   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.
