Item 2: Demonstrate how the proposed reconfiguration complies with the relevant provisions within
the Noosa Plan which seek to protect the ecological values and ecological character of the site and
area.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: No specific provisions have been detailed and therefore it is difficult
to provide an appropriate response to the item. The site is not mapped as containing any significant
vegetation (Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay).


Item 3: Provide a response which demonstrates how the creation of a new lot within an erosion prone
area, which will be subject to vegetation removal and future development, accords with the requirements
of the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code and the Reconfiguring a Lot Code

Applicant’s Response to Item 3: A preliminary review of the proposal against the Coastal Protection
and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code and the Reconfiguring a Lot Code is provided in the tables below:

Development allows for natural frontal dune system and coastline.

 

PO2
Development is located, designed and
constructed to:

a) maintain dune crest heights and
minimise and mitigate the risk to
development from wave
overtopping and storm tide
inundation; and

6) maintain or enhance coastal
ecosystems and natural features
such as coastal creeks and marine
plants including mangroves, salt
marshes and coastal wetlands, to
assist in protecting and buffering
communities and infrastructure
from sea-level rise and coastal
inundation impacts.

No acceptable outcome provided.

Proposed new lot will not impact
existing frontal dune system and will be
in line with existing development to the
north of the site. The proposed lot
maintains existing buffers to the
surrounding area.

 

PO3

Where a coastal building line exists on
a lot, all buildings, structures and
retaining walls do not extend seaward
of the coastal building line for the site,
other than—

a) uncovered and unenclosed
cantilevered balconies that do not
extend greater than 3 metres
seaward of the
coastal building line; and

b) are setback a minimum of 6
metres from the seaward boundary
(see Figure 8.2.4.4).

Editor's Note—State

Coastal building lines are identified on
the Coastal Protection Overlay Maps.
State coastal building lines are
declared under the Coastal Protection
and Management Act 1995.

No acceptable outcome provided.

No coastal building line on site.

 

PO4

Where a coastal building line does not
exist on a lot fronting the beachfront or
a reserve adjoining the beachfront, new
buildings and structures are setback no
less than 6 metres from the seaward
boundary of the site.

 

 

No acceptable outcome provided.

 

Proposed lot has an average length of
41 metres which is more than sufficient
to cater for a dwelling and required
setbacks.
