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.
