2017-04-18 General Committee Meeting Notes

RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                                 18 APRIL 2017


3   MCU16/0075 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE OF
    PREMISES - DETACHED HOUSE (19) AT 90 BEACH ROAD, NOOSA NORTH SHORE
    Cr Wellington declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the
    Local Government Act 2009) due to his business dealings with Petrac in 2008 and Solingen in 2011
    (both prior to his election to Council) to provide display material to the North Shore Eco Centre (also
    known as Great Sandy Eco Centre). Cr Wellington believed he could consider this item impartially and
    in the public interest and therefore remained in the meeting room for the debate and decision on this
    matter.
    Motion
    Moved:             Cr Jackson
    Seconded:          Cr Glasgow
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
    Committee Meeting dated 11 April 2017 and request a reviewed report to the Ordinary
    Meeting with an alternative motion to approve the application, with conditions as appropriate.
     and refuse Application No. MCU16/0075 for a Development Permit for 19 Detached houses,
    situated at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore for the following reasons:
    1.       The proposed use, defined as a Detached House under The Noosa Plan is an
    inconsistent use in a Visitor Mixed Use zone and is contrary to the Overall Outcomes of the
    Noosa North Shore Locality Code and the strategic intent of The Noosa Plan, which seeks
    to protect substantial key sites for visitor accommodation, with the subject site identified as
    one of the key sites;
    2.      The non-protection of substantial key sites for visitor accommodation will adversely
    impact upon a viable tourism economy for Noosa;
    3.       The proposal is likely to result in poor amenity for permanent residents and may
    create negative experiences for visitors to the resort, given the potential conflicts between
    permanent residents and visitors;
    4.        The proposal has the potential to increase pressure to provide additional
    infrastructure and services on the Noosa North Shore, contrary to The Noosa Plan and Local
    Government Infrastructure Plan; and
    5.      The applicant does not provide sufficient grounds to justify the conflict with the
    Planning Scheme and the proposal will not result in any significant benefits to the community.
                                                                                                     Lost.
