2020-03-16 General Committee Meeting Notes

RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                            16 MARCH 2020


            10.    The proposed development is contrary to the draft Noosa Plan provisions which
                   are more protective of the site’s environment values and consequently more
                   restrictive of development.
            11.    The application attracted a considerable number of public submissions raising
                   valid grounds of objection to the development.
            12.    The proposed development is contrary to Schedule 10 Division 3 of the Planning
                   Regulation 2017 as the development is situated in a koala assessable
                   development area and does not avoid, minimise or mitigate interfering with koala
                   habitat or propose a satisfactory offset to address any significant residual impact.
            13.    The proposal is contrary to the State Planning Policy as the proposed
                   development will adversely impact on koala habitat, with koala populations
                   recognised as being matters of both national and state environmental
                   significance.
      B.    Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
