                              Cr Wellington resumed the Chair.
                              Council Resolution
                              Moved:           Cr Stockwell
                              Seconded:        Cr Glasgow
                              That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Special Meeting dated
                              30 September 2019 regarding an Originating Application to the Planning and
                              Environment Court (Appeal No 3387 of 2019) to Change Conditions of the
                              Development Approval MCU16/0153 at 215 David Low Way, Peregian Beach and
                              advise the Planning and Environment Court that Council does not support the proposed
                              changes to Condition 6 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 it would:
                                    (i)    change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended;
                                    (ii)   delay and/or potentially remove a component that is integral to the
                                           development and outcomes sought for the site by The Noosa Plan.
                              2.    The proposal is not consistent with the Desired 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 does
                                    not optimise the site’s utilisation for short term visitor accommodation and/or
                                    ensure the low cost visitor accommodation needs are met for the area. 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
                                    removes the motel component from the first stage and provides no certainty that
                                    a diversity of visitor accommodation types and affordability will be provided on
                                    the site and in Peregian Beach.
                              For:     Crs Wilkie, Jurisevic, Wellington, Stockwell and Pardon
                              Against: Crs Jackson and Glasgow
                                                                                                           Carried.
                              Cr Wellington voted in favour of the motion.
                              Cr Wilkie voted in favour of the motion.
