Planning Statement · 132007.799.1

           No concurrence agencies would be triggered by the proposal and the level of assessment
           has not altered.

        (c) for an approval for assessable development that previously required impact
        assessment—be likely, in the responsible entity’s opinion, to cause a person to make a
        properly made submission objecting to the proposed change, if the circumstances allowed;

           The proposed works do not alter the actual use and are unlikely to cause a person to
           object. The area at the front of the site is currently approved and used for vehicular
           maneuvering.

        (d) cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited development.

             Not prohibited development.

The proposal is therefore considered to be able to be considered as permissible change.


Noosa Plan

The site is included in the Noosa Heads Locality which provides Semi Attached housing zoning over
the property. The proposal has been reviewed against the provisions of the Noosa Plan and is
considered to generally fulfill the provisions of the planning scheme.

The proposal does not increase site cover or gross floor area and only slightly affects landscaping at
the front of the site.

The proposed second driveway does not meet the probable solution of the Driveways and Carparking
Code S1.1 which indicates the only one footpath crossing is allowed however is considered to meet
Specific Outcome O1 which states:

        O1 Vehicular access does not adversely impact on safety, capacity and operations of the
        existing or planned road network, the proposed driveway, cycleways or pedestrian pathway
        systems.

The second driveway will provide improved safety as vehicles will be able to leave the site in a
forward direction rather than reversing onto the street which is safer for vehicle and pedestrians.


CONCLUSION
The proposal to provide an additional access to the site improves safety and efficiency of the development.
The layout will not impact on the amenity of the area and is an appropriate resolution to a non compliant
situation.

The attached development application is submitted electronically and includes:

               Proposal plans prepared by Burleigh Designs; and

               A completed Noosa Council Request to Change Existing Approval and/or Extension of
               Relevant Period form; and

The applicant will pay Councils application fees separately.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended. Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or
clarification with respect to the above application.
