     5.8    The Noosa Plan- Locality Plan

            The subject site is included within the Eastern Beach Locality Plan of Council's Planning
            Scheme. The overall intent of the Locality Plan is to;

            a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to-
            i be compatible with other uses and works;
            ii maintain the safety of people and works;
            iii avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises,
            including acoustic and visual qualities;
            iv avoid significant adverse impacts on the natural environment, including native habitat
            removal, fragmentation and attrition; and
            v protect the natural beach experience and overall visual amenity for beach users;
            b) The Eastern Beaches Locality retains its primary role as a residential area, though
            continues to provide some visitor accommodation and a range of local retail and
            commercial functions at Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Peregian Beach;
            c) The scale and form of buildings and other structures are-
            / designed to be responsive to the informal beachside character of the locality, being
            low rise buildings, with pitched or curved roofs and building materials that blend with
            the dune and coastal landscape;

            iii integrated into the topography and native vegetation of the dune system which
            dominates the locality; and
            iv consistent with the amenity and safety expectations of the community;
            d) Residential development is characterised by-
            i low impact buildings of a domestic scale within densely landscaped settings;
            ii building designs that are well articulated and that use design elements, materials that
            respect the coastal landscape character;
            iii building designs that avoid hard lines and boxy shapes characteristic of
            Mediterranean/Tuscan influenced design;
            iv Detached housing and Duplexes as the dominant development form; and
            v low rise Multiple housing development that is limited to the areas within the vicinity of
            the Sunshine Beach neighbourhood centre;
11          e) Emphasis is placed on the protection and retention of low cost accommodation
            consistent with maintaining a diversity of accommodation types for visitors to the
            locality;
            f) Where development is not served by sewerage infrastructure, there is no adverse
            impact on ground and surface water quality, human health and amenity as a
            consequence of the on-site disposal of effluent;
            g) The environmental and cultural heritage values of the locality are conserved and well
            managed;
            h) Areas of native remnant or regrowth vegetation, including their biodiversity and
            habitat values are protected;

            The proposed development is not considered to be in conflict with the Eastern Beaches
            Locality Plan with the development proposing consistent lot sizes and dimensions and
            the proposal should be considered appropriate in this instance.

            An assessment of the Eastern Beach Locality Plan Code has been undertaken by
            LandPartners Limited and is included within the Appendix A.
