                                                      there is no restriction on the number of units being
                                                      used for permanent residential living 8 . Under the
                                                      planning scheme the “Parkridge Noosa” development
                                                      is located within the TAZ and is intended for visitor
                                                      accommodation, which now is unlikely to be realised.

                                                      In contrast, the proposed development is for purely
                                                      visitor accommodation, to the exclusion of
                                                      permanent residential living, which will provide
                                                      substantial community benefit for reasons already
                                                      explained. The proposed development is for a
                                                      different      development     providing     visitor
                                                      accommodation and does not amount to “double
                                                      dipping”.

                                                      of which are located within the ROSZ, and a
                                                      consistent Sport and Recreation use. Further, the
                                                      existing tennis pavilion has also been replaced.

                                                      additional solar panels, which substantially increase
                                                      the amount of solar power (50kVA PV System) able to
                                                      be generated as stated in the advice provided (refer

                                                      A number of sustainability and other energy
                                                      efficiency measures are being adopted for the
                                                      development as explained in the Superior Design
                                                      Outcomes Report (Attachment 8). The applicant is
                                                      committed to providing a high level of sustainability,
                                                      which reduces cost in the long term, by achieving a
                                                      high stand of energy efficiency.

The development does not accord                       It is not agreed that the proposed development does
