               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020 (20 March 2026).
               3.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Low Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Cooroy Local Plan Code;
               •      Reconfiguring a Lot Code;
               •      Works Codes;
               The subject site is located in Cooroy and is zoned Low Density Residential. The proposed
               subdivision is required to follow a code assessable application process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below
               Assessment of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code
               The proposed subdivision does not meet Performance Outcome 5 (PO5) of the Reconfiguring a
               Lot Code as it does not comply with all the criteria within Table 9.5.1.4 – Minimum Lot Size (Refer
               Table 2):

               Table 2 Compliance with Table 9.5.1.4 (Reconfiguration of a lot Code)

                Zone                   Minimum Lot Size          Frontage, Overlander Ave   Average Lot Width
                Low Density            600m2 minimum             Frontage - 4.5m min        Average Width – 17m
                Residential
                                       Proposed lot 1 – 544 m2   Proposed lot 1 – 20.5m     N/A battleaxe subdivision
                                       Proposed lot 2 - 1172     Proposed lot 2 – 4.6m
                                       m2

               Lot 1 is proposed to be 544m2 as compared to the prescribed minimum of 600m2.

               PO5 prescribes this matter as follows:

                      PO5
                              New lots have areas and dimensions that:
                              (e) except where otherwise specified in a local area code, comply with the minimum
                                   lot size specified in Table 9.5.1.4 Minimum Lot Size and Dimensions

               While not consistent with performance outcome 5, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
               overall outcomes of the code in particular:

                    The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a lot code are:

                         a. Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are
                            appropriate for their intended use and are consistent with the sizes of surrounding
                            lots.
                                                                                                            Page 4 of 14
