PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       9 JULY 2019


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 9 July 2019 regarding Application No. 152006.1999.3 to make a minor change to
an existing approval for Reconfiguring a Lot (Subdivision 1 Lot into 52 Lots plus Park) situated at
191 Hollett Rd Noosaville and:
A.   Refuse the change for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposed development is inconsistent with the Noosa Plan 2006 in the following
           respects:
           I.     It is inconsistent with the Strategic Framework of the scheme because:
                  a.   The proposed development would result in the fragmentation of agricultural
                       land and would not conserve land for agricultural purposes
                  b.   The proposed development would result in residential uses outside of the
                       urban growth boundary. The proposed development is inconsistent with the
                       character and amenity of the locality where conservation and agricultural
                       type land uses are expected
           II.    It is inconsistent with the Tewantin & Doonan Locality Code because:
                  a.   The proposed development is not within the Urban Growth Boundary
                  b.   The proposed development would not have a density consistent with the
                       environmental constraints of the area and would not offer high levels of
                       amenity or moderate levels of convenience, accessibility and servicing
                  c.   The proposed development would not provide a tranquil, bushland setting
                  d.   The proposed development would not allow rural land to be protected and
                       managed such that the scenic and environmental values and rural amenity
                       of the locality are preserved
                  e.   The proposed development would not retain tall trees and native
                       vegetation. Existing character trees would not be maintained by the
                       proposed development.
                  f.   The proposed development would have an adverse effect on biodiversity,
                       native vegetation, habitat and landscape quality
                  g.   The proposed development would not protect the land from adverse
                       impacts on environmental values
           III.   It fails to meet the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the Biodiversity Code in the
                  following respects:
                  a.   The proposed development would not conserve the natural resources of
                       Noosa Shire including native and remnant vegetation
                  b.   The proposed development would not conserve, manage, enhance and
                       rehabilitate ecologically important areas to ensure long term ecological
                       viability, integrity and sustainability of native flora and fauna species
                  c.   The proposed development would not avoid, minimise or mitigate impacts
                       on the Shire’s biodiversity values and natural resources
                  d.   The proposed development would cause the clearing of protected
                       vegetation. That clearing is not reasonably necessary and would not occur
                       in an environmentally sensitive manner
                  e.   The proposed development would not retain necessary vegetation, would
                       cause unacceptable fragmentation and edge effects, would not maximise
