           A. Recognise that the development application raises non-compliances with the

           B. Find that there are sufficient ‘other relevant matters’ pursuant to s45(5)(b) of the
           Planning Act 2016 to warrant approval the development application in the face of
           any non-compliance, which include:

               1. There is a community and town planning need for the development on the
                  basis that:
                     a. there is a recognised ‘housing affordability crisis’ occurring within
                          the Shire as confirmed by documents produced by Noosa Council
                          including the Draft Noosa Housing Strategy 2022 and Housing
                          Needs Assessment 2021;
                     b. the development would provide community and affordable housing
                          opportunities for disadvantaged and low-income earning groups
                          within the community including essential and key workers, families,
                          individuals suffering from domestic violence, and single women over
                          50;
                     c. the proposed development has strong support from local not-for-
                          profit community housing providers Coast2Bay and St Vincent de
                          Paul who are in need of adding to their housing supply in the Shire;
