STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS:

In accordance with Section 388 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, in deciding a request to extend
the relevant period, the assessment manager must only have regard to:

     a) the consistency of the approval, including its conditions, with the current laws and policies
           applying to the development, including, for example, the amount and type of infrastructure
           contributions, or charges payable under chapter 8, parts 2 and 3; and
     (b) the community’s current awareness of the development approval; and
     (c) whether, if the request were refused—
           (i) further rights to make a submission may be available for a further development application;

           (ii) the likely extent to which those rights may be exercised; and
     (d) the views of any concurrence agency for the approval given under section 385.

ASSESSMENT:

The current development approval was assessed and granted under the superseded planning scheme
prior to the current Noosa Plan. The proposal was reviewed against the 2006 Noosa Plan provisions
under the previous application for extension of the relevant period, wherein it was determined that the
core values of the site including environmental and density provisions were met. A comparison of the
proposal against the current planning scheme is detailed below:

As indicated above the proposal generally complies with the current provisions of the Noosa Plan apart
from gross floor area. It is noted that the existing approval is for 10 units which is actually less than the
12 units that could be developed on site. The slight increase in gross floor area is considered to meet
the Specific Outcome which indicates development:

      a) results in a building scale that is compatible with surrounding development;
