2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 4 - Final New Noosa Plan Part 8-9 Schedule Appendix Track Change version

            (a) Development is planned, designed, constructed and operated to ensure the protection of people, property and
                infrastructure from coastal hazards, taking into account the predicted impacts of climate change;
            (b) Development allows for natural fluctuations of the coast, including as a result of sea level rise, to occur naturally;
            (c) Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal areas are protected and
                enhanced to mitigate coastal hazard risks;
            (d) Development within an erosion prone area2 avoids:
                     a. intensification of existing uses;
                     b. new permanent built structures; and
                     c. seaward extensions to existing built structures;
            (e) Development preserves the integrity of the coastal building line as the defined seaward boundary for building work
                and other development adjacent to the beachfront;
            (f) Development adjacent to beachfront areas is located and designed to protect the character of the beachfront when
                viewed from the beach and integrates with the surrounding natural landscape and skyline vegetation; and
            (g) Development avoids the use of coastal protection works as a means of reducing risks from coastal hazards, as far
                as is practicable.

            (a) Development allows for natural processes of erosion and accretion to occur naturally, including as a result of sea
                level rise;
            (b) Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal areas are not impacted by
                development to mitigate coastal hazard risks and to protect environmental values; and
            (c) Development is designed and sited to protect the visual character and scenic amenity of the Coastal Protection
                and Scenic Amenity Area and to integrate with the surrounding natural landscape and skyline vegetation.

     The following table identifies the assessment criteria for self-assessable and assessable development.
      Performance outcomes                                                  Acceptable outcomes

      Development allows for natural fluctuations of the coast and          Development is located wholly outside the coastal hazard area
      foreshores to occur, including allowance of climate change, and       at year 2100;
      avoids the need for additional coastal protection works.              OR

      PO2
      Coastal protection works are undertaken only as a last resort         No acceptable outcome provided
      where coastal erosion or inundation presents an imminent
      threat to public safety and only where:
      (a)      buildings or structures at risk cannot be relocated or
               abandoned;
      (b)      any erosion control structure is located as far landward
               as practicable on the lot containing the property to the
               maximum extent reasonable; and
      (c)      any increase in the coastal hazard risk for adjacent areas
               from the coastal protection work is mitigated.
