7.2 Strategic Assessment
Given this Other Change application is subject to Impact Assessment, the proposed changes to the existing
approval are required to be assessed against the entire Planning Scheme, including the Strategic Framework.

The following parts of the Strategic Framework are considered most relevant to the assessment of this
development application:

▪     Strategic Outcome 3.3.1 – Settlement;

▪     Strategic Outcome 3.3.2 - Community Wellbeing; and

▪     Strategic Outcome 3.3.3 – Housing Choice.

The proposed development is considered to comply with the other parts of the Strategic Framework however,
these are not relevant to address specifically as part of this application.

An assessment against the Strategic Framework is provided in Appendix D.

7.2.1 Strategic Outcome 3.3.1 – Settlement
The intent of Strategic Outcome 3.3.1 – Settlement is to guide residential development and growth to 2041. Its
key objectives are to provide for housing in areas suitable to accommodate increased residential
densification, such as Noosa Heads. Housing types and architectural design should adhere to the ‘Noosa
Style’ and respond to the subtropical climate to maximise energy efficiency and reduce the impact on the
environment.

The proposal complies with the relevant objectives of the Strategic Outcomes as follows:

▪     The proposed change continues to provide a complementary role to the surrounding residential
      development in Noosa Heads. The proposal involves the demolition of the existing short‑term
      accommodation development, which is inconsistent with the intent of the zoning, The redevelopment
      of the site for dwelling houses therefore improves the site’s consistency with the Noosa Plan.

▪     The proposal involves high-quality architectural design that embraces the modern coastal style of
      residential developments in Noosa. The housing design involves numerous outdoor and indoor areas
      that maximises the Noosa lifestyle.

▪     The outdoor spaces provide functional areas that can be used throughout the day as the sun moves
      around the house. The development is designed to suit the subtropical climate through the
      incorporation of large windows and skylights maximise natural light and capture breezes. The modern
      finishes will support energy efficiency and be efficient in its use water and waste.


7.2.2 Strategic Outcome 3.3.2 - Community Wellbeing
The objectives of Strategic Outcome 3.3.2 - Community Wellbeing involves the protection of Noosa Shire as a
community and is designed to facilitate the development of land uses that enhance the community and
support the diverse mix of people.

▪     The proposed change maintains the role and function of the development as a family home. The
      residential development is specifically designed to support aging in place and intentionally considers
      the prospects of being a multi-generational space to support the needs of a range of ages within the
      family over time.

▪     Bespoke features, such as lift access between levels, ensure inclusive and adaptable access for
      people of all ages and abilities and support the longevity of the house for the long term. This
      contributes to Noosa Shire’s objective of fostering an inclusive community that meets the needs of
      older people, families, children, young adults and other household types, while enabling residents to
      remain in their homes across different life stages.
