12   CLOSED SESSION ITEM - ACCESS ISSUE WALTER HAY
     DRIVE - NOOSA ON WEYBA - PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COURT APPEAL
     (NORTHBROOK) - MCU12.0208

     That Council note the report by the Manager, Planning & Environment to the Planning &
     Organisation Committee Meeting dated 16 September 2014 regarding access to Walter
     Hay Drive – Noosa on Weyba and:
     A.    Resolve that it regards the proposed roundabout access from Walter Hay Drive to
           the subject land as undesirable and that in the event that the development was
           approved by the court it would not accept such works;
     B.    Resolve as the road authority, that it regards the proposed roundabout access in
           Walter Hay Drive as contrary to the public interest which requires the preservation
           of the efficiency of the road carrying capacity and the speed environment, of Walter
           Hay Drive;
     C.    Resolve that, as the road authority, it will not accept any access proposal to the
           development which will have the effect of slowing the speed environment of Walter
           Hay Drive as such an outcome is contrary to and likely to undermine Council’s long
           term traffic planning objectives for the area; and
     D.    Instruct Council’s Solicitor for Planning & Environment Court Appeal No 1648/2014
           to advise the appellant of Council’s resolution.
