General Committee Meeting - 14 March 2022
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 change for the following reasons: 1. The proposed change does not constitute a minor change to the development approval as the change in hours will increase the severity of known amenity impacts and likely attract further submissions objecting to the change were the application to be publicly notified given the site’s proximity to residential properties. 2. The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcomes 2 (d) & (h) and Performance Outcome PO11 & PO24 of the Business Activities Code as the proposed hours will adversely impact on nearby resident’s amenity. 3. The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcome 2(m) and Performance Outcome PO42 of the District Centre Zone Code as the proposed change in hours will impact the amenity of nearby residential premises as nearby residents would not reasonably expect the service to be operational at this time. 4. The proposed illuminated signage does not comply with Specific Outcome AO7 and Overall Outcome O7 of the Advertising Devices Code within the Noosa Plan 2006 as it proposes more than one illuminated sign and is not compatible with the visual amenity of the surrounding area. 5. The proposed additional illuminated signage is not consistent with provisions of the Local Law signage requirements as the proposal exceeds the maximum number of signs permitted to be illuminated and is prohibited by the Local Law. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016. C. Request the CEO to convene a Councillor workshop for Councillors, to allow the review and further discussion regarding the signage laws and associated policies.
