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 - 16 September 2021

Thursday 16 September 2021 · Ordinary Meeting · 21 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.

    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting dated 13 September 2021 regarding Application No. MCU21/0013 & OPW21/0031 for a Material Change of Use - Multiple dwelling units (Small Dwelling units x 19), Food and Drink outlet, Indoor Sport and Recreation, Health Care Service, Office and Operational Works for Stormwater Management, Access, Parking, Earth Works & Frontage works, situated at 30 and 32 Doonella St, Tewantin and A. Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcomes 7.2.3.2 (2) (e), (h) & (j) and PO8, PO9, PO11 of the Tewantin Local Plan Code as: 1.1 The proposal is predominantly residential dwelling units and will therefore erode the availability of centre zoned land for commercial activities and the ability to provide employment into the future. 1.2 The proposal does not provide sufficient business opportunities consistent with that required for the Tewantin town centre. 1.3 The proposal includes retail activities fronting Doonella Street. 2. The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 6.4.2.2 (2) (a), (d), (e) & (m) and PO1, PO2, PO39 of the District Centre Zone Code as: 2.1 The proposal provides limited potential to provide services and employment consistent with the District Centre’s role and function. 2.2 The development does not provide sufficient commercial floor area to contribute positively to the economic activity and vibrancy required of a centre zone. 2.3 The development is primarily residential and does not satisfactorily support the predominant business function of the centre. 2.4 The proposed Food and Drink Outlet has the potential to adversely impact on the amenity of the surrounding residential uses. 3. The proposed development is not consistent with the proposed planning scheme amendments to provide for social housing and therefore does not offer any significant community benefit that would warrant approval of the development. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
