ATTACHMENT 6 - (MCU21/0110) - PROPOSAL PLANS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A report for this application was presented to Council at the Planning and Environment Committee on 11 July 2023, the application seeks to develop a 106-room hotel on land within Noosa Springs. The report addressed a range of issues including the sites split zoning, the potential odour impacts of the nearby sewage treatment plant, bushfire risk, ecology, carparking and built form. The officer’s recommendation was to approve the application on the basis that the odour impacts had been satisfactorily addressed and matters relating to bushfire, ecology, carparking and built form had been suitably addressed. The matter was referred to the General Committee Meeting dated 17 July 2023 at which time a motion was put forward to refuse the application. The motion was successful, and the application was recommended for refusal. On 19 July the applicant stopped the decision-making period until 29 September 2023. As this was done prior to the Ordinary Meeting of 20 July 2023 Council was not able to finalise a decision on the application. The decision-making period recommenced on 29 September 2023. A Further Report was prepared for the Planning and Environment Committee meeting on 7 November 2023, due to the significance of the matter was referred to the General Meeting of 13 November 2023. At that time the applicant had not amended the layout of the proposed development however had provided several written submissions which included an analysis of the submissions made during the notification period, a letter from a solicitor reviewing the proposed grounds of refusal, and a further letter from the applicant’s planning consultant seeking to justify grounds to support the development.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 17 JUNE 2024
The officer recommendation remained in support of the application, it was recommended that
condition 13 of the original recommendation, which required guests to be advised of the potential
for odour from the sewage treatment plant, be deleted.
The grounds of refusal proposed at the General Committee on July 17, 2023, were reviewed by
a planning solicitor. Accordingly, the updated grounds of refusal were included in the report.
On 13 November 2023 the applicant made an Other Change to the application to include an
extension to the existing clubhouse. The change was an Other Change as it introduced a new
land use into the application. This meant that the application reverted to the Confirmation Notice
stage and no decision was able to be made on the application at the 13 November 2023 General
Committee Meeting.
The change formalises the changes to the clubhouse that were referred to in the original report,
and include the following:
• Minor alterations to the internal configurations of the bar, kitchen, cold room and
store area (red dotted outline); and
• New liquor cool room, new dry store, new security & procurement office, new wet
and dry waste areas and new enclosed storage area (shown as yellow shading).
The proposed addition of the Club use, to facilitate the minor increase in the floor area of the
existing clubhouse raises no concerns. Accordingly, the officer recommendation remains in
support of the application.
