REPORT
On 17 September Council at its Ordinary Meeting resolved to refuse an application to extend the
currency period of a development approval for 6 Heron St, Peregian Beach for the following
reasons:
1.                       The proposed development is contrary to the Overall Outcomes 7.7.2 g), jj) and oo) and
                         Specific Outcomes O6 and O12 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code of the Noosa Plan
                         2006 as:
                         i.    The proposed development does not incorporate a pitched or curved roof form,
                               exceeds the maximum plot ratio for the Neighbourhood Centre Zone and results in a
                               building scale which is not compatible with surrounding development and which
                               presents an appearance of excessive bulk to adjacent properties, roads and the village
                               green.
2.                       The proposed development is contrary to the Purpose, Overall Outcomes and Performance
                         Outcomes PO11 and PO12 of the Local Centre Zone of the Noosa Plan 2020 as:
                         i.    The proposed development is not small in scale in the context of Peregian Beach
                               village, exceeding the maximum plot ratio of the site and will result in a building which
                               is not compatible with the scale of surrounding development and presents a bulky
                               appearance adjacent properties, roads and the village green.
                         ii.   The proposed development does not provide a 2 metre setback to the village green
                               and maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings fronting the village green
                               and consequently will impact on the area’s amenity.
3.                       The proposed development is contrary to the Purpose and Overall Outcomes and the
                         Performance Outcome PO3, PO7 and PO10 of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code
                         of the Noosa Plan 2020 as:
                         i.    The proposal does not retain and enhance the built form of streetscape character of
                               the centre as the scheme has excessive plot ratio and site cover, and proposes
                               inadequate setbacks to the village green.
                         ii.   The proposed development does not provide varied roof forms and variations in
                               projected and recessed elements and facades.
