RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Principal Strategic Planners to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 10 November 2015 and proceed with the proposed planning scheme
amendments as advertised with the following changes:-
A.   Amend the flood hazard overlay maps to better reflect terrain and flood level information
     available as set out in the report;
B.   Incorporate mapping changes to the flood hazard overlay resulting from recent Council
     mitigation works at Pomona, Cooroy and Daintree Estate once data is available;
C.   Remove proposed changes to rear setbacks within the Detached Housing Zone contained
     within Schedule 1;
D.   Remove proposed koala habitat areas map from Schedule 7 and instruct staff to prepare a
     koala habitat information map that sits outside the planning scheme and supports
     development assessment and conservation planning;
E.   Change proposed solution S7.4 of the Agricultural Uses Code so that the minimum
     separation distances for free range poultry be to their farm shed or housing structure rather
     than to their grazing fields;
F.   Correct the boundaries of the proposed zoning change of 21 Maple Street Cooroy to
     include part of Lot 5 on C56022 as requested; and
G.   Medical and veterinary offices not be excluded from Precincts E3, E4 and E5 of the Shire
