      That Council note the report by the Coordinator Panning to the General Meeting dated 16
      March 2020 regarding Application No. 132006.1395.05 for a minor change to an existing
      approval for Material Change Of Use – Multiple Dwelling (10 Units) situated at 142 Noosa
      Drive, Noosa Heads and:
      A.    Refuse the change for the following reasons:
            1.    The proposal is contrary to schedule 11, part 2, section 7 of the Planning
                  Regulation 2017 as the development is situated in a koala assessable
                  development area and does not provide for habitat connectivity or safe koala
                  movement.
            2.    The proposal is inconsistent with biodiversity assessment benchmarks (1), (2),
                  (4) and (5) of Part E of the State Planning Policy as the development will
                  adversely impact upon koala habitat and linkages, with koala populations
                  recognised as being matters of both national and state environmental
                  significance.
            3.    The proposal is inconsistent with water quality assessment benchmarks (1) and
                  (2) of Part E of the State Planning Policy as the development has not adequately
                  demonstrated that water quality objectives will be achieved.
            4.    The proposed development will adversely impact upon the site’s ecological
                  values, including koala habitat and linkage for koala movement throughout the
                  site contrary to Overall Outcomes 13.7.2a)i, 13.7.2a)iii, 13.7.2a)iv, 13.7.2b),
                  13.7.2c), 13.7.2d)i, 13.7.2d)vii, 13.7.2e), 13.7.2g), and Specific Outcomes O1a,
                  O3, O4, O5, O7, O10, O11, O16, O17, O18a), O18b), O18e), O18h), O19b),
                  O19c), O19g) and O19i) of the Biodiversity Overlay Code.
            5.    The proposed development is inconsistent with the Noosa Heads Locality Code
                  as the proposal will adversely impact on the site’s environmental values contrary
                  to Overall Outcome 9.7.2a)iv and Specific Outcomes O3 and O20.
            6.    The proposed Bushfire Management Plan proposes vegetation removal and
                  management within a part of the site which is zoned Open Space Conservation
                  and is intended to be protected and managed to the exclusion of development.
