GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                    28 APRIL 2014


development approval on the adjoining site. Residents also in Attunga Heights and opposite the
public walkway are likely to be similarly unaware, with almost 10 years lapsing since the original
notification period. It is likely that further adverse submissions would be received from residents
of these surrounding properties given the proposed development does not comply with The
Noosa Plan provisions and results in significant clearing.

As a result, the proposed extension does not meet the community awareness test for extending
the approval under Section 388c) of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and is likely to attract
submissions opposing the development.

Concurrence Agencies
There were no concurrence agencies applicable to the Material Change of Use application.
However, it is noted that the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning
agreed to extend the relevant period for two years, to allow for clearing of vegetation on the site
associated with the development.
4. Conclusion
In deciding a request for an extension to the relevant period, an assessment has been made
against section 388 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. The assessment has found that the
development is inconsistent with The Noosa Plan and the community is unlikely to be aware of
the proposal given the time elapsed since public notification, with further submissions likely to be
made against the proposal.
