PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               8 DECEMBER 2020


South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban footprint area of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is
consistent with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the
assessment benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The application must be assessed against the whole of the Noosa Plan to the extent the provisions
are relevant to the development.
Strategic Framework
The following Strategic Framework provisions are relevant to this application:
1.7.7 Commercial and Retail Development
     d)    The existing business centres of Noosa Junction, Noosaville, Tewantin and Cooroy will
           include some commercial and retail infill within the Business Zone to service the
           surrounding population. Cooroy particularly has scope for expansion to cater for the
           rural hinterland and passing visitors.
1.7.10 Community Services
     b)    The Community Service Zone caters for recreation, social interaction, community
           wellbeing, emergency services, infrastructure, health care, and educational facilities.
     c)    Multiple use and shared facilities are encouraged to ensure efficient provision of
           services. In village centres, community services are generally mixed with business and
           recreational functions, however in larger centres there is often clear delineation of
           business and community functions and spaces.
The development clearly conflicts with strategic provisions set out for Community Services as the
proposal is not providing for community services (e.g. wellbeing, health care, infrastructure etc.)
nor providing uses associated with community service/s.
The Commercial and Retail development strategic framework provision broadly provides some
support for the proposal as it envisages some infill development in the Business Centre zone and
scope for expansion in Cooroy. In this regard the site adjoins the Business centre zone to the west
and a commercial veterinary use to the east and is also opposite a range of commercial uses within
the Business Centre zone across Diamond Street.
