2.      SITE DETAILS
2.1     Background
No previous development applications have been made in relation to the subject site.
2.2     Site Description
The site is a regular shaped allotment of approximately 576m2 in area and is currently undeveloped.
The site has a 22-metre frontage to Seaview Terrace, which is sealed with an approximate width
of 4.5 metres with no curb and channel in this location. The site’s topography is characterised by
a slope which falls 7 metres from the north-western to the south-eastern corner. The site is
extensively vegetated.
2.3     Surrounding Land Uses
North: A walkway which provides beach access. The garden area of 71 Seaview Terrace is
situated on the northern side of the walkway.
South: 64 Seaview Terrace: An older residential dwelling which includes a double garage and
swimming pool located within close proximity of the front boundary.
East: Vegetated dune system
West: 65, 67 and 69 Seaview Terrace – each containing a residential dwelling on land that is
higher than the subject site.
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;
•     Noosa Plan 2020.
3.2     State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy
The State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) outlines particulars about compatible urban form that
minimises impacts on coastal processes and avoids development that present unacceptable risk
from coastal hazards. The State Planning Policy (State interest guideline – Coastal Environment)
requires the coastal environment to be protected and enhanced and urban form to be compatible
with this.
In this instance the proposal seeks to develop a residential dwelling on residential zoned land with
the review of the Geotechnical Investigation and the Costal Hazard Assessment ensuring that
adequate measures are implemented to mitigate the risks to people and property to an acceptable
level with the proposed measures to be implemented within the subject site.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the
assessment benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
