KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS                                                                     TOWN PLANNING REPORT 10983




5.0 CONCLUSION

This Town Planning report has been prepared by KHA Development Managers to accompany a
request by Starco Developments Pty Ltd for Extension to the Relevant Period in respect of a
Development Permit for Material Change of Use (file reference: 2005/1133) over land located at
Leslie Drive, Noosa Heads, described as part of Lot 3 on SP221524. The application seeks an
extension to the relevant period of the development approval in accordance with Section 383 of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

The approved development (under file number: 2005/1133) generally complies with the Noosa Plan
with the exception of building height in part and a relatively minor increase in gross floor area.
However, while there is some conflict with the current planning scheme provisions the application
was previously assessed under both the superseded planning scheme and draft Noosa Plan and
supported in its current form. The application is not materially different to that publicly advertised and
this application seeks an extension of the relevant period for the same application.

The development proposal has not been able to proceed as previously planned, understandably
because of the change in the market place due to the global financial crisis. The proposed
development clearly has enormous community benefit with the provision of visitor accommodation
and services, local employment during construction and for the ongoing operational aspects of the
development. The development proposal remains generally compliant with the Noosa Plan and to the
extent that there is any conflict it is minor and there are sufficient planning grounds to allow the
relevant period of the approval to be extended.

The proposal was previously advertised in its current form and approved with consideration given to
the draft Noosa Plan at that time. The contributions payable for the development including the
payment towards the road network under the current infrastructure charges plan remain relevant to
the current approval.

It is reasonable in this case to allow the extension of the relevant period so that the community
benefit of the proposal can be realised.
