EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Further Report is submitted to the General Committee as supplementary information to the
report entitled Draft Alignment Amendments to The Noosa Plan – Planning Act 2016 submitted to
the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting on 6 June 2017.

Staff have additionally identified inconsistencies regarding the level of assessment for Veterinary
uses in the Business Centre Zone, Neighbourhood Centre Zone and Village Mix Zone. The
planning intent was to make them subject to a code assessment application process, but the plan
provisions have a mix of requirements. This report therefore proposes an additional amendment
be included as part of the alignment amendments to overcome this unintended inconsistency in
respect to levels of assessment. Veterinary uses will become code assessment in the
aforementioned zones.

The additional amendments to accommodate the Veterinary uses are achieved by the deleting
the words “Type 1 or 2” after the words “Commercial business”. These are shown as tracked
changes in Attachment 1 to this Further Report and are recommended to form part of the
Alignment Amendments to The Noosa Plan.
