…the Council and the ratepayers recoup some costs for the infrastructure. Provision for new developments, we do have the discretion to waive infrastructure charges for affordable dwellings and secondary dwellings, as you've mentioned, in areas that we want to encourage the proliferation of certain types of dwellings. So, thank you very much for the report. I'll put it to the vot…
…tenancies it doesn't meet the scheme requirements and that was generally designed around new development where we do want those larger floor plates particularly in a showroom context this is already an established existing built environment so we have to assess the context of the application material before us so and I think that's what the team have done and understand that it…
…did fit in with the town plan or not. And so the same thing will go here that all the new developments still have to be consistent with the new supply.
…operators with reduced capacity to invest in capital works, including construction of new developments for which they already had Council approvals. The opportunity for additional social housing was found to be limited and action by Council was deemed necessary before it could be delivered. The 2021 study recommended Council adopt a Housing Strategy with actions to improve hous…
…response to the short-term accommodation monitoring report. This will make new applications, new developments in medium density, high density, rural res and rural and business centres for permanent residents only. Further limiting the loss of dwellings to short-term accommodation. There are also other provisions for the innovation centre and residential zones out of Noosa Civic…
…requires councils to have a charges resolution to be able to issue infrastructure charges on new development, any increase in development. This report is basically just a standard administrative update to match the current charges with the recently updated planning regulation maximum amounts which happens usually on the 1st of July. Year. Yeah and the only difference with this …
…So that $2.3 million per annum is used to go into infrastructure upgrades. Support the new development that's obviously approved through the process so it's essentially a charge on developers that goes in to fund community infrastructure particularly for trunk infrastructure which is regional wide infrastructure so not local streets as such it's all regional wide sort of infras…
…moment. Ratepayers are having to fund a good chunk of that upgrade work. And often it's the new developments that benefit from a lot of those upgrades as well.
…liveability score. Noosa Junction, Noosa Heads, very high. All these issues about the new developments that are occurring in the junction, there's already a collaborative model in place they're very well serviced. This is the risk with notified motions. It diverts resources away from commitments already in place and from other areas of need. So all very good points made by Coun…
…high standard and is not currently planned to upgrade the facilities or to add to them. New development at lot 162 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy for housing may increase the use of the park. However to help people cross Lake Macdonald a new pedestrian refuge is proposed as part of the proposed upgrade to the Dianella Court intersection.
…so chose to do so, they could provide affordable community housing on that land with a new development application?
They would need a new development application and at that type of scale, it would still need to go through impact assessment. But there are other avenues as well, as you know, for them to sort of, if affordable social housing is part of what they were to deliver on that. There's other avenues they can go through with the State as well.
…Act in perpetuity. So as long as the house stays is, it's protected. It's only where new development is proposed where the applicant has the requirement to lodge a superseded request if they want to do something else from what they currently have that requires material change. Of use, then that requires lodge an application, then that's considered out of the previous scheme.
…short-term accommodation in the tourist zones, not in the residential zones. Mandate that new development-- in medium and high density zones include units, not single homes. Review the tourist zones to consider if some may be more appropriate as high density zones. This helps create more permanent versus tourist accommodation. Adding some incentives to developers to include 20%…
…ignores the statutory right of all existing utilities. What the proposals are is for new development, for redevelopment, is that we're not the mikanetsu residential zone into a zone where people build new mansions. We're trying to turn it into a zone that is allocated to achieve the sort of housing that is in considerable demand in Noosa. Fact that one- or two-bedroom units to …
…that is going to be live music. Double glazing for the residential properties in the new development within Noosa Junction because they know there's going to be music there.
…and can't do with an other change. So whilst another change application is similar to a new development application, it's to focus on the changes. To that existing development approval. So our job is to identify the planning issues that arise from the changes compared to that existing development approval. So it's not a fresh application even though it has gone through a whole …
…and that's what we've looked at. So on our basis, in our assessment, the existing, the new development compared to the existing footprint has been reduced. We've got more areas open space, we've got more retention of vegetation, we have less number of units and we've got less GFA. We've reviewed the current proposal, the final proposal against the Planning Scheme and basically …
…environmental outlays. I can just speak further on this. The proposed amendments will provide a new development assessment process where a development application will be assessed by the State government rather than the local government. To bypass Noosa Council development proposal must include an affordable housing component equal to at least 15% of all promise. Because the ap…
…end of financial year but we have noticed that we're not getting as many of those big new development applications coming in right this moment and obviously that's showing on our bottom line at the moment.
