12   MCU16 0153 01 - MINOR CHANGE TO DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR MATERIAL
     CHANGE OF USE OF PREMISES & REC16/0041 FOR RECONFIGURE OF A LOT AT 215
     DAVID LOW WAY PEREGIAN BEACH
     Committee Recommendation
     Moved:             Cr Jackson
     Seconded:          Cr Glasgow
     That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the General Committee Meeting
     dated 16 September 2019 regarding Application No. MCU16/0153.01 and REC16/0041 for a
     Pre-Request Response to Change Conditions of the Development Approval for 215 David Low
     Way, Peregian Beach and note that the applicant no longer intends to pursue their request for
     a pre-request response from Council and now intends to go directly to the Planning and
     Environment Court on this matter.:
     A.   Advise the applicant that Council does not support the proposed changes to condition 2,
          3, 6, 37 and 66 and the deletion of condition 17 as:
          1.     The proposed change does not constitute a minor change under the Planning Act
                 2016 as the changes would result in a substantially different development, as they
                 would potentially:
                 (i)    change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; and
                 (ii)   remove (through its later and uncertain provision) a component that is
                        integral to the operation and development of the site.
          2.     The proposal is not consistent with the Environmental Outcomes of the Noosa Plan
                 as the changes do not provide certainty that a range of visitor accommodation
                 types will be provided.
          3.     The proposal is not consistent with the Eastern Beaches Locality Code as it would
                 create no certainty about the delivery of the motel and would not optimise the site’s
                 utilisation for short term visitor accommodation. There is relatively little commercial
                 short term accommodation in Peregian Beach and the motel provides a reasonable
                 alternative to the low cost accommodation intended for the site.
          4.     The proposal is not consistent with the draft Noosa Plan as the proposed staging
                 does not provide certainty that a diversity of visitor accommodation types and
                 affordability will be provided in Peregian Beach.
          5.     There are other opportunities to mitigate the potential construction impacts on the
                 motel as opposed to delaying the development of the motel.
          6.     The funding requirements for the development are not a relevant consideration for
                 planning matters and the proposed change to conditions.
     B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
                                                                           Carried unanimously.

13   FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - AUGUST 2019
     Committee Recommendation
     Moved:            Cr Glasgow
     Seconded:         Cr Jurisevic
     That Council note the report by the Manager Financial Services to the General Committee
     Meeting dated 16 September 2019 outlining August 2019 year to date financial performance
     against budget, including changes to the financial performance report with the inclusion of key
     financial sustainability indicators.
                                                                           Carried unanimously.
