I just would like to would like to recognise Mark Baldwin who's the Director of the bounce. He sent us all an email and bounce was named the best hostel chain in Oceania at the 2026 hostel world awards and for most of us we don't know what that means but it is the most prestigious accolades in the global backpacker and budget travel industry so just take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Mark Baldwin. These are the sort of businesses that we really encourage in Noosa. Best practices and with good people and supporting our local economy so no further question I'd like to put it to the vote. All in favour? Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thanks. Next we'll move to reports for consideration 7.3 MCU 250118 application for Material Change of Use of multiple dwelling, affordable rental premises 25 small dwellings at 64 Lake Macdonald Drive. I will note early that this report will be moved to the General Committee. The significance of the matter, but we'll take the opportunity today to get an overview of the report and we'll just ask some questions, but we'll hold the debate till General Committee. Thank you. So hand it over to good you.

Morning Councillors. So the application in front of us is for a Material Change of Use for the purpose of a multiple dwelling development consisting of an affordable rental premises which has taken the form of 25 small dwelling units, sorry small dwellings, so I understand we're relatively familiar with the site, noting that it is part of a larger Council project. I have prepared a couple plans for today that I believe Sally might be trying to bring up if possible, so we can talk to I suppose a couple of the key areas of variation and just a bit more context to the site so so as we can see up on the screen the development that is forming part of this application is proposed to occupy lot one which was approved about mid last year on a subdivision consisting of one into six lots which included the a approval of drainage and a parked lot so I'm for clarity I condition a part of this approval recommended approval package includes that no work such commence until the title of future lot one has been created so that essentially means that should this be approved the titles to be created so the road will be constructed, landscaping will be established as well as the bio-retention basins will be constructed and finalised. Of note the development does consist of an affordable rental premises so this is a new definition that has been introduced with the latest scheme amendment which it essentially just means that the land is secured as affordable housing and for the life the development is sorry secured as affordable housing and will be managed by a registered housing provider for the life of the development and the proposed development type is consistent with the community facilities zone of the property and was required to follow an impact consistent application pathway which did involve public notification for a period of 15 business days and over that period 53 submissions were received you'll note as contained within the there's a table at the end of the document that has summarised all of the submissions and it's got officer commentary against each outcome in terms of the compatibility of the development with the scheme as contained within the report you'll see that there are a couple of minor variations to the acceptable outcomes of the scheme and this includes height, car parking, setbacks, private open space and roof form I'm so sorry sal could we go to the next thank you so in terms of the variation to height we compliant with the eight metres from natural ground level and that is a condition to prove is it recommended condition as well however the development does consist of three stories and this is as a result of that low-level car parking area so it's essentially because it's not backfield it's not below ground and the site just it's quite a difficult site to build on it's quite steep so it wasn't going to be achievable in this instance but in terms of what this means like what external impacts there will be it'll be that elevation that is being highlighted and that is the three-story element that will be visible external to the site
