Council Resolution (OM25/62)

Moved: Councillor T Bunnag

Seconded: Councillor W Johnston

That Council:

(a) receive and note the report titled “Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises to Establish a Food and Drink Outlet, Short Term Accommodation and Multiple Dwelling Units - 698-706 David Low Way and 11-13 Menzies Dr Pacific Paradise”; and

(b) REFUSE application No. MCU23/0238, for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises to Establish a Food and Drink Outlet, Short Term Accommodation, Multiple Dwelling situated at 698-706 David Low Way and 11-13 Menzies Dr Pacific Paradise for the following reasons:

1. The proposed development conflicts with the following provisions of the Strategic Framework in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, in particular Section 3.8. Community identity, character, and social inclusion:

(a) 3.8.1 - Strategic Outcome (m), because the loss of community open space will not meet the identity, character and social inclusion needs of the local or wider community because:

(i) the proposed development will not protect the existing community sport and recreational facility on the site;

(ii) it involves using sport and recreation zoned land for non-sport and recreational uses;

(iii) the non-sport recreational uses are for residential units;

(iv) it will restrict the future use of the site for a community facility / recreation purpose; and

(v) it does not demonstrate that the current sport and recreation land that will be lost as a result of the proposed development can be relocated elsewhere within the locality.

(b) Section 3.8.3 Element 2, Sub-tropical character and locally responsive design, Specific outcome (c)(vi), because the proposed development contributes to an urban design outcome that results in the loss of community open space and will not provide a healthy and safe environment that supports community activity, participation, and healthy lifestyles.

(c) Section 3.8.3 Element 2, Sub-tropical character and locally responsive design, Specific outcome (d), the proposed height of the buildings does not recognise the distinctive character and amenity of the Sunshine Coast as a place with a predominantly low-medium rise built form.

(d) Section 3.8.6 Element 5, Open space and sport and recreation facilities, Specific outcome (a), the proposed development removes a sport and recreation facility that contributes to active living and the outdoor lifestyle enjoyed by residents and visitors to the Sunshine Coast.

2. The proposed development conflicts with the following provisions of the Sport and recreation zone code in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, in particular:

(a) Overall Outcome (2)(h) as it does not protect Sport and recreation zoned land from the intrusion of incompatible land uses that may compromise or conflict with the primary use of the sport and recreation open space;

(b) Overall Outcome 2(j) as the scale, intensity and built form of development is not compatible with the existing and intended scale and character of the surrounding area;

(c) Overall Outcome 2(m), as the development does not protect and enhance the open space character and amenity of the sport and recreation area.

3. The proposed development conflicts with the following provisions of the Height of buildings and structures overlay code in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014; in particular:

(a) Overall outcome (2)(a), and PO1(a) as the development provides for the height of buildings and structures that does not comply with specified height limits;

(b) Overall outcome (2)(c) the proposed height of buildings and structures is not consistent with the reasonable expectations of the local community.

4. Further to paragraphs 1 to 3 above, to the extent that the development application conflicts with the Planning Scheme, there are no sufficient grounds to justify the approval of the development application despite the conflict.

5. There are no discretionary matters which warrant approval of the proposed development.

For: Councillor R Natoli, Councillor J Broderick, Councillor T Burns, Councillor W Johnston, Councillor C Dickson, Councillor E Hungerford, Councillor T Bunnag, Councillor M Suarez and Councillor D Law.

Against: Councillor T Landsberg and Councillor J Natoli.

(iii) Further request that the Queensland Government provide guidance on appropriate sea level rise benchmarks for low-likelihood, high-impact sea level rise scenarios, as outlined in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report for both:

(1) statutory planning processes; and

(2) design considerations for council owned assets and infrastructure

(d) endorse the motion that calls on the Federal Government to expand financial support for local governments in fire ant eradication and suppression treatment areas to include resources for meeting general biosecurity obligations

(f) endorse the motion that calls on the State Government to investigate and develop options for managing the storage of recreational vehicles on roads, addressing safety, parking capacity and amenity concerns; and

(g) forward the motions to the Local Government Association for inclusion in the 2025 Annual Conference agenda.

Ordinary Meeting Minutes 24 July 2025

11.1 Confidential - not for public release - Acquisition of Land - Buderim

File No: F2020/86062

Author: Principal Property Officer

Business Performance Group

In preparing this report, the Chief Executive Officer recommends it be considered confidential in accordance with Section 254J (3) (h) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 as it contains information relating to negotiations relating to the taking of land by the local government under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (Qld) (the Act).

This report is confidential in respect to the content and timeframes of negotiations with land owners and recognising that, until a voluntary acquisition is settled or a compulsory land acquisition is gazetted, the acquisition has no certainty.

Public disclosure at this time would potentially impact adversely on the negotiation process and Council’s ability to secure the land parcels at market value. Further, it would potentially impact the compulsory land acquisition process under the Act by prematurely releasing sensitive planning information that is still subject to change instead of as part of the resumption process under the Act, which formally commences with the serving of a Notice of Intention to Resume and associated background information, current at that time, to affected land owners.

Council Resolution (OM25/68)

Moved: Councillor E Hungerford

Seconded: Councillor T Burns

That Council:

(a) delegate to the Chief Executive Officer authority to commence the process under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 to acquire approximately 25m² from Lot 24 on RP226367

(b) note that if there is an objection to a Notice of Intention to Resume, a report on the objection will be presented to Council for it to consider and decide whether Council should amend the Notice of Intention to Resume, discontinue the resumption or make an application to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development to take the land under section 9 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967

(c) if no objections are received, delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make an application to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development to take the land under section 9 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967

(d) delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to settle claims for compensation if the land is compulsorily acquired and

(e) authorise the Chief Executive Officer to publicly release details in relation to the acquisition of the land parcel identified in this report, once the transfer of ownership of land to Sunshine Coast Regional Council has registered with Titles Queensland.

Carried unanimously.

Councillor C Dickson was absent for the discussion and vote on this item.

11.2 Confidential - not for public release - Disposal (lease) to State of Queensland in Caloundra

File No: F2025/24424

Author: Coordinator Strategic Property

Business Performance Group

In preparing this report, the Chief Executive Officer recommends it be considered confidential in accordance with Section 254J (3) (g) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 as it contains information relating to negotiations relating to a commercial matter involving the local government for which a public discussion would be likely to prejudice the interests of the local government.

This matter is confidential as it concerns an ongoing commercial negotiation and public disclosure at this time would potentially impact adversely on the negotiation process and on achieving an outcome that represents the best value for the ratepayers of the region.

This report contains a recommendation to release details containing the site location and revenue from the lease disposal once negotiations have been finalised and the lease has been registered with the Titles Registry.

Council Resolution (OM25/69)

Moved: Councillor T Landsberg

Seconded: Councillor T Bunnag

That Council:

(a) delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to finalise the disposal of the land parcel in Caloundra identified in this report

(b) resolve, pursuant to s236(2) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 (the Regulation), that the proposed disposal of Council land to the State of Queensland meets the exception criteria of s236(1)(b)(i) of the Regulation which removes the requirement for a council to dispose of land (by way of grant of lease) by tender or auction if the disposal is to a government agency

(c) dispose of land (by way of grant of lease) located at (part of) Lot 240 on RP8424; Lots 10-13 on RP131467; and Lot 601 on CG4252 and

(d) authorise the Chief Executive Officer to publicly release details relating to the Lease once the negotiations have been finalised and the lease fully executed.

For: Councillor R Natoli, Councillor J Broderick, Councillor T Landsberg, Councillor T Burns, Councillor W Johnston, Councillor E Hungerford, Councillor T Bunnag, Councillor M Suarez and Councillor D Law.

Against: Councillor J Natoli.

Carried.
