Morning Councillors um today's report is to seek Council endorsement to work with the State department of planning to undertake a section 18 process under the Planning Act 2016 for a proposed Noosa Plan 2020 regarding land at 94 and 170 Holts Road, Cooroy. These sites were included in the urban footprint under the SEQ Regional Plan review back in 2023 for employment, land or industrial purposes. The amendment is to require to New South Wales plan 2020 to facilitate the employment and land use outcomes for these sites. A section 18 process allows for a tailored approach to amend the Noosa Plan 2020 and allows local government to co-design the plan making process and adapt steps in with the State to be more flexible and responsive to the unique local context and communities within their local government area. It's important to consider that as part of this process there's still the statutory community engagement that won't be undertaken and there is still state interest review. Completed, the process once the process agreed with state the section 18 notice will be issued by the chief executive of the department of state development, infrastructure and planning and a further report will be presented to Council outlining the agreed section 18 with the draft amendment to Noosa Plan 2020.
