Ordinary Meeting - 20 August 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.

That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 9 June 2020 regarding Application No. MCU19/0117 for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Visitor Accommodation - Type 3 Rural, situated at Beach Road Holiday 500/90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore and: A. Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposed development is not for Visitor Accommodation - Type 3 Rural as defined under the Noosa Plan because: a) a Detached house and Entertainment and Dining Business Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness are proposed on the site; b) alternatively a Detached house and an undefined use is proposed; c) the proposed lagoon/wave pool does not constitute an ‘ancillary use’; and d) the proposal does not have a direct connection with the environmental or scenic values of site. 2. The proposed development is for: a) a Detached house, being an inconsistent use in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone under the Noosa North Shore Locality Plan and requiring impact assessment; and b) Entertainment and dining business - Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness, being an inconsistent use in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone under the Noosa North Shore Locality Plan and requiring impact assessment or c) Alternatively an undefined use requiring impact assessment. 3. The proposal does not comply with the Strategic Framework and Community Vision or the Desired Environmental Outcomes of The Noosa Plan for visitor facilities and tourism in Noosa, as: a) the proposed accommodation does not support a range of accommodation styles on the Noosa North Shore, is limited to one dwelling unit and is likely to undermine the planning scheme’s strategy to limit visitor accommodation on the Noosa North Shore to key identified sites contrary to 1.7.8 c) of the Strategic Framework and 3.1.3 k) of the Desired Environmental Outcomes; and b) the proposed lagoon/wave pool is at odds with the natural setting, is not low key and does not facilitate education and interpretation of the natural environment, and instead relies on built infrastructure as the tourist attraction contrary to 1.7.8 d) of the Strategic Plan and 3.1.3 k) of the Desired Environmental Outcomes. 4. The proposal does not comply with the Overall Outcomes a), e), g), h), r), s), u), and oo) and Specific Outcomes O1 and O9 of the Noosa North Shore Locality Code, as the proposal: a) is not directly related to recreational experiences offered in the locality, which are based around the area’s natural environment; b) is not consistent with maintaining the locality’s remote setting and undeveloped character being an area largely dedicated to conservation; c) is likely to adversely impact on the amenity of visitors and residents on the Noosa North Shore; d) is not secondary to its open space setting with a very low intensity and scale of operation; e) will undermine the ability of the North Shore to offer visitor accommodation; f) is likely to require a large number of water tankers to initially fill and continue to top up the wave pool which will impact on other ferry users and residents along the road access; and g) would result in significant adverse impacts on biodiversity, native vegetation, native fauna habitat, landscape quality, and ground water quality as a result of clearing, excavation and waste water disposal. 5. The proposal does not comply with the Overall Outcomes a) and c) and Specific Outcomes O3, and O35 of the Visitor Accommodation Code, as the proposal: a) is not of a scale and nature complementary and respectful to its surroundings, has not been designed to integrate with the natural landscape setting and will result in adverse environmental impacts; b) is not compatible with and does not promote the natural environment. 6. The proposal does not comply with the Overall Outcomes a), b) c), d) and g) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O4, O7, O8, O11, O14, O15, O16, O18 and O19 of the Biodiversity Overlay Code, as the proposal would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment as a result of: a) clearing of threatened species habitat of high value regrowth vegetation; b) the potential to pollute a wetland with high ecological values through waste water disposal. 7. The development proposal is inconsistent with the 2020 Noosa Plan, in which the land is zoned tourist accommodation, the provisions of which seek to restrict the subject land for visitor accommodation and to preserve the amenity of the area and natural vegetation in a similar manner to the 2006 Noosa Plan. 8. Since the time of lodgement of the development application the State mapping has been updated, the subject land being now mapped as a koala priority area and core koala habitat area in which development is prohibited under the Planning Regulation 2017 to the extent it interferes with koala habitat. 9. There is no significant economic or town planning need for the proposed development. 10. There are no discretionary matters which would warrant approval of the proposed development. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016. C. Note the application was lodged under the Noosa Plan 2006, which was superseded by the Noosa Plan 2020, which commenced on 31 July 2020. All references to the ‘Noosa Plan’ or ‘the planning scheme’ within the assessment report is in reference to the now superseded Noosa Plan 2006.
