ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                             18 MARCH 2021


        7.    The proposed development fails to meet Overall Outcomes 13.7.2 a), b), c), d) (i),
              (ii), (iii) and (v), e) and g) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O4, O5, O6, O8, O9,
              O10, O14, O15, O18 and O19 of the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the proposal
              will result in the removal of significant vegetation and intrude into the site’s riparian
              buffer.
        8.    The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.157.2 a) an b) of the
              Water Sensitive Design Code as the development:
              i.    is not designed and could not be constructed in a manner that does not
                    impede, long term attainment of relevant Environmental Values and Water
                    Quality Objectives as specified in the Environmental Protection Policy 2009;
              ii.   proposes infrastructure within the riparian zone and an extent of cut and fill
                    that is likely to create adverse impacts on downstream ecosystems,
                    properties and infrastructure due to changes to stormwater flow, water quality
                    or ecosystem health.
        9.    The application proposes development within the Water Supply Catchment which
              may result in adverse effects on the quality of water entering Lake Macdonald
              contrary to Specific Outcome O11 of the Natural Hazards and Natural Resources
              Overlay Code.
        10.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific
              Outcome O7 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code as:
              i.    Sufficient visitor parking is not provided and appropriately located for visitors
                    of the Retirement and Special Needs use; and
              ii.   Sufficient parking is not provided for the golf club house.
        11.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific
              Outcome O8 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code and Specific Outcome O7
              and O36 of the Residential Uses Code as internal driveways are too narrow to
              satisfactorily accommodate internal traffic movements.
        12.   The proposed built form and landscaping is not consistent with the preferred
              character within Cooroy and will result in an appearance of excessive bulk, limited
              landscaping and continual roof form.
        13.   Noosa Plan 2020 has identified that it can meet the requirements for residential
              accommodation until 2041 within the current Urban Growth Boundary. The
              application has failed to demonstrate a significant planning need to develop outside
              of these boundaries, nor any overriding community benefit which would justify
              approving the development despite its conflict with the Planning Scheme and
              relevant State Planning Policies.
        14.   In preparing the Noosa Plan 2020 and in reviewing submissions pertaining to this
              property Council considered the development potential and suitability of this site
              and it was considered that despite its inclusion within the Urban Footprint of the
              SEQ Regional Plan, commitment of the land for urban purposes was neither
              necessary nor appropriate.
        15.   The proposal is not consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 which
              seek that the land is developed for rural residential purposes.
        16.   The proposal does not comply with the overall outcomes sought by the Biodiversity,
              Waterways and Wetlands overlay code in Noosa Plan 2020 as the development:
              i.    is not designed, sited, nor could it be constructed in a way that avoids
                    adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, ecological systems and
                    processes.
              ii.   does not propose to conserve, manage, enhance and nor rehabilitate to
                                                                                       Page 22 of 29
