GENERAL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
17 DECEMBER 2018 - Crs. Frank Wilkie (Chair), Ingrid Jackson, Joe Jurisevic, Frank Pardon,
Brian Stockwell and Tony Wellington
Apology: Cr Jess Glasgow
1 51987.2951.01 - MINOR CHANGE TO A DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONS TO
A DETACHED HOUSE TO INCLUDE A SWIMMING POOL, DECK AND OTHER
STRUCTURES SEAWARD OF THE COASTAL BUILDING LINE SITUATED AT 42
SEAVIEW TERRACE, SUNSHINE BEACH
Council Resolution
Moved: Cr Stockwell
Seconded: Cr Wilkie
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 11 December 2018 regarding Application No. 51987.2951.01 to
make a minor change to an existing approval for additions to a detached house to include a
swimming pool, deck and other structures seaward of the coastal building line situated at 42
Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach and:
A. Refuse the change for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is in conflict with the assessment benchmarks of the State Planning
Policy as it proposes development in an Erosion Prone Area and Natural Hazard
Area.
2. Development seaward of the Coastal Building Line is contrary to the building
setbacks contained in the Planning Scheme and the setback provided under State
Code 8; Coastal Development and Tidal Works of the State development
assessment provisions.
3. Recent modelling carried out by the Council indicates significant erosion is likely to
occur in the future which may threaten life and property should the proposed
development proceed.
4. The proposal does not comply with the Planning Scheme in force at the time of the
original approval, given the extent of excavation and vegetation removal in a sand
dune area.
5. The proposal does not comply with the Natural Resources Overlay Code for
Coastal Protection as it has the potential to adversely impact on natural coastal
processes.
6. Given the site is affected by the Coastal Building Line and is located in a highly
vulnerable erosion prone area, the proposed 6m setback is not sufficient to
minimise the risk of erosion.
7. The proposal does not comply with the Biodiversity Overlay Code as vegetation is
proposed to be removed within the Environmental Protection Overlay placing the
integrity and resilience of the foreshore at risk.
8. The proposal is contrary to the Overall Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality
as it does not protect the dunal area and natural environment nor maintain the
safety of people and works.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
Carried.
