               1.     PROPOSAL
               The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use - Dwelling house. As shown in the
               submitted proposal plans, the applicant proposes extensions to the existing church that includes a
               new deck and patio. In addition to these proposed additions, a there is a proposed secondary
               dwelling and shed. The proposed secondary dwelling has a gross floor area of 65m2. To service
               the development, a compacted graven driveway/crossover is proposed from Grady Street.
               The locality and proposal plan are included below.

               2.     SITE DETAILS
               2.1. Site History
               The land is improved by an existing heritage-style building formerly known as St Luke’s Kin Kin
               Anglican Church. The building contains a large central congregation hall, ancillary meeting/function
               space, kitchenette facilities and amenities. The site also contains ancillary infrastructure including
               a water tank and on-site wastewater disposal system.
               Access to the property is associated with Grady Street, although historical access has also been
               obtained from the adjoining Main Street reserve area.

               •      Hinterland Villages Local Plan Code;
               •      Low Density Housing Code;
               •      Works Codes;
               •      Heritage Overlay Code
               •      Landslide Hazard Overlay Code
               The subject site is located in Kin Kin and is zoned Community Facilities (Place Of Worship). The
               proposed use is identified as a consistent use within the zone and 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:

               Community Facilities Zone Code
               Setbacks
               Side and Rear Setbacks
               AO19 requires:
               •        Front setback: 6m.
               •        Side and rear setbacks: 3m within urban boundaries
               The submitted plans identify:
               •        Front setback to proposed secondary dwelling and shed: 6.0m
               •        Side setbacks: generally, 1.5m
               •        Rear setback: approximately 2m
               The proposal does not achieve the prescribed side and rear setbacks.


                   PO19 – Setbacks
                   Buildings and other structures:
                   a.    provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic
                         amenity of adjoining and nearby properties;
                   b.    allow space for required vehicle parking;
                   c.    preserve existing vegetation to buffer the building;
                   d.    allow for soft landscaping between buildings;
                   e.    avoid large areas of continuous wall planes by varying the building setbacks and using
                         appropriate techniques to provide visual relief; and
                   f.    help protect the natural character and visual amenity of the Noosa River system and other
                         watercourses where relevant.

               Assessment
               The proposal is of a modest scale and the setback to the north is existing and adjacent to public
               land owned by the State of Queensland.
                                                                                                     Page 7 of 15

Version: 8, Version Date: 03/08/2026

Page 8

               The reduced setbacks to the west do not result in amenity impacts due to the low building height,
               detached nature of the secondary dwelling, and are in line with the setback established by the
               existing church.
               It is considered that due to the proposal being for the adaptive reuse of the existing church for
               residential purposes, with the inclusion of the secondary dwelling, and the shed for domestic
               storage purposes, the proposed 1.5 metre side setbacks are consistent with the adjoining
               residential uses to the east and west.
               The proposed setbacks allow space for the required vehicle parking and soft landscaping.
               PO20–PO26 – Building Design and Streetscape
               The proposal retains and adaptively reuses an existing historic village building that contributes to
               the character of Kin Kin. New works are subordinate to the existing structure and include traditional
               materials, verandahs, decks and articulated roof forms. The building continues to present an
               attractive streetscape outcome and maintains the established character of the locality.
               PO29–PO32 – Amenity
               The proposal is for a low scale residential development with no significant noise, traffic, lighting or
               operational impacts. The secondary dwelling is compliant in size and does not generate activities
               beyond those expected within a residential environment.
               The proposal is therefore unlikely to adversely affect adjoining properties or the surrounding village
               environment.
               The proposal generally complies with the built-form, landscaping and amenity provisions of the
               code. The adaptive re-use of the former church represents a reasonable planning outcome where
               the original community use has ceased and the development preserves an existing local heritage
               building.
               Hinterland Villages Local Plan Code
               The Kin Kin local plan seeks to maintain Kin Kin as a small rural village with a distinct hinterland
               character and limited growth. Development should respect the scale, form and appearance of
               existing development and retain the character of important village buildings.
               The proposal:
               •         Retains the former church building.
               •         Preserves an established village structure.
               •         Adopts a scale consistent with surrounding buildings.
               •         Incorporates traditional verandahs, decks and lightweight building forms.
               •         Maintains the spacious and landscaped character of the village
               Low Density Housing Code
               AO5.1 of the Low Density Housing Code requires where there is no reticulated water supply, the
               premises is serviced with a rainwater tank with the following minimum water supply capacity:
               a.        for dwellings with no more than 3 bedrooms – 45,000 litres; or
               b.        for dwellings of more than 3 bedrooms or where including a secondary dwelling on the same
                         premises – 60,000 litres.

                   PO5
                   Development is provided with:
                   a.     a level of infrastructure and services that is appropriate to its setting and sufficient for the
                          intended use;
                   b.     an effluent treatment and disposal system that does not have an adverse effect
                          on ecologically important areas or water quality; and

                                                                                                             Page 8 of 15

                c.      adequate onsite water storage to support the efficient use of water and is adequate for
                        everyday use of the occupants.

               Although the proposed development is for a dwelling that includes a secondary dwelling, the overall
               development is for only 2 bedrooms and it is considered that the proposed 46,400 litres of rainwater
               storage will be sufficient for the intended use.
               An existing absorption trench and septic system is being retained as the site’s effluent treatment
               and disposal system.
               Heritage Overlay Code
               The subject site is identified as a local heritage place, being St Luke’s Anglican Church at 3 Grady
               Street, Kin Kin. The proposal involves the adaptive reuse of the former church for residential
               purposes, together with a new covered deck, patio, secondary dwelling, shed and associated
               access works. The submitted plans show the heritage building is to be retained on site, with works
               generally concentrated to the rear and side of the existing building.
               PO2 – Adaptive reuse
               PO2 requires local heritage places to be conserved and protected by providing for their adaptive
               reuse, provided the new use is compatible with the ongoing conservation management of the local
               heritage place. The proposed dwelling house use is considered an appropriate adaptive reuse of
               the former church where the original community use has ceased. The development retains the
               principal heritage building and allows it to remain in active use, which supports its ongoing
               maintenance and conservation.
               PO6 – Building work on a local heritage place
               PO6 requires development to respect the original architectural style and proportions, retain the
               original roof form and pitch, retain original veranda, window and door design where possible,
               ensure new work is compatible in scale, height and bulk, provide visual and structural distinction
               between old and new work, and locate new work to the rear or where it is not overly prominent
               from public places. The proposal retains the church’s original building form, roof form and pitch,
               external timber cladding, windows and other key heritage features. The proposed deck and patio
               are located toward the rear of the building and the new secondary dwelling and shed are detached
               from the former church, which assists in maintaining the primacy of the heritage building. While the
               proposed rear balustrade will partially obscure the lower portion of some rear windows, the
               windows are retained and the impact is limited to the rear elevation. On balance, and subject to
               heritage conditions requiring retention of heritage fabric and complementary materials, colours,
               finishes and detailing, the proposal is considered to satisfy PO6.
               PO7 – Construction management
               PO7 requires construction timing, transport, access, storage and use of materials on and adjacent
               to the local heritage place to be managed to avoid adverse impacts. The proposal can achieve this
               outcome through conditions requiring all onsite workers to be advised that the former church is a
               heritage building and that no damage is to be caused by construction activities, storage of
               materials, excavation works or vehicle movements. The requirement for an archival photographic
               record prior to building works commencing also provides an appropriate record of the existing
               heritage fabric. Subject to these conditions, construction impacts on the local heritage place can
               be appropriately managed.
               Overall, the proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant Heritage Overlay Code performance
               outcomes, subject to the recommended heritage conditions

               •     Senior Development Engineer, Development Assessment
               Council’s Senior Development Engineer prepared a memo (Document Set ID 25010298) dated 24
               July 2026 that includes the details of their assessment and recommended conditions to be included
               in the Decision Notice.
               •     Senior Environment Officer, Development Assessment
               Council’s Senior Environment Officer prepared a memo dated 24 July 2026 that includes the details
               of their assessment and recommended conditions to be included in the Decision Notice.
               The proposal generally indicates that the development can achieve a minimum of 20% of the site
               as landscaped area (in accordance with PO6 of the Low Density Housing Code).
               The revised proposal plans demonstrate that 270m2 of landscaping will be provided with the
               proposed development exceeding compliance with the acceptable outcome AO6, noting that soft
               landscaping includes all existing grassed areas.
               •      Heritage Advisor, Strategy and Environment
               Council’s Heritage Adviser has assessed the proposal and acknowledges concerns regarding the
               partial obscuring of the lower sections of the church windows by the proposed balustrade.
               Notwithstanding this, the impact is considered acceptable from a heritage perspective for several
               reasons.
               All church windows are to be retained on every elevation of the building, ensuring the building’s
               key heritage elements remain intact. The affected windows are located on the rear elevation, which
               is generally considered the most appropriate location for alterations to heritage buildings. The
               proposed balustrade will only partially obscure the windows, resulting in a minor visual impact.
               Furthermore, this impact can be mitigated through the use of a light-coloured finish for the timber
               balustrade and by painting the timber window frames in a contrasting darker colour, consistent with
               the historic presentation of the church as shown in the heritage inventory photograph.
               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The proposal has been assessed against the relevant provisions of Noosa Plan 2020 (Amendment
               2 – 26 September 2025) and is considered to achieve the intent of the Community Facilities Zone
               Code, Low Density Housing Code and Hinterland Villages Local Plan Code.
               The development retains an existing landmark building, preserves the established character of Kin
               Kin, provides additional housing choice, maintains a low-intensity village-scale form, and does not
               result in adverse impacts on surrounding land uses, amenity, infrastructure or environmental
               values.
               Importantly, the Noosa Plan Table of Assessment identifies a Dwelling House as a Code
               Assessable use on the subject site, demonstrating that residential development is an anticipated
               outcome on the land where the relevant assessment benchmarks can be satisfied. The proposal
               is generally consistent with those benchmarks, subject to the provision of additional rainwater
               storage if required.
               Accordingly, the proposal represents an appropriate planning outcome and is considered to
               warrant approval, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

                      AS3798: Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Developments.
               20.    Where the development involves excavation or filling over, or adjacent to, drainage, water
                      supply or sewerage infrastructure, all access chamber surface levels must be adjusted to
                      provide a freeboard of 100mm above the finished ground surface level.

                      a.      where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately;
                              or
                      b.      where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.
                      Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets
                      must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
               VEGETATION PROTECTION

               1.     The QLeave levy must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where it is required.
                      Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that the Levy has
                      been paid.

                      East Queensland’s fire ant biosecurity zones. Movement of a fire ant carrier from within a fire
                      ant biosecurity zone may need a biosecurity instrument permit. More information is available
