EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
dated 11 July 2017 and the further report to the Ordinary Meeting dated 20 July 2017 and refuse
Application No. 152006.1999.01 for an extension to the Relevant Period for a Development Permit
to Reconfigure a Lot (52 lots and park) situated at 191 Hollett Road, Noosaville for the following
reasons:
1. The approval is not consistent with the South East Queensland Regional Plan as the
development would result in the creation of an urban settlement within an area where the
intent is to protect the landscape and the capacity for rural production.
2. The approval is not consistent with the Noosa Plan 2006 as the proposed urban development
is not located within an established village and would result in fragmentation of land holdings
outside of areas already allocated for such purpose by the Noosa Plan. The development is
also partly located within the Riparian Buffer area identified for protection by the Biodiversity
Overlay
3. The approval is contrary to the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning
Regulatory Planning Provisions as the development will result in the removal of non-juvenile
koala habitat trees.
4. Different bushfire hazard mapping to that used for the initial approval applies as the State
Planning Provisions came into effect after the original approval and results in a higher hazard
rating. The higher hazard rating may require changes to setback/buffer areas and an
amended subdivision layout. An updated bushfire management plan has not been submitted
to enable an assessment of the current bushfire hazard.
5. Significant time has lapsed since the ecological assessment reports were originally submitted
and the information in these reports is now outdated. Updated ecological reports have not
been submitted.
6. The community is unlikely to be aware of the proposal given the significant time that has
lapsed, the Noosa Plan’s current zoning and no works have commenced on site.
REPORT
A report on this application was prepared for the Planning & Environment Committee on 11 July
2017 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee meeting. During the course of
discussions at the General Committee meeting, Councillors were advised that a further report was
required to address an omission in the initial report.
Page 14 of 16
Section 15
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 20 JULY 2017
In the circumstances the General Committee requested a further report be presented to the
Ordinary meeting for 20 July 2017.
The original report did not note that the proposed extension of the relevant period would align with
the sunset clause within condition 5 of the original approval, which specifies 6 years for the
completion of the development.
Condition 5 states:
The uncompleted aspects of this development approval lapses if the subdivision plan for the
last stage of the development has not been registered by the relevant titles authority within 6
years of the date this approval takes effect.
The proposed alignment of the relevant period with the Condition 5 does not alter the
recommendation of the original report and the proposed grounds of refusal remain unchanged.
As per the original report it is noted that considerable time has elapsed since the original re-zoning
of the land in 1998, which has provided the property owner with substantial opportunity to act.
Since the development approval was issued in 2013 the property owner could have undertaken a
range of activities to progress the development approval. These activities include:
Lodgement of an Operational works application for Operational Works for Subdivisional
Works;
Lodgement of amended plans with Council to satisfy the requirements of the Decision Notice;
Subdivisional works including road works;
Environmental works to the park, lots and parts of Hollett Rd; and
Submission of detailed management plans relating to stormwater and acid sulphate soils.
The property owner has not undertaken any of these steps to progress the development. The
development as previously advised in the report to Planning & Environment Committee on 11 July
2017 (refer to page 37 of Committee agenda) significantly conflicts with the SEQ Regional Plan,
the SEQ Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions and The Noosa Plan the
proposal will not result in any significant benefits to the community.
