PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       19 AUGUST 2014


It is proposed that the use of Open Space Type 2 Camp Ground be made consistent in both the
Rural Settlement Zone and the Rural Zone, the applicable level of assessment being self-
assessment where it is a self-contained RV overnight area and impact assessment otherwise. It
would remain consistent in the Open Space Recreation Zone and the Open Space Conservation
Zone, subject to impact assessment. It is proposed that any requirement for the use to be near
the Noosa Trail Network be removed.
