PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                              10 NOVEMBER 2015


A request was made to change the zoning of Lot 135 Elm St, Cooroy (cnr Elm and Pearsons
Road) from the Community Services Zone to the Detached Housing Zone to reflect the intent of
recently issued Development Approvals. While there is an argument that the current zoning does
not reflect the intent of the land and that this could be misleading for the community and
prospective investors, it is still preferable that the matter be held over to preparation of the next
planning scheme.

A submission was received which expressed satisfaction with proposed change in zone for The
Oasis, Noosa Springs from Open Space to Detached Housing however it also requested Council
change the zoning of Lot 4 on SP178340 (the tennis courts and clubhouse facilities) to Semi
Detached Housing or specifically make Visitor Accommodation Type 4 Conventional consistent
and code assessable in the Open Space Recreation Zone. Staff advise that this scheme
amendment process is not the appropriate mechanism to consider further zone changes of other
precincts nor approving new uses. It is recommended that this is a matter for detailed
consideration through preparation of the next planning scheme or the development assessment
process.

Commercial business uses Type 2 Medical and Type 3 Veterinary have been removed from
consistent uses within Precincts E3, E4, and E5 and listed as inconsistent. These precincts are
located along the western edge of the Shire Business Centre adjoining the Industry Zone. A
submission objecting to this change on the basis it had no rationale was received on behalf of
owners of 36 to 42 Hofmann Drive. On the basis that comprehensive consideration of the Shire
Business Centre master plan should form part of the preparation of the next planning scheme it is
suggested this proposed change not be made now. However, staff recommend that the next
planning scheme should give consideration to the clustering of new medical uses in areas such
as the Shire Business Centre, or close to the Noosaville Hospital or Eden Rehabilitation Centre
at Cooroy.
