L22 Lodge change app with Council.doc · 132008.175.04

Background

The site forms part of the Settlers Cove Master Planned Community and has been approved for unit
development since March 2005.

Council approved 23119DA for a Multiple Dwelling of 22 units on the subject site in March 2005 in the form
of a four storey building with pool and recreational facilities. This application was lodged and approved
under the 1985 Schedule to the Planning Scheme and 1997 Strategic Plan.

Following further design and development, a new application for a Multiple Dwelling of 22 units (2008/175)
was lodged and subsequentely appproved by Council on 6th August 2009. The approval provided for a four
storey development in two buildings over basement carparking with landscaping and pools to the south
eastern boundary. This application was lodged and assessed under the Superseded Planning Scheme
(1985 Schedule to the Planning Scheme and 1997 Strategic Plan) due to changes in development
parameters.

In January 2014, Council approved an application to extend the relevant period until 6th August 2017 with a
further extension approved in 2015 taking the currency period to 2019. These approvals were reviewed
against the 2006 Noosa Plan provisions and were considered to be consistent with the requirements of the
2006 Planning Scheme.

In September 2015, an application to extend the currency period was lodged with the application reviewed
against the then Draft Noosa Plan (advertised version 2019) with Council approving an extension to the
currency period until 6th August 2023. A copy of the Development Permit and approved plans are included
in Attachment A and B.

a different external presentation and change several conditions to reflect the amended plans. The changes
are required to provide better internal living spaces as well as outdoor spaces through the provision of larger
