Town Planning Report

Project Urban – 16161                                                                       June 2016




The Industrial Business Uses DEO is considered to be of relevance to the proposed
development. This DEO is set out as follows:

         Industrial uses and extractive and mining uses—
         i. provides suitable levels of service and employment to the community;
         ii. promotes the sale of local products;
         iii. is predominantly low key, clean and service-orientated;
         iv. is underpinned by environmentally sustainable development practices that avoid
               adverse impacts on immediate or surrounding settlements or ecosystems;
         v. develops and operates in a sustainable manner, including prudent use of non-
               renewable resources;
         vi. results in a proportion of Noosa’s higher order needs being fulfilled by facilities
               located in other areas, particularly the key regional centre of Maroochydore;
         vii. protects industrial areas, valuable extractive and mineral resources and associated
               heavy vehicle haul routes, particularly from the encroachment of incompatible
               development, for the ongoing benefit of the community; and
         viii. utilises water and energy efficient practices.

Comment: This DEO is only relevant to the extent that the land is zoned Industry and there may
be perceived concerns with the protection of industrial land for industrial uses and other
compatible uses.

The level of conflict really distils down to the preferred land uses in the plan of development. All
proposed uses are identified as inconsistent uses in the plan of development for the site.
Sufficient grounds to gain approval to justify the development’s conflicts with relevant planning
instruments are provided in Section 2.0 of this report.

For the reasons above, it is our view that the proposal does not impact on the hierarchy of
centres or industrial areas and furthermore, it is consistent with the Noosa Plan’s DEOs.

7.4 OVERLAYS

The site is mapped as being within the Lake Macdonald Water Supply Catchment and being
within a Resource Separation Area on the Natural Resources Overlay Map. The proposal is
considered to comply with the Natural Resources Overlay Code in the following ways:

        The development will not adversely affect the ongoing use of extractive or mining
         industries and will not constrain the transportation of such materials;
        The development will not adversely impact on the Lake Macdonald water supply. The site
         is a committed urban development site that is located above 98.5m AHD and is connected
         to sewer. Appropriate stormwater quality and erosion and sediment control measures will
         be incorporated into the development.

7.5 COOROY & LAKE MACDONALD LOCALITY PLAN – OVERALL OUTCOMES

The subject site is located within the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality and forms part of the
Industry Zone. The overall outcomes sought for the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality are set
out in section 6.8.2 of the planning scheme and are as follows:
