 3.0 Proposed development details
 The application proposes a dual occupancy on the site. The Material Change of Use is the higher order
 approval which is currently in Decision Stage of the assessment. The proposed combined Operational
 Works and Reconfiguration of a Lot application would facilitate the development and the following is
 proposed:

    -   Community Title Subdivision (Lot 1 ~ 335m2, Lot 2 ~ 258m2 & ~ 7m2 common property
        (dividing wall))
    -   Earthworks including cut generally consolidated on the northern half of the block with fill
        occurring on the southern half.
    -   Minor excavation in road reserve to facilitate driveway off Wyandra and Safari Street (one
        access/driveway per Unit).
    -   Landscaping package is also provided which includes landscaped area and some planting
        detail for screening vegetation along the side boundaries and front setbacks
    -   The proposed site surface run-off is captured internally and discharge into the Council
        stormwater infrastructure on Wyandra Street as the lawful point of discharge.

The plans have been prepared by RECOR including civil package and stormwater design.

 4.2 Community Title Subdivision
Approval is sought for a Reconfiguration of a Lot (Community Title Subdivision) to create two
standard format lots with common property. The proposed subdivision demonstrates
compliance with the Reconfiguring a Lot Code including PO27, PO28 and PO29 based on
the following grounds:



                                                                                                 Page 5 of 6

-Building is proposed which Council can assess concurrently with Material Change of Use
application (refer editor’s note – PO27).

-The subdivision is proposed for residential land.

-The land is located within urban areas close to services and facilities and adequate
infrastructure is in place to service the development.

-The development would remain consistent with the character of the locality and provides
users reasonable amenity.

 6.0 Conclusion
 This application seeks a Development Permit for Operational Works & Reconfiguration of a Lot
 (Community Title Subdivision) associated with a Material Change of Use for a Dual Occupancy
 situated at 6 Wyandra St, Noosa Heads. The assessment finds the design generally meets the
 relevant Acceptable and Performance Outcomes.

 The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only—

        (a) against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development
            (The Noosa Plan 2020); and

        (b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.

 Council, after carrying out the assessment—

        (a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of
        the assessment benchmarks for the development; and

        (b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with
        some of the assessment benchmarks; and

        Examples—
                1          An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                           the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.

                 2         An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                           the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and a referral agency’s
                           response.


        (c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and

        (d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment
        benchmarks, decide to refuse the application only if compliance cannot be achieved by
        imposing development conditions.

        Example of a development condition—
                           a development condition that affects the way the development is carried out, or the management of uses
                           or works that are the natural and ordinary consequence of the development, but does not have the effect
                           of changing the type of development applied for


 The assessment finds the development generally complies with all Acceptable Outcomes of the
 applicable codes. The Assessment Manager’s favorable consideration of the above development
 application is therefore recommended.
