General Committee Meeting - 13 July 2020
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 Manager Development Assessment to the General Committee Meeting dated 13 July 2020 regarding Planning & Environment Court Appeal No. BD1605 of 2020 and: A. Agree to allow the appeal as the proposed changes to the subdivision plan would be an improved outcome for the site in comparison with the approved subdivision plan given the changes reduce the development’s footprint and number of lots from 52 to 40; and B. Note that in relation to the four other current Planning & Environment appeals over the site, allowing this appeal would not undermine these appeals or Council’s position that further any subdivision of the land is inappropriate and fundamentally conflicts with the Noosa Plan and the State’s planning requirements for the site.

Carried unanimously. The minutes do not name who voted which way.
