Attachment 3—Reasons for referral agency response
(Given under section 56(7) of the Planning Act 2016)

 

The reasons for SARA's decision are:

* The proposed development is for a Change Application for an Other Change to a Development
Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises for a Resort Complex and Shop, at 3 and 7 Serenity
Close, Noosa Heads, properly described as Lot 10 on SP195871 & Lot 11 on SP335472

e On 8 April 2010, Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) issued a development approval for a
development permit - material change for Resort Development comprising Multiple Dwelling (109
Dwelling Units). Accommodation Building (90 Accommodation Units) and Ancillary Facilities to be
assessed against the superseded planning scheme (application number: 2008/176)(original
development approval)

* The application seeks to change the original development approval to resort complex with ancillary
retail. The resort accommodation has 178 rooms, 12 suites and 15 villas, resort facilities, including
restaurants, function rooms, indoor and outdoor recreation, well-being, open space areas, and resort
retail.

* Section 82(2) of the Planning Act 2016 stipulates that:

(ithe responsible entity were the assessment manager; and

(b)with necessary changes.

© The subject site is currently mapped under the State Development Assessment Mapping System
(DAMS) as including Koala habitat areas (KHAs) which are located outside a Koala Priority Area
(KPA). The proposed development will significantly impact on a KHA outside of a KPA.

* The proposed development also exceeds State transport infrastructure thresholds under Schedule 20
of the Planning Regulation 2017, as the proposed development includes an accommodation activity
designed to accommodate more than 75 people in a Local government Area (LGA) 2.

* The application requires assessment by SARA against the State Development Assessment
Provisions (SDAP), version 3.0:

o State code 25: Development in SEQ koala habitat areas.
o State code 6: Protection of State Transport Networks
* SARA has assessed the development against State code 25 and State code 6 and found the
development complies with the relevant performance outcomes, subject to conditions to ensure:

© Clearing of non-juvenile koala habitat trees are limited to trees identified as necessary to
remove within the approved development footprint

© Operational works (construction and vegetation clearing activities) that may increase the risk
of stress, injury or death of koalas are identified and managed appropriately so as to prevent
the risks identified

© Koala sensitive design measures for the life of the development are identified and
implemented

° The significant residual impact to koala habitat is offset in accordance with the Environmental
Offset Act 2014

© Provisions for public transport facilities such as private coaches, chartered buses, and
wheelchair accessible taxis are included within the development design
