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     and the information in these reports is now outdated.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.
