1. DETAILS
The proposal seeks exemption for a DBW – Alterations and Additions to a Dwelling House where
the proposed development is located within the Flood Hazard Overlay Code. Council issued a
Flood Information Certificate on 10 December 2024, which identifies a minimum required floor level
for habitable rooms of 2.7m AHD. Plans provided by the applicant notate a compliant minimum
floor level achieving the prescribed 2.7m AHD.
Building Department have issued a respective siting relaxation relating to the built to boundary
component (Council ref. EXE24/0049).

DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT REASONS FOR EXEMPTION
Figure 2 – Site Plan
The Planning Act 2016 allows exemption certificates to be issued where ‘the development was
categorised as assessable development because of an error’.
The proposal is eligible for exemption due to the error below:
The Tables of Assessment for the Flood Hazard Overlay includes an error in that the table states
‘Building work not associated with a material change of use, including…’ whereby it should read
‘Building work not associated with a material change of use, excluding…’.
As the proposal has no other relevant aspects which would trigger DBW assessment (as
determined by the applicant) an exemption certificate is sufficiently justified.
Note: The proposal has not been assessed for any other requirements of Noosa Plan 2020.
2. PLANS / DOCUMENTS
The plan reviewed for the exemption request is listed in the following table:
Plan No. Rev. Plan/Document Name Date
0011 B Site Plan, prepared by Lightbody Architects 14.05.25
Annotated by Council
Should the plan listed above be altered or amended, the advice included in this memo is no longer
applicable.
3. COMMENTARY
Council determined that the proposal was exempt for the following reasons:
1. The applicant proposes building work only within the mapped Flood Hazard Overlay area
and therefore should be considered Accepted Development under Noosa Plan 2020.
4. CONCLUSION
A development approval is not required for the following assessable development:
• Building Work Assessable against the Planning Scheme – Dwelling House (for assessment
provisions relating to the Flood Hazard Overlay only).
