PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       25 MARCH 2014

                                     DELEGATED AUTHORITY REPORT

  Background / Site History
  Council, at its ordinary meeting held on 9 August 2007 agreed for a dwelling house on the site to
  be assessed against the superseded planning scheme. This subsequently made the development
  ‘self-assessable’, provided that an infrastructure agreement was entered into with Council.
  On the 8 January 2008, the infrastructure agreement was subsequently settled by Council’s
  solicitor and the owners of the island. The infrastructure agreement imposed a number of
  conditions, including the restriction on vegetation removal, compliance with management plans,
  flooding, and the use of the buildings to be restricted only for a dwelling house. All management
  plans mentioned within the infrastructure agreement applying to the development have been
  complied with.
  A copy of the Infrastructure Agreement is included as Attachment 1.
  Site Description
  The island has a total area of 9.3 ha and is bound by the Noosa River. The majority of the island is
  low lying and vegetated with mangroves. The existing development is located within the northern
  portion of the island and includes nine separate buildings comprising:
      e   1x4 bedroom building;
