Noosa Council Watch

An independent, unofficial record of Noosa Shire Council — what council decided, what they closed the doors on, and why it matters. About this site

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

Ordinary Meeting - 19 September 2019

Thursday 19 September 2019 · Ordinary Meeting · 10 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.

  10. OPW17/0150.01 Minor Change to Development Approval for Operational Works - Prescribed Tidal Works - Extension to Existing Jetty at 180 Gympie Terrace Noosaville
  11. That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 10 September 2019 regarding Application No. OPW17… Development Carried · 4–2

    That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 10 September 2019 regarding Application No. OPW17/0150.01 to make a minor change to an existing approval for extension to an existing jetty situated at Jetty 180 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville and A. Refuse the change for the following reasons: 1. The proposed works do not represent a minor change to the development approval because the change results in a substantially different development as it extends the use beyond the boundary of the lease and therefore results in the application applying to a new parcel of land. 2. The proposed works will result in a commercial activity outside the existing commercial lease area and have the potential to increase the overall scale and intensity of commercial operations contrary to the following provisions of the Noosaville Locality Code: (i) Overall Outcome 11.7.2(hh) as it will not protect the Noosa River and foreshores from the cumulative impacts of development; (ii) Specific Outcome O27(d) and (f), O28 and O29; 3. The proposed development is contrary to Specific Outcome O5 (a) and (b) of the Waterway Works Code as the works are contained outside the boundaries of the existing lot and the berthing of vessels encroaches over the boundaries of the lot. 4. The proposal is contrary to Schedule 3 of the Coastal Protection and Management Regulation 2017 as certification that the completed works comply with the requirements of the regulation has not been provided. 5. The proposal is contrary to Performance Outcomes P03 and P09 of the Waterways Works Code of the draft New Noosa Plan whereby all commercial activities for a jetty are to be confined to the commercial lease areas of the respective commercial operation. B. Advise the applicant that the structure must be modified to comply with the Development Permit for Operational Works (OPW17/015) and approved plans within 6 months. C. Write to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy and request that the Department review the current commercial operations of Jetty 180 to ensure compliance with the current lease conditions. D. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
