2. SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA
2.1 ZONE DESIGNATION
The land is located within the ‘Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area’ regional land use category
as mapped on the SPP mapping.
The land is designated as Rural Zone land on the Noosa Planning Scheme Overlay Maps.
4|Page
Page 5
2.2 SURROUNDING LAND USES
The proposed site is surrounded by land parcels within the same zone and land use category. The
surrounding properties are generally large allotments with dwelling houses and some minor agriculture
activities (mainly grazing) occurring.
2.3 CURRENT REGIESTERED LANDOWNER
The current registered landowners of the subject site are Angella Brett and David Coutts.
Landowners consent to make this application is also attached.
2.4 SITE DIMENSIONS, ENCUMBRANCES, TOPOGRAPHY, AND IMPROVEMENTS
The site is irregular in shape and comprises an area of 2.9534ha, with access to Cooroy Belli Creek Road
via an existing access easement.
The site is not encumbered by Easements. The allotment does not have access to reticulated water or
sewerage.
The current topography is steeply sloping from East to West. The proposed dwelling is located outside
the landslide hazard overlay as prescribed by the Noosa Planning Scheme Overlay Maps.
The improvements to the land include the proposed dwelling and crossover to Butcherbird Lane.
2.5 ACCESS AND SERVICES
The site currently has an existing access point to Butcherbird Lane (road access easement). The
proposed Dwelling house would use the existing access easement and only proposes one crossover to
Butcherbird Lane.
The site has no access to reticulated water, sewerage, or stormwater. The site uses effluent disposal
system for treatment of wastewater, water tanks for potable water supply and disposes of stormwater
overland to mimic overland flow conditions.

3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
3.1 PROPOSAL
The application seeks for the construction of a dwelling on the property for use as a Dwelling House.
The Noosa Planning Scheme defines a Dwelling house use as:
One dwelling for a single household and any domestic outbuildings associated with the dwelling; or
One dwelling for a single household, a secondary dwelling and any domestic outbuildings associated with
either dwelling.
The proposed dwelling will be occupied as a single household as per the NSC planning scheme definitions.

4. LOCAL PLANNING MATTERS
4.1 LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT & STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
The proposed development includes a material change of use requiring code assessment
against the Noosa Plan 2020.
The following codes are applicable:
- Rural Zone Code
- Low Density Housing Code
4.2 OVERLAYS
The subject site is burdened by the following overlays, as identified by the overlay maps of the
Noosa Planning Scheme:
- Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
o Biodiversity Significance
o Riparian Buffer area
o Waterways
The proposed dwelling is located outside of the biodiversity overlay and therefore is not an
assessment benchmark.
- Bushfire Hazard Overlay
The Bushfire Hazard Overlay code is not an assessment benchmark for a Dwelling House Use.
Bushfire provisions are contained within the Low Density Housing Code. The Dwelling will be
subject to a site specific bushfire report and will be protected in accordance with AS3959.
- Agricultural Land Overlay
The dwelling will be located within the Agricultural Land Conservation area. The Rural Zone Code
is an assessment benchmark. No change to level of assessment.
- Landslide Hazard and Steep Land Overlay
o Moderate hazard area
o High hazard area
The proposed dwelling is located outside the Landslide Hazard Overlay code and is therefore not
an assessment benchmark.

6. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This application seeks a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for a dwelling. The proposal is
code assessable development under the Noosa Planning Scheme and a consistent use within the Rural
Zone. The application can comply with the code requirements by compliance with the performance
outcomes and overall outcomes.
It is therefore suggested that the assessment manager decide the proposal favourably.
