Committee Recommendation
Moved: Cr Frank Wilkie
Seconded: Cr Tom Wegner
That Council note the report by the Coordinator, Planning to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 11 June 2024 regarding Application No. MCU22/0094 for a Material
Change of Use for a Childcare centre, situated at 28 Eenie Creek Rd Noosaville and:
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development is not consistent with condition no. 53 of Development
Permit to Reconfigure a Lot (1 lot into 23 lots) RAL18/0023 as the proposal does not
include the required 10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann
Drive.
2. The proposal is not consistent with the Strategic Intent and Strategic Outcomes 3.3.1(o),
and 3.3.5 (s)(i) (D) of the Noosa Plan 2020 as the proposal fails to incorporate the 10m
wide landscaping required to Hofmann Drive to achieve the parklike, vegetated setting
envisaged for the centre which is synonymous with the Noosa
style.
3. The proposal is not consistent with acceptable and performance outcomes AO5, PO5,
AO7.4, PO7 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code a:
a. The development does not retain or propose to enhance the required 10m wide
landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive which is important to contribute and create
the character sought for the Noosa Business Centre.
4. The proposal is not consistent with the overall outcome (3)(f) and (4) acceptable and
performance outcomes AO32.4, AO32.5, AO32.6, PO32 and PO33 of the Major Centre
Zone as:
a. Reducing the width of the landscaped garden beds required to Hofmann Drive,
particularly where this approach is continued for the remainder of the lots with
frontage to Hofmann Drive, will compromise and impact the ability to achieve a
centre which is overall recognisable as having a Noosa style.
b. The proposal does not retain, incorporate, or enhance the existing vegetation within
the required 10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive, which is
important to enhance the visual amenity and natural landscape character of the
Noosa Business Centre.
Page 8
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 17 JUNE 2024
c. The proposal disrupts the landscaped streetscape treatment required to Hofmann
Drive intended to enhance the amenity and contribute positively to the centre’s
character.
d. The proposed use is an inconsistent use in the Major Centre Zone Code – Business
Park Precinct will not deliver the commercial and employment uses intended for the
Precinct such as health and wellbeing, education, research and technology and
knowledge-based industries.
e. The bio retention basin at the front of the site is located within the required setback
area and in front of the proposed carparking area which results in the development
being more visible to the road and not located in a park like
setting.
5. The proposal is not consistent with overall outcome 2(a), (d) and performance outcome
PO8 of the Sustainable Building Design Code as the development does not provide a
minimum floor to ceiling height of
2.7m.
6. The proposed bicycle parking is not consistent with acceptable outcomes AO6.1 of the
Driveways and Parking Code as they are located in an area that impedes access around
the site.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
C. Request staff to undertake action to ensure the landscaping across the frontage of the site
is consistent with development approvals RAL18/0023 and OPW20/0145.
For: Crs Wilson, Wilkie, Finzel, Wegener and Stockwell
Against: Crs Lorentson and Phillips
Carried.
5.4. FURTHER REPORT - MCU21/0110 - APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL
CHANGE OF USE - RESORT COMPLEX AND ANCILLARY BAR, FOOD AND
DRINK OUTLET, OUTDOOR SPORT AND RECREATION, AND CLUB
(MINOR EXTENSION TO EXISTING CLUBHOUSE) AT 61 NOOSA SPRINGS
DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel
provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of
interest in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
matter as I have come to understand that JFP Urban Consultants on behalf of
Altum Property Group, who are the Developers of Park Ridge Noosa Springs,
made a submission against the Noosa Springs Hotel Development. Since then,
the matter has changed give Altum Property Group has withdrawn the
submission. Leigh McCready, who is associated with Altum, was involved as a
volunteer with my 2020 election campaign with Future Noosa which is no longer
an entity. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not have
a close personal relationship with Leigh & Rob McCready. Therefore, I will choose
to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting
on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.

6.6. 2024-2025 COMMUNITY PROGRAM FUNDING – COMMUNITY PROJECT
GRANTS (ROUND ONE) – PROGRAM/PROJECTS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel
provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of
interest in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
matter in relation to the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club Grant application
which is before us today. Leigh McCready has recently been elected as the
president of this club. Mr Rob McCready sits in a decision-making capacity on
the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Sub-Committee. Mr McCready is
married to Leigh McCready who worked as a volunteer on the 2020 Future
Noosa Election Campaign which is no longer an entity. Mr & Mrs McCready are
not related parties, nor are they close associates and therefore I do not believe
this COI satisfies the requirements the act as I do not stand to gain a benefit or
loss in relation to the matter that is no greater than the benefit or loss of a
significant proportion of persons in the local government area stand to gain or
lose. However, in the public interest and full transparency I will declare this
interest as I believe I am able to make an impartial decision on the matter.
Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect
the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the
decision.

Cr Stockwell informed the meeting that: "For the past two terms, I have declared
a conflict of interest as a result of my long association with Noosa District
Landcare and its unincorporated forebear. However, having now received more
detailed legal advice, it is clear that my circumstances do not meet the definition
of a declarable conflict of interest because the organisation is neither a close
associate nor a related party under the Local Government Act and therefore, I
will not be declaring any type of COI for this matter or in relation to that group
into the future.”
