8.0 CONCLUSIONS

This Development Assessment Report has been prepared on behalf of Sarah Keating and Simon
marsh to support a Development Application for Material Change of Use for Visitor
Accommodation – Type 3 Rural in respect of land at 340 Pomona Kin Kin Road, Pinbarren,
described as Lot 26 on M37911.

The site is included under The Noosa Plan within the Mary River Catchment locality and the Rural
zone.

This report demonstrates the proposal’s compliance with the applicable state and local planning
provisions, including the following grounds:

        the proposed development is consistent with the intent for the Rural zone in the Mary
         River Catchment locality by providing eco-cabins that preserve the character an
         appearance of the rural zone of the site. Furthermore the proposal will not cause
         fragmentation of agricultural land and will not compromise the ability of the site to
         operate as a traditional rural use in the future;

        the proposal will not compromise the Strategic Framework of the Noosa Plan as the
         primary use of the site will remain as a farm and the proposed cabins will complement
         and help to sustain this use;

        the proposal is consistent with the rural zone and locality code;

        the proposal is consistent with the relevant Assessment Benchmarks in the Visitor
         Accommodation Code;

        the supporting documents demonstrate that the proposed development will not result in
         adverse effects to surrounding properties or the rural character of the area;

        the cabins are considered low impact, of lightweight construction and easily removable;

        each cabin will be appropriately screened by vegetation from the dwelling houses located
         on the adjoining properties to the north; and

        the proposed layout is sensitive to the existing environmental values of the site.



In summary, it is considered that the proposed development warrants Council’s support subject
to reasonable and relevant conditions.
