The above application was approved on 23 December 2011 and the subdivision is now nearing
completion. The applicant has requested Council review the charge for roadworks contribution
of $1,242 as a condition of the approval required them to contribute a portion of the land to
Council as road reserve. The area of land to be dedicated includes a section of Council
controlled road which currently traverses their property. In light of this the roadworks
contribution should not have been imposed as part of the approval at that time. Therefore it is
recommended that, under the circumstances, the fee to change the approval be waived

                                                                Policy

The applicant has requested a reduction of fees as the cost of the application for the proposed
use is considered excessive. The fee as per the Schedule of Fees & Charges includes a x 3
multiplier for an inconsistent, impact assessable application for the use within the Industrial Zone
in Noosaville. The applicant states that the fee does not represent the time involved in
assessment of the application and that the planning scheme does not cater for a facility of this
nature and size to be established in Noosa.
In light of the fact that even though the assessment table for this type of use in an Industrial
Zone triggers an inconsistent impact application process, the scheme does identify that some
sport and recreation uses are acceptable in the Industry Zone, being difficult to located in
commercial zones due to the use area required.
“The Industry Zone is protected for industrial functions including Industrial Business Type 2 to
the exclusion of incompatible uses including Residential Uses, Community Uses, Commercial
business and most sport and recreation uses and Retail business uses.”
Under the circumstances it is considered appropriate not to impose the fee multiplier and charge
only the impact assessable fee.
