Council Resolution (OM24/67) Seconded: Councillor J Natoli That Council: (a) receive and note the report titled “Development Application - Material Change of Use to Establish a Shopping Centre (Full Line Supermarket) - 22 Palmwoods-Montville Road Palmwoods”, and (b) REFUSE Application MCU23/0178 & RAL23/0059 for a Material Change of Use of Premises to Establish a Shopping Centre (Full Line Supermarket) and Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 2 Lots and New Road), situated at 22 Palmwoods-Montville Rd, Palmwoods for the following reasons. i. The proposed development departs from the policy direction of the Strategic Framework for the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, in particular, the Strategic Intent and Theme 2 – Economic development, and the Strategic Outcomes and Specific Outcomes therein relating to activity centres and minimising dependency on private motor vehicle use, because: a. The proposed development represents a major out-of-centre development that would undermine the Sunshine Coast Activity Centre Network and would fragment the Palmwoods Local Activity Centre. The proposed development would draw retailing activity away from and outside of the Palmwoods Local Retail Activity Centre and would result in Palmwoods having a fragmented, disconnected and unwalkable centre, to the detriment of its character, identity, functionality and viability. b. The proposed development is not located or designed to increase walking and cycling or minimise dependency on private motor vehicle use or contribute to greater levels of self-containment. ii. The proposed development departs from Overall Outcomes (2) (c), (e), (f), (g) and (j), (n), PO3, PO4, PO18 (a), (d), (e), (g), and (i), of the Palmwoods local plan code, and, the Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1), (2) (a), (d)(i), (ii), (iii), and (vi), (e) (i) and (ii), (i), (j) and (q) of the Medium density residential zone code, because: a. The proposal would result in a significant loss of Medium density residential zoned land, and this loss would severely compromise the delivery of a mix of low and medium density residential activities for the Palmwoods area. b. The development would compromise the integrity of the Medium density residential zone because it would neither integrate with nor be compatible with intended future uses of medium density residential zoned land immediately to the east. c. The development is not sympathetic to the existing and intended scale and character of surrounding residential development, given the significant bulk and scale of the proposed built form and large commercial carpark addressing the street. d. The development is located in a residential zone where it is not intended to occur, and is not small scale and low intensity and is not compatible with the local residential character and amenity of the area. iii The proposed development departs from the Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) (a), (2) (c)(i), PO1(a), PO2 (a), (b), (c), (e), (h), and (l), PO3 (a) and (b), PO8, PO11 (a), (b), and (d), PO17, and PO20 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code, because: a. The proposal involves a particular arrangement of lots, including new road and drainage reserve, associated with the shopping centre use. The reconfiguration reflects the proposed development regardless of the surrounding uses and subdivision pattern. b. The proposed reconfiguration reflects the associated intended land use approval (supermarket). In the absence of a coincidental land use approval, the proposed reconfiguration would unnecessarily fragment the land and therefore has the potential to prejudice the future ability to develop the site in accordance with future planning policy and directions, including possible future infrastructure requirements. c. The proposed reconfiguration would constrain and prejudice the orderly development of the land for its planned residential purposes. iv. The departures from the assessment benchmarks above are not capable of being addressed or mitigated by conditions of approval. v. The departures from the assessment benchmarks support refusal of the proposed development. vi. Compliance with some assessment benchmarks and the submission of relevant matters advanced by the applicant should be given little weight and do not otherwise sufficiently support approval of the proposed development. vii. Refusal of the proposed development advances the purpose of the Planning Act 2016 because the development would not facilitate the achievement of ecological sustainability in that it fails to maintain the cultural, economic, physical and social wellbeing of people and communities.
