ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                                      20 JULY 2017


7   ORDINARY MEETING REPORTS


1   152006.1999.01 - FURTHER REPORT - APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION TO THE
    RELEVANT PERIOD RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO RECONFIGURE A
    LOT (52 LOTS & PARK) FOR 191 HOLLETT ROAD, NOOSAVILLE
    Cr Glasgow declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the Local
    Government Act 2009) as he had made initial inquiries about purchasing this site as part of an investment
    group but did not proceed any further with that approach. Cr Glasgow advised that he has no current
    interests in the site however due to his previous inquiries, Cr Glasgow left the meeting room for the debate
    and decision on this matter.
    Council Resolution
    Moved:              Cr Stockwell
    Seconded:           Cr Jurisevic
    That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment
    Committee dated 11 July 2017 and the further report to the Ordinary Meeting dated 20 July
    2017 and refuse Application No. 152006.1999.01 for an extension to the Relevant Period for
    a Development Permit to Reconfigure a Lot (52 lots and park) situated at 191 Hollett Road,
    Noosaville for the following reasons:
    1.    The approval is not consistent with the South East Queensland Regional Plan as the
          development would result in the creation of an urban settlement within an area where
          the intent is to protect the landscape and the capacity for rural production.
    2.    The approval is not consistent with the Noosa Plan 2006 as the proposed urban
          development is not located within an established village and would result in
          fragmentation of land holdings outside of areas already allocated for such purpose by
          the Noosa Plan. The development is also partly located within the Riparian Buffer area
          identified for protection by the Biodiversity Overlay
    3.    The approval is contrary to the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State
          Planning Regulatory Planning Provisions as the development will result in the removal
          of non-juvenile koala habitat trees.
    4.    Different bushfire hazard mapping to that used for the initial approval applies as the
          State Planning Provisions came into effect after the original approval and results in a
          higher hazard rating. The higher hazard rating may require changes to setback/buffer
          areas and an amended subdivision layout. An updated bushfire management plan has
          not been submitted to enable an assessment of the current bushfire hazard.
    5.    Significant time has lapsed since the ecological assessment reports were originally
          submitted and the information in these reports is now outdated. Updated ecological
          reports have not been submitted.
    6.    The community is unlikely to be aware of the proposal given the significant time that
          has lapsed, the Noosa Plan’s current zoning and no works have commenced on site.
                                                                                                     Carried.
    Cr Glasgow re-joined the meeting.
