The Hastings Unit 19 - Planning Report · 51983.3225.13

Residential Uses Code. The proposed design is a modernisation of the current use and incorporates
contemporary design and materials which enhance the visual amenity and utility of the
development. The built form of the proposed design respects and complements that of the
surrounding development and aligns with the coastal context of the subject site.

The design presents a building height consistent with the surrounding structures and maintains a
maximum height below the permissible 15 metres. The development is nestled into the existing
vegetation and does not present an appearance of excessive bulk to adjacent properties. The
proposed minor change does not create opportunities for residents to overlook the private open
space areas of neighbouring properties.

Landscaping Code
The proposed boundary realignment achieves the Overall Outcomes specified within the
Landscaping Code. The reconfigurations of the allotments enables the appropriate retention of
existing vegetation on site. Both sites are densely vegetated with mature bushland and minimal
disturbance of existing vegetation is required in order to achieve the reconfigurations.

Engineering Works Codes
The proposed development is replacing a single dwelling unit within the Multiple Dwelling complex
which is appropriately serviced by the existing sewerage, water supply stormwater drainage,
electricity, and telecommunication infrastructures. Consequently, the proposed development will
not have any additional impact upon the existing infrastructure network.



8.4 Applicable Overlay Codes

The land is mapped as being affected by some Planning Scheme Natural Hazard overlays including
Acid Sulfate soils and Flood Hazard.

Whilst the subject site is identified as being affected by Acid Sulfate soils, the proposed
development does not involve the excavation of 100m3 of fill or the filling of land with more than
500m3 of fill.

A Flood Search Certificate has been obtained from Noosa Council and enclosed within Appendix
C. The proposed unit will be constructed to achieve the flood immunity requirements as specified
within Tables 13.12 and 13.13 within the Natural Hazards Overlay Code.



8.5 Planning Scheme Polices

No planning scheme polices are relevant to the proposed Minor Change.
