepted (regardless of best practice development and management
methods employed). As such, the Maroochy Plan 2000 stance in avoiding urban development in
this location reflects the site’s environmental constraints and the significance of its natural
resource and landscape values.

Land Use and Works Provisions

The Noosa Plan
Locality Provisions

Precincts 3 and 4 of the development site are located in the Tewantin and Doonan Locality under
The Noosa Plan and zoned Rural Settlement and Rural. The proposed uses within these
precincts comprise detached and attached housing, aged care and rural residential land uses.
None of the proposed uses are identified as consistent with the zoning of the land on which
they’re proposed (with the rural residential use proposed on Rural zoned land).
