1    RAL18/0009 – DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION TO RECONFIGURE A LOT FOR 1 INTO 2
     LOTS AT 20 MITTI STREET, NOOSA HEADS
     Cr Glasgow declared a real conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the Local
     Government Act 2009) due to his close friendship with the applicants, Peter and Sarah Loxton.
     Cr Glasgow left the meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.
     Committee Recommendation
     Moved:             Cr Wellington
     Seconded:          Cr Stockwell
     That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Planning &
     Environment Committee Meeting dated 12 February 2019 regarding Application No.
     RAL18/0009 for a Development Permit to Reconfigure a Lot - 1 lot into 2 lots situated at 20
     Mitti Street, Noosa Heads and:
     A.     Refuse Application No. RAL18/0009 for a Development Permit for Reconfiguring A Lot -
            1 lot into 2 lots, situated at 20 Mitti Street, Noosa Heads for the following reasons:
            1.   The proposal is not consistent with The Noosa Plan’s Reconfiguring a Lot Code as
                 the proposed lots are not suitable for their intended use as they do not contain
                 house site areas 100% above the 1% AEP flood level with lot 1 subject to
                 significant flooding from an overland drainage path.
            2.   The proposal has not demonstrated suitable, safe and appropriate access to Lot
                 1.
            3.   The applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated the proposal will not cause offsite
                 flooding impacts.
            4.   The proposed lots are not consistent with The Noosa Plan’s Noosa Heads Locality
                 Code as the proposal will not maintain the safety of people and will not achieve a
                 high level of residential amenity for residents given the overland drainage path that
                 traverses the property.
            5.   The proposed reconfiguration will ultimately place more people within an area
                 which has a clear risk of flooding compromising people’s safety.
            6.   The proposed lots do not comply with The Noosa Plan’s Reconfiguring a Lot Code
                 as the lots are located within 50m of Noosa National Park.
