ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                      18 JANUARY 2018


3   RAL17/0501 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR RECONFIGURING A LOT (1 LOT
    INTO 6 RESIDENTIAL LOTS), LOCATED AT 2 DAVID LOW WAY, CASTAWAYS BEACH
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting
    dated 15 January 2018 regarding Application RAL17/0501 for a Development Permit for
    Reconfiguring a Lot – (1 into 6 residential lots), situated at 2 David Low Way, Castaways
    Beach and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.    The proposed development is contrary to the Overall and Specific Outcomes of
               the Eastern Beaches Locality Code of the Noosa Plan. The development
               proposes significant clearing that is contrary to the Locality Code which requires
               protection of the vegetated character and views from the David Low Way and
               protection of native vegetation.
         2.    The proposed development is contrary to the Biodiversity code as it involves
               clearing of vegetation that is mapped as Environmental Protection and Riparian
               vegetation under the Noosa Plan.
         3.    The proposed development will result in unacceptable impacts on the visual
               amenity and character of the area.
         4.    The applicant has not demonstrated that a compliant, safe access is able to be
               provided to the site in accordance with required standards. To achieve a safe
               access significant clearing of vegetation and earthworks in the road reserve is
               also likely to be required.
         5.    The proposal is an overdevelopment of the site with the resultant development
               form detrimentally affecting the environmental and amenity values of the site.
         6.    The proposed development represents a poor planning outcome for the site, with
               the subdivision layout failing to provide street frontage for the lots and an
               excessive number of lots with access via an easement. The proposed access
               arrangements are likely to result in ongoing management and maintenance
               issues for future residents of these lots.
    B.   Advise the utility service providers that there is significant vegetation within the road
         reserve adjacent 2 David Low Way, Castaways Beach that requires detailed
         assessment prior to installation of any services to minimise potential impacts on this
         vegetation.
    C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
