Noosa Council meetings since 2014: papers, decisions and recordings, and from April 2023 the video cued to each item.

Ordinary Meeting - 15 August 2019

Thursday 15 August 2019 · Ordinary Meeting · 26 decisions minuted

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, the recording, 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.

    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting dated 12 August 2019 regarding Application No. DBW19/0018 for a Development Application for Building Works for a Detached House, situated at 54 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach and: A. Refuse Application No. DBW19/0018 for a Development Permit for Development Permit for Building Work - Detached House (Coastal Protection), situated at 54 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach 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 and presents an unacceptable risk to people and property from coastal processes, including the projected impacts of climate change. 2. The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the Planning Scheme in that it proposes development: a. in the Landslide Hazard Area thereby placing people and property at risk and does not maintain the natural processes and protection function of land forms and vegetation contrary to the provisions of the Building Works Code. b. that is not sited to minimise risk to users, contrary to the Building Works Code. c. in the Coastal Protection Area extending seaward of the Coastal Building Line and is likely to adversely impact upon natural coastal processes contrary to the requirements of Schedule 1 of Noosa Plan and the Natural Resources Code. d. which does not protect the dunal area and natural environmental nor maintain the safety of people and works contrary to the Overall Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality. 3. The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the draft Planning Scheme in that it proposes development: a. in the Coastal Protection Area extending seaward of the Coastal Building line and does not allow for natural fluctuations of the coast and foreshore to occur, including allowance of climate change. b. which has not been sited to minimise the risk from coastal processes as the development has not been located as far landward as practicable to ensure people and property are not at risk from coastal hazards and avoid the need for additional coastal protection works. 4. 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. 5. 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. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016. Cr Jackson called for a division on the voting. The motion was carried 4/1.
