RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting
dated 18 May 2020 regarding Application No. 132005.1062.07 to extend the currency period for
a Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Duplex Dwelling and Operational Works -
Landscaping, Car Parking, Access, Stormwater Drainage and Sediment and Erosion Control
situated at 5 Park Crescent, Sunshine Beach and:
A.   Refuse the extension for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 7.7.2 a), g) and
           mm) and Specific Outcomes O1, O5, O13 of Eastern Beaches Locality Code, as the
           development intrudes into the required setbacks, fails to preserve the visual amenity
           of neighbouring properties and includes extensive cut and fill.
     2.    The proposed development is not consistent with the Overall Outcomes 14.44.2 b) &
           h) and Specific Outcomes O13 & O16, as the proposed development is not designed
           and sited to maintain the visual privacy of neighbouring properties and does not
           minimise the need for cut and fill.
     3.    The approval for the Operational Works is not consistent with the current standards
           required by the Engineering Works Codes under The Noosa Plan:
           3.1. Stormwater works conditioned is not consistent with Specific Outcomes O8 and
                O9 of the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
           3.2. Frontage works conditioned is not consistent with current Council Standard
                Drawing requirements under the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
           3.3. Erosion and sediment control measures conditioned are not consistent with
                current requirements of the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
           3.4. The access driveway is not consistent with current Council Standard Drawing
                requirements under the Driveways and Carparking Code; and
           3.5. Earthworks conditioned is not consistent with current Council Standard Drawing
                requirements under the Earthworks Code.
     4.    The development approval was designed in conjunction with 7 Park Crescent,
           Sunshine Beach, which has now lapsed and accordingly has the potential to
           adversely impact on the future amenity of 7 Park Crescent, Sunshine Beach.
     5.    The contributions payable towards trunk infrastructure under this approval are not
           consistent with the current Infrastructure Charges Resolution.
     6.    The proposed development is contrary to the outcomes sought for the site under the
           draft Noosa Plan, with duplex dwellings identified as inconsistent for the area in order
           to accommodate the projected housing needs for Shire.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
