2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
Previous Approval
The subject site was previously part of a greater, master planned development, including the
adjoining lot to the east and lots to the west of the site (refer to Figure 7). In October 2004,
Council issued a Preliminary Approval for a Material Change of Use for Development in
accordance with the ‘Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal Development Code’ (Portal Code)
(132003.221037), which allowed for a four stage development supporting visitor accommodation
for up to 400 persons and associated services on the master planned site. The Portal Code
overrode the provisions of the superseded 1990 Planning Scheme (the Scheme prior to the
current Noosa Plan), and required further applications to be lodged for each stage of the
development for assessment against the Portal Code.

The site was subdivided in 2007 in accordance with the Portal Code, creating eastern and
western visitor precincts, with the remaining site area dedicated as conservation land in the form
of two separate lots (refer to Figure 8).
The subject site and adjoining lot to the west, known as Noosa North Shore Beach Houses, form
the eastern visitor precinct (refer to Figure 8). Noosa North Shore Beach Houses were developed
with 48 visitor accommodation cabins in 2007. The subject site was proposed to be developed in
2008 as stages 3B and 4, and was to include a total of 42 holiday homes.
