Noosa Shire’s Strategic Outcomes for 2041 include Strategic Outcome 3.3.3 – Housing Choice. The purpose of
this specific outcome is to support residential development and enhance the diversity of housing delivered
across Noosa Shire.

The proposal meets the key objectives as follows:

▪       The proposal is located in an established neighbourhood in Noosa Heads, which currently
        accommodates a range of low-density housing. The proposal is consistent with the surrounding
        development pattern.

▪       The proposal involves the demolition of an existing short-term accommodation unit and will utilise the
        key infrastructure and services provided to the site.

▪       The proposed change does not involve vegetation clearing. The proposal is enhanced by the
        introduction of subtropical landscaping around the perimeter of the site that will improve the existing
        arrangement.

▪       The proposed change supports ageing in place by providing accessible and adaptable housing. This
        contributes to a diverse range of housing options that respond to changing demographics, household
        composition and lifestyle choices, allowing its occupants to remain in their homes as their needs
        change over time.


7.3 Relevant Codes
The Planning Scheme assessment benchmarks for the proposed development are summarised in the table
below:
Table 5 - Relevant Noosa Plan Codes


    Primary Codes                           Prescribed Works Codes           Overlay Codes

    ▪   Medium Density Residential          ▪   Earthworks Code              ▪   Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay
        Zone Code                           ▪   Water Quality and Drainage       Code
    ▪   Low Density Housing Code                Code                         ▪   Flood Hazard Overlay Code
    ▪   Noosa Heads Local Plan
        Code

A detailed assessment of the proposed Other Change has been undertaken against all relevant provisions of
the Noosa Plan. A review of the relevant codes indicates that the Other Change proposal that involves only
changes to the internal layout, will not result in a change to the responses provided under the existing
development approval.

The proposal does not involve alterations to the following aspects of the existing approval. As such, the
proposal does not necessitate assessment against the following codes:

▪       Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code;

▪       Earthworks Code;

▪       Water Quality and Drainage Code; and

▪       Flood Hazard Overlay Code.

The assessment (included in Appendix D) confirms that the proposal complies with, or can be conditioned to
comply with, the applicable assessment benchmarks.
