8.0       ASSESMENT AGAINST THE NOOSA PLAN
8.1 Level of Assessment and Zone

The site is located in the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald locality plan and is identified as being within
the Community Services and Rural zones as seen in the zone map below.




                                             Site




                                                    Zone Map

As per the table of development (Material Change of Use) of the Community Services Zone of the
Noosa Plan, Multiple Housing - Type 3 Retirement and Special Needs is listed as a code assessable
consistent land use and therefore contemplated within this Zone. However, due to the inclusion of a
Rural Lot, it becomes an Impact Assessable application.

In response to the specific character statement and overall outcomes for the locality, the proposal
aligns with the intent of the physical setting, infrastructure provision and communities need. The
proposal provides a residential land use that meets the housing needs of the community through
catering for an ageing population. A small portion the development site is zoned rural, nonetheless
the proposal has sufficient merit despite the conflict with the zone.

8.2 Overlays

The proposal is affected by the following overlays:

      -   Watercourse and drainage lines; and
      -   Gas Pipeline and Easement Buffers.

It is considered that the development generally complies with the planning scheme provisions
relating to the overlays. The development maintains sufficient buffer distance from the pipeline and
