Ordinary Meeting - 17 September 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 8 September 2020 regarding Application No. 51988.2849.03 to make a minor change to an existing approval for Multiple Dwelling of 20 units, 8 Shops and 2 Restaurants situated at Noosa On The Beach, 49 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads and: A. Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposal is not consistent with the overall and specific outcomes of the Noosa Heads Locality Code under the Noosa Plan 2006 as: a. the proposed works will adversely impact on main beach being a key recreation focal point for residents and visitors b. an inadequate building setback to the beach is proposed and the proposal reduces the soft landscaping on site c. the proposed works do not represent the high level of design and landscape quality that is sought for the area d. the reduced setback to the beach potentially increases the risk of damage to the property from future coastal processes e. The proposed works contribute additional site cover exceeding the maximum site cover sought for the area and present excessive bulk to main beach 2. The proposal is contrary to the Driveways and Car parking Code as sufficient car parking has not been provided on site to accommodate the number of vehicles likely to be generated by the increase and improvements to the dining areas. 3. The proposal is contrary to the Noosa Plan 2020 provisions for setbacks, site cover and car parking. 4. The proposal is not considered a minor change to the development approval as the proposed changes will dramatically change the approved built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance. 5. The proposal does not comply with probable solution S51.2 in proposing to increase the use area in excess of 300m2. 6. Proposes to place new structures in an area of high coastal risk and in an area identified as subject to flood inundation in the Natural Hazards Overlay of the Noosa Plan 2020. B. Note that Council relies on the following reasons for varying from the staff recommendation: 1. The built form is not a minor change to the overall scale and bulk of the existing development. 2. That the application seeks to sanction unapproved ‘creep’ of commercial uses and structures into a location where there is a long standing planning intent to maintain private open space. 3. Council differs from staff opinion in relation to Specific Outcome 8; and is of the view that the proposal detrimentally impacts on the visual and acoustic amenity and of beach users and adjoining and nearby premises. 4. Council is not prepared to accept a contribution in lieu of the shortfall of car parks spaces on site.
