Ordinary Meeting Minutes 23 February 2023
11.1 Confidential - not for public release - Land Acquisitions Maroochy River
File No: F22/00156
Author: Head of Strategic Property
Business Performance Group
The Chief Executive Officer recommended this report be considered
confidential in accordance with section 254J(3)(h) of the Local Government
Regulation 2012 (Qld) because it contains information on negotiations
relating to the taking of land by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (Council)
under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (Qld). Furthermore, the
report contains information relating to Council’s planning for the
recreation precinct, which is subject to change. The publication of this
information could adversely affect Council’s ongoing negotiations with
landowners and the finalisation of Council’s land
acquisitions.
This report is confidential in respect to the content and timeframes of
negotiations with landowners and recognising that, until a voluntary
acquisition is settled or a compulsory 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
acquisition process under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (Qld) by
releasing sensitive planning information that is still subject to change
prematurely instead of as part of the resumption process under the Acquisition
of Land Act 1967 (Qld), which formally commences with the serving of a
Notice of Intention to Resume and associated background information, current at
that time, on affected landowners.
Notwithstanding the Chief Executive’s recommendation that this report be
confidential, members of the public may be able to access this report under the
Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld). Requests to access this
report under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) would be assessed
on a case by case basis against the exemptions established under section
47(3)(a) and schedule 3 to the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld), or
the ‘public interest exemption test’ established under section 49
and schedule 4 of the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld).
Council Resolution (OM23/21) Seconded: Councillor C Dickson That Council: (a) note that Council Resolution SM21/1 authorised the Chief Executive Officer to commence negotiations to acquire: (i) Lot 1 on RP887967 (ii) Lot 4 on RP887967 and (iii) Lot 11 on SP142743 (b) authorise the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate the purchase of Lot 2 on RP803641 (c) delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to commence the process under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 to compulsorily acquire the following land for purposes relating to recreation grounds (nature-based recreation precinct) and incidental purposes (including short-term accommodation, commercial bike hire, a cafe, community open space and mountain bike event staging): (i) Lot 1 on RP887967 (ii) Lot 4 on RP887967 (iii) approximately 203,644m² of Lot 2 on RP803641 (and balance land if requested by the landowner) and (iv) approximately 64,440m² of Lot 11 on SP142743 (and balance land if requested by the landowner) (together, the Land) (d) 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 to take the land under section 9 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (e) if no objections are received, delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make an application to the Minister for Resources to take the Land under section 9 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (f) delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to settle the claims for compensation if the land is compulsorily acquired and (g) refer a funding request to the next Budget review for the land acquisitions.

Councillor M Jamieson and Councillor W Johnston were absent for the discussion and vote on this item.

The next Ordinary Meeting will be held on 23 March 2023 in the Sunshine Coast City Hall Chamber, 54 First Avenue, Maroochydore.
The meeting closed at 2:55pm.
Confirmed 23 March 2023.
