General Committee Meeting - 17 December 2018
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 2018 archive, under 17 December
- Minutes: council's 2018 archive, under 17 December
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.
- 51987.2951.01 - Minor Change to a Development Approval for Additions to a Detached House to Include a Swimming Pool, Deck and Other Structures Seaward of the Coastal Building Line Situated at 42 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach

That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 December 2018 regarding Application No. 51987.2951.01 to make a minor change to an existing approval for additions to a detached house to include a swimming pool, deck and other structures seaward of the coastal building line situated at 42 Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach and: A. Refuse the change for the following reasons: 1. The proposal is in conflict with the assessment benchmarks of the State Planning Policy as it proposes development in an Erosion Prone Area and Natural Hazard Area. 2. Development seaward of the Coastal Building Line is contrary to the building setbacks contained in the Planning Scheme and the setback provided under State Code 8; Coastal Development and Tidal Works of the State development assessment provisions. 3. Recent modelling carried out by the Council indicates significant erosion is likely to occur in the future which may threaten life and property should the proposed development proceed. 1.4. The proposal does not comply with the Planning Scheme in force at the time of the original approval, given the extent of excavation and vegetation removal in a sand dune area. 2.5. The proposal does not comply with the Natural Resources Overlay Code for Coastal Protection as it has the potential to adversely impact on natural coastal processes. 3.6. Given the site is affected by the Coastal Building Line and is located in a highly vulnerable erosion prone area, the proposed 6m setback is not sufficient to minimise the risk of erosion. 7. The proposal does not comply with the Biodiversity Overlay Code as vegetation is proposed to be removed within the Environmental Protection Overlay placing the integrity and resilience of the foreshore at risk. 4.8. The proposal is contrary to the Overall Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality as it does not protect the dunal area and natural environment nor maintain the safety of people and works. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016. RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 17 DECEMBER 2018
