Ordinary Meeting - 18 March 2021
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.

Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposed development is not consistent with the SEQ Regional Plan and would result in a high-density residential development within an area which contains ecological values and is not included within the planning scheme's urban growth boundaries. 2. The proposed development is contrary to State Planning Policy as it would irreversibly impact on good agricultural land. Noosa Plan 2006 Strategic Framework 3. The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcome 3.1.3 (a) as it would result in the fragmentation of agricultural land and would not conserve land for agricultural purposes. 4. The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcome 3.1.3 (h) as it would result in the loss of land intended to accommodate recreational activities for the community. 5. The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcome 3.1.3 (j) as it would result in residential uses outside of the urban growth boundary and is inconsistent with the character and amenity of the locality where conservation and agricultural type land uses are expected. Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code 6. The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 6.7.2 a) (i) and (iv), c), d), r), s), y), cc), gg), rr) and ss) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O7, O8, O9, O10, O15, O18, O19, O20, O25, O27, O81, O82 and O88 as it would: i. result in high density residential development outside of the Urban Growth Boundary which is not consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan; ii. utilise Rural zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing which is an inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be maintained for its rural character and use for agricultural activities; iii. utilise Open Space Recreation zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing which is an inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be used for recreational purposes; iv. utilise rural land intended to be protected and managed to preserve the scenic and environmental values of the area; v. not preserve agricultural land, conserve open space for biodiversity and water quality purposes or provide development at a density consistent with the site's environmental constraints and proximity to the Lake Macdonald water supply catchment; vi. result in a design that does not minimise cut and fill;. vii. result in adverse impacts on the site's environmental values; viii. potentially impact upon the water quality of Lake Macdonald; ix. result in a detrimental impact on the scenic vista from the major road network and the entry into Cooroy township; x. result in a built form that does not complement traditional streetscape and building forms, including a club house with a height that will dominate surrounding spaces and the existing skyline; xi. result in parts of the development being located too close to Myall Street and would not be consistent with the streetscape; xii. have excessive site cover that results in excessive bulk which is not compatible with surrounding development; and xiii. have the potential to impact on the acoustic amenity of the surrounding area, as no acoustic measures are proposed to be implemented for the new golf club house. Residential Uses Code 7. The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.44.2 a), b) and j) and Specific Outcomes O7, O16, O17 and O36 as: i. internal driveways are too narrow to satisfactorily accommodate internal traffic movements; ii. it is proposed on land that is not suited to the development of residential buildings; iii. it is not consistent with the character of the neighbourhood; iv. it does not maximise the use of the natural topography and minimise the need for cut and fill; and v. it is not located within reasonable proximity to a variety of essential services. Biodiversity Overlay Code 8. The proposed development fails to meet Overall Outcomes 13.7.2 a), b), c), d) (i), (ii), (iii) and (v), e) and g) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O4, O5, O6, O8, O9, O10, O14, O15, O18 and O19 as it would result in the removal of significant vegetation and intrude into the site’s riparian buffer. Water Sensitive Design Code 9. The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.157.2 a) and b) as it: i. is not designed and could not be constructed in a manner that does not impede, long term attainment of relevant Environmental Values and Water Quality Objectives as specified in the Environmental Protection Policy 2009; and ii. proposes infrastructure within the riparian zone and an extent of cut and fill that is likely to create adverse impacts on downstream ecosystems, properties and infrastructure due to changes to stormwater flow, water quality or ecosystem health. Natural Hazards and Natural Resources Overlay Code 10. The proposed development proposes development within the Water Supply Catchment which may result in adverse effects on the quality of water entering Lake Macdonald contrary to Specific Outcome O11.

The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific Outcome O7 and O8 as: i. sufficient visitor parking is not provided and appropriately located for visitors of the Retirement and Special Needs use; ii. sufficient parking is not provided for the golf club house; and iii. internal driveways are too narrow to satisfactorily accommodate internal traffic movement. 12. The proposed development's built form and landscaping are not consistent with the preferred character within Cooroy and will result in an appearance of excessive bulk, limited landscaping and continual roof form. Noosa Plan 2020 13. Noosa Plan 2020 has identified that it can meet the requirements for residential accommodation until 2041 within the current Urban Growth Boundary. The proposed development has failed demonstrate a significant planning need to develop outside of these boundaries, nor any overriding community benefit which would justify approval despite its conflict with the Planning Scheme and relevant State Planning Policies. 14. In preparing the Noosa Plan 2020 and in reviewing submissions pertaining to this property Council considered the development potential and suitability of this site and it determined that despite its inclusion within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan, commitment of the land for urban purposes was neither necessary nor appropriate. 15. The proposed development is not consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 which seek that the land is developed for rural residential purposes. 16. The proposed development does not comply with the overall outcomes sought by the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code in Noosa Plan 2020 as it: i. is not designed, sited, nor could it be constructed in a way that avoids adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, ecological systems and processes; ii. does not propose to conserve, manage, enhance nor rehabilitate to protect and improve biodiversity, ecosystem health, landscape stability and resilience of ecological linkages and riparian vegetation; iii. is not designed nor proposes a layout that provides for the protection and establishment of appropriate buffers to waterways, wetlands, native vegetation and significant fauna habitat; iv. does not protect and enhance the terrestrial and aquatic native flora and fauna and their habitats; and v. does not propose landscaping for the rehabilitation of ecologically important areas, degraded ecosystems and habitats to achieve a functional and healthy ecosystem state that requires minimal human intervention. 17.
