Noosaville. Yes, Mr. Murphy.

Okay, so the report advises that we have received, or the appeal has been lodged against the decision that was made by Council to refuse a development application for Material Change of Use for Health Care Service and hospital at 47 Goodchap Street in Noosaville, councilors Councillors may recall the application was seeking the development of residential zone land and that was going to comprise two separate buildings, one being a single storey infusion centre located at the front of the site and also a two storey day surgery located site and over storey a basement car parking to the rear of the site. The application was refused on the basis that the scheme seeks that the use of the hospital site be maximised with further health services co-located. The existing hospital site. There are other areas available such as the Noosa Business Centre, the Noosa Junction, Mary Street, Thomas Street precinct and Opal Street, Cooroy that could accommodate the proposed health facilities and day surgery consistent with the current zoning pattern for Shire and that the existing lot is well suited for residential development and is needed to cater for future housing. The proposed development is of a scale and character that is likely to adversely impact on residents, amenity and the streetscape and that it had not been demonstrated that car parking would be provided to meet the likely parking demand. Accordingly, the matter is in order for Council to defend at the appeal.
