PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        25 MARCH 2014

                                     DELEGATED AUTHORITY REPORT

  additional building or site works required for the use to commence. The impacts of the proposed
  change of use relate to noise, refuse management, effluent disposal, site access and flooding.
  Noise
  The applicant has submitted an acoustic impact assessment to address the potential noise
  aspects of the proposed use. The assessment has established compliance with all relevant noise
  criteria and limits. However, the applicant has modelled the liquor licence criteria for amplified
  music, which allows a significant emission of noise over the background at various times of the
  day or night.
  The Office of Liquor Gaming and Racing’s (OLGR) criterion is generally suitable for an
  entertainment precinct where pubs and clubs would usually establish. The proposal does not meet
  the requirements of The Noosa Plan for development in close proximity to a residential area.
  Therefore, conditions have been imposed to restrict noise emissions to a more appropriate level in
  order to enhance and protect the amenity of neighbouring residents. These limits will be
  enforceable by council at any time where a nuisance complaint is made about the use.
  Refuse Management
  Council’s  environment specialist expects     the  site can   accommodate    acceptable   refuse
  management, subject to conditions of approval.
  Effluent Disposal
  The existing Plumbing Approval (2008/0402) was finalised on the 6 May 2010 and required an
  advanced secondary novaclear aerated water treatment system with associated effluent disposal
  area. An assessment of the existing wastewater infrastructure was finalised on the 1 July 2013.
  The report concludes the wastewater treatment system is capable of accommodating the
  proposed changes to the development, with no further works required.
  Site Access
  The site is only accessible by boat. The applicant indicates the island is to be serviced by 2 boats
  and a barge from the end of Moorindil Street and the Noosa marina. The use generates the need
  for parking of 2 vehicles at Moorindil Street and 1 vehicle at the Noosa marina.
  Engineering Assessment Branch indicate there is sufficient informal carparking area at the
  northern end of Moorindil Street to cater for the 2 spaces. While, the applicant advises the use of
  the commercial boat to access the island requires pick up from a commercial marina berth at
  Noosa marina. A single vehicle requirement in Noosa marina has been included as part of the
  agreement with marina management. Due to the limited number of guests, it is considered that
  any additional traffic movements can be catered for within the current network and conditions are
  required for a car transfer service to be available to drop off and collect guests.
  Flooding
  Council’s Hydrology specialists provide the following key information for the site with respect to
  flooding and coastal hazards:
      e  The elevation of the site is generally around 0.5m AHD with some areas up to 1m AHD.
      e   Peak 100 year ARI freshwater flood level is 3.0m AHD.
      e   Peak Predicted Maximum Flood (PMF) freshwater flood level is 4.35m AHD.
      e  The 100 year ARI storm tide level including projected sea level rise to 2100 is 2.9m AHD.
  The building floor levels of the main residence for the lower level is 2.80m AHD and for the upper
  level it is 4.90m AHD. Access to the site is via boat only.
  Based on the above constraints, if this was a new development or intensification of an existing
  development then it would not be recommended for approval. However, there are no works
  proposed as a result of this application, with the proposed use operating within the existing
