Town Planning Assessment Report · OPW26/0133

1.0​SUMMARY
1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The subject land is located at 20 Elizabeth Street, Noosaville. The applicant is applying for a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use to establish a Dual Occupancy and Operational
Works (associated Engineering and Landscape Works). The application follows formal approval from
Noosa Council to apply a superseded planning scheme (Noosa Plan 2020 - Amendment 1) to the
proposed development (Council ref: SPS26/0002).

The subject land is located in the Medium density residential zone and is also subject to the locally
refined requirements of the Noosaville local plan area. The applicant has consulted experts in design,
landscaping and civil engineering. Specialist reports and plans are attached and confirm that the
proposed development complies with local planning scheme codes and State regulations, with
suitable alternative solutions provided, where required, to satisfy all performance-based outcomes
being sought.

The site currently contains an existing dwelling house and associated structures, which will be
demolished in order to develop the proposed development. In brief, the proposal is for a two storey
development not exceeding 8 metres in height. The development will make a positive contribution to
the streetscape, proposing varying external building features and finishes, high quality landscaping
and an appealing street address. The project scale is consistent with surrounding residential
development and will maximise casual surveillance to the street through the orientation of private
open space areas and window placement. Surrounding the building are several landscaped deep
planting areas that soften the built form.
