General Committee Meeting - 18 April 2017
This meeting predates council's current meetings system, which begins in April 2023, so there is no agenda here with each item cued to the video. What follows is what the record holds: council's papers, and the decisions its minutes record.
Papers
Council keeps papers from before April 2023 on a separate archive page for each year, listed by meeting date. The files stay on council's site — why.
- Agenda: council's 2017 archive, under 18 April
- Minutes: council's 2017 archive, under 18 April
Decisions
Every decision the minutes record, in the order minuted. Where a division was called the names are on the contested votes register; otherwise the minutes say only whether it carried.
- Submission to Proposal by Eco Camp Pty Ltd to Reclassify Fish Habitat Area at Elanda Point
-

That Council note the report by the Environment Officer (Rivers and Coast) to the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 April 2017 and request the Chief Executive Officer make a submission, as outlined in Attachment 3 of the Report, to the Marine Resource Management section of the Department of National Parks, Sport and Racing on the proposal by Eco Camp Pty Ltd to request a downgrade of approximately 2.6 ha of declared Fish Habitat Area at Elanda Point from a management A area to a management B area with the inclusion of additional arguments as follows: A. Great Sandy Management Plan The proposal aims to facilitate infrastructure and commercial uses which are inconsistent with the objectives and future management vision of the Great Sandy Management Plan (esp. Strategy 3) and are inconsistent with the 'Natural' Recreation Opportunity Setting (ROS) for the Location. Specifically, the envisaged infrastructure and use proposed by the applicant: 1. is more suited to an 'Intensive Recreation' or 'Urban' ROS class; 2. will introduce conflict between participants in different activities or pursuits currently supported by the 'Natural' ROS setting; and 3. will disrupt the recreational experience of lake users and their enjoyment of the closeness to nature and tranquillity envisaged in a 'Natural' setting. B. Declared Fish Habitat Strategy The proposal fails to provide any meaningful form of compensation for the downgrading as is expected (see p11 of strategy).
Moved by Brian Stockwell, seconded by Tony Wellington.
Carried. The minutes do not name who voted which way, which they only had to when a division was called.

That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 April 2017 regarding Application No. OPW16/0189 for a Development Permit for Operational Works for Prescribed Tidal Works – Extension to an Existing Deck situated at 290 Gympie Terrace Noosaville and: request a reviewed report to the Ordinary Meeting with an alternative motion to approve the application, which would include the following conditions: A. That the Prescribed Tidal Works are to be used for the purpose of providing access to vessels and the ancillary lawful marine purposes conducted within the subject lease; B. That the approval makes it clear that operational works approval in no way sanctions the use of the decks for a Type 1 Food and Beverage Business (i.e. café with dining facilities for 10 or more people) or other uses requiring prior approval under the planning scheme; and C. That the approval be issued on the grounds that the existing minor works constructed are consistent with: 1. the Overall Outcomes of the Watercourse Works Code (14.161), and 2. the relevant specific outcomes listed in the Watercourse Works Code with respect to: a) Siting (14.163) b) Character and Amenity (14.164) c) Design Construction & Safety (14.165 & .168) A. Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposed works are contrary to the Noosaville Locality Code as the works are for non-marine commercial purposes that will result in an increase in the overall scale and intensity of commercial operations on and adjacent to the Noosa River; 2. The proposed works are contrary to the Watercourses Works Code as the works are not for the sole purpose of providing access to vessels and the applicant has not demonstrated clear public benefit and support for the works; and 3. The proposed works are contrary to the IDAS Code for Prescribed Tidal Works as the proposal does not make any provision towards car parking facilities. B. Advise the applicant that a Material Change of Use is required for the cafe to operate from the premises and that Council will give further consideration to the decks at the time the Material Change of Use application is lodged and once community consultation is undertaken for the Noosaville Foreshore Land Use Master Plan.

The proposed use, defined as a Detached House under The Noosa Plan is an inconsistent use in a Visitor Mixed Use zone and is contrary to the Overall Outcomes of the Noosa North Shore Locality Code and the strategic intent of The Noosa Plan, which seeks to protect substantial key sites for visitor accommodation, with the subject site identified as one of the key sites; 2. The non-protection of substantial key sites for visitor accommodation will adversely impact upon a viable tourism economy for Noosa; 3. The proposal is likely to result in poor amenity for permanent residents and may create negative experiences for visitors to the resort, given the potential conflicts between permanent residents and visitors; 4. The proposal has the potential to increase pressure to provide additional infrastructure and services on the Noosa North Shore, contrary to The Noosa Plan and Local Government Infrastructure Plan; and 5. The applicant does not provide sufficient grounds to justify the conflict with the Planning Scheme and the proposal will not result in any significant benefits to the community.
