                      The proposal is of a design, layout and intensity that will not integrate with
                     the broader neighbourhood and allow residents to interact with the wider
                     community.
                d. The proposed development is not appropriately sited and designed in a
                     manner that is compatible with the developed character of the area.
            5. The proposal does not meet PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code as the
            proposal provides no car parking for likely visitors to the development.
            6. The proposal has not demonstrated that safe and satisfactory roadway
            configuration is achievable to the site from the Carpenters Road and Mary Street/
            Jarrah Street roundabout.
            7. The proposal does not meet PO6 of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code as it
            has not been demonstrated that an efficient and safe evacuation route is available
            to residents and that emergency vehicles can access the site.
            8. The proposal is not consistent with actions A5.3.1 to A5.3.6, A5.6.2, A5.6.3,
            and A5.7.2 of the Noosa Housing Strategy 2022 as:
                a. The land is not located within the urban boundary and is more than 400m
                     from the town centre, school and public transport.
                b. The land is located where it would have a reverse amenity impact on
                     industrial business and land committed for industrial purposes.
                c. The proposal is not well integrated within the community and is clustered
                     in an isolated area.
            9. The proposal is unlikely to satisfactorily deliver the social outcomes sought as:
                a. The land is not suited for the proposed development it has poor
                     accessibility, adjoins industrial land and is not well connected to services.
                b. The proposal has not been designed to integrate well with the
                     neighbourhood and within the community with driveways extending
                     around the permitter of the site and the density not consistent with the
                     surrounding character.
                c. The applicant has provided no clear mechanisms that can be conditioned
                     through a development approval to achieve the proposed social/affordable
                     housing outcomes.
            10. The applicant has not demonstrated that the proposed development will not
            interfere with koala habitat mapped by the state as being Core Koala Habitat Area
            or that the works in this area are considered exempt works.
            B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
            Act 2016.
            For:        Crs Wegener, Stockwell, Wilkie, Jurisevic and Finzel
            Against: Crs Lorentson and Stewart
