The subject site is located in the Cooroibah suburb and is zoned Rural Residential. The proposed
reconfiguration is identified as a consistent application within the zone and is required to follow a
code assessable application process. The proposal complies with the Rural Residential Lots
sizes of 1.5 hectares by proposing lots that range in area from 1.5 hectares to 3.1 hectares
The application has been reviewed against the applicable statutory instruments with the pertinent
issues arising out of the assessment discussed below:
Rural Residential Zone Code
The proposal has been reviewed against the Rural Residential Zone Code and is consistent with
the purpose of the zone which is to provide for residential uses and activities on large lots.
Flooding
The site is mapped as being affected by flood hazard under the Noosa Plan 2020’s Natural Hazard
Overlay mapping. The application seeks approval to increase the number of lots thereby increasing
the number of people and property in a flood hazard area. Figure 6 below illustrates the mapped
areas of flooding of the site and locality.
