Development Assessment Report - 24 Eucalypt Way, Cootharaba · 151999.982601.3

2.      Introduction

This Development Assessment Report has been prepared in support of an application for a Minor
Change to Development Permit 151999.982601, which was approved by Council on 28 February
2002.


The Development Permit was for Reconfiguration of a Lot. The subject site comprises Lot 19 of
the approved subdivision. The development permit includes a condition requiring that all
buildings on the site be contained within the nominated building envelope, shown on the
approved plans. The applicant proposes to establish an ancillary secondary dwelling on the site,
located slightly outside the building envelope established as part of the Reconfiguring a lot
approval.


A dwelling house was established on the site in 2003. As such, the site contains lawfully
established existing use rights for a Dwelling House, as defined in the 1990 planning scheme,
which includes ‘such outbuildings as are incidental to and necessarily associated with a dwelling
house’. The existing use rights extend to the proposed ancillary secondary dwelling, which is not
considered to constitute a Material Change of Use, given it is a modest extension of the existing
Dwelling House use on the site.


New structures on the site remain subject to the conditions the Reconfiguring a Lot approval. As
a result, the proposed secondary dwelling triggers a Minor Change to the Reconfiguring a Lot
approval due to its location slightly outside the approved building envelope.


This Development Assessment Report will describe the site characteristics and provide an
assessment against the applicable Assessment Benchmarks of the Planning Scheme. This
Development Assessment Report is to be considered with the following supporting material.


        Attachment 1       Proposal Plans, prepared by Oly Homes
        Attachment 2       Flood Information Certificate, issued by Noosa Council

This Development Application is made in accordance with the process and controls contained
within Planning Act 2016, as well as all subordinate legislation including the Planning Regulation
2017 and the Development Assessment Rules.
