A. Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to provide landowner’s consent, if required, to enable lodgement of any future development application involving Council-owned land affected by the proposed Land Rationalisation Process;

B. Note that the provision of landowner’s consent and the actions authorised under this resolution:

• do not constitute approval of any development application;

• do not commit Council to completing the land exchange; and

• do not authorise any works on, or transfer of, Council land prior to completion of all required approvals, agreements and settlement conditions.

C. Note that the proposed Land Rationalisation Process:

• is intended to facilitate land tenure outcomes that support implementation of the Noosa Junction Framework and Character Plan;

• supports opportunities for future housing outcomes consistent with Council’s Housing Strategy and broader planning objectives;

• will result in no net loss of existing public parking;

• is intended to improve future access arrangements associated with the planned public road connection; and

• supports increased public realm and green space outcomes within the precinct.

• Council-owned land located at Lot 2 on RP889596, Noosa Heads, including a 363m² portion of the existing driveway; and

• adjoining land located at 99 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads,

Through a market value land exchange whereby:

• the consideration comprises land exchanged for land;

• the disposal is in the public interest; and

• the transaction is otherwise consistent with sound contracting principles.

• negotiating and entering into agreements;

• preparing and lodging survey plans;

• finalising Infrastructure Agreements;

• securing easements, access arrangements and road dedications;

• completing the transfer of land interests.

G. Note that all costs associated with the Land Rationalisation Process, including legal, valuation, surveying, lodgement and stamp duty costs, will be funded by the proponent.
