12   CLOSED SESSION ITEM - ACCESS ISSUE WALTER HAY
     DRIVE - NOOSA ON WEYBA - PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COURT APPEAL
     (NORTHBROOK) - MCU12.0208

     That Council note the report by the Manager, Planning & Environment to the Planning &
     Organisation Committee Meeting dated 16 September 2014 regarding access to Walter
     Hay Drive – Noosa on Weyba and:
     A.     Resolve that it regards the proposed roundabout access from Walter Hay Drive to
            the subject land as undesirable and that in the event that the development was
            approved by the court it would not accept such works;
     B.     Resolve as the road authority, that it regards the proposed roundabout access in
            Walter Hay Drive as contrary to the public interest which requires the preservation
            of the efficiency of the road carrying capacity and the speed environment, of Walter
            Hay Drive;
     C.     Resolve that, as the road authority, it will not accept any access proposal to the
            development which will have the effect of slowing the speed environment of Walter
            Hay Drive as such an outcome is contrary to and likely to undermine Council’s long
            term traffic planning objectives for the area; and
     D.     Instruct Council’s Solicitor for Planning & Environment Court Appeal No 1648/2014
            to advise the appellant of Council’s resolution.
