PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                25 MARCH 2014


    5.    The development will have unacceptable impacts on the ecological values of the site
          and its environs including:
             i.    Habitat and water quality of wetlands and waters of the Lake Weyba and
                   Noosa River systems;
             ii.   Flora and Fauna including rare and threatened species; and
            iii.   Existing fauna corridors.
    6.    The development represents an inefficient and poorly located extension to Noosa’s
          urban footprint and will result in unacceptable social and sustainability outcomes in
          regard to:
            i.     Pedestrian and cycle connectivity;
           ii.     Accessibility to activity centres and transport nodes;
           iii.    Public transport provision;
          iv.      Residents’ level of car dependency; and
           v.      Delivery and ongoing maintenance of infrastructure.
    7.    The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the development will not adversely
          impact on Aboriginal cultural heritage values.
    8.    The development is located outside areas planned for urban infrastructure and will
          adversely impact on the existing trunk infrastructure network.
    9.    The development provides insufficient social infrastructure to meet the needs of its
          future residents.
    10.   The development would use limited remaining treatment capacity at Noosa’s sewage
          treatment plant at the opportunity cost of planning for future development in the
          Noosa area.
    11.   The development will have unacceptable impacts on Walter Hay Drive’s function and
          role as Noosa’s preferred primary entrance route.
    12.   The development will have undesirable impacts on the scenic amenity and natural
          character of the area and the inter-urban break experienced along Walter Hay Drive.
    13.   The development’s residential intensity significantly exceeds reasonable expectations
          for existing local residents and adjacent visitor accommodation businesses and will
          unduly impact on the area’s amenity.
    14.   The development poses unacceptable risks to people and property due to bushfire
          hazard.
    15.   The development will place residents at unacceptable exposure levels to mosquitos,
          biting midges and associated arboviruses, the management of which is likely to result
          in financial impositions on Council.
    16.   Concurrence Agency conditions directed by the Department of Environment &
          Heritage Protection significantly impact on the development’s functionality and would
          result in a substantially different development. The conditions require significant
          changes, which would also be likely to cause additional persons to make submissions
          objecting to the changes if circumstances allowed.
