24-01-2020 - Appeal No. 245 of 2019 - Final Order of Judge Rackemann · 51987.2951.01

Working Notes:
M Design and Fourteen Enterprises Pty Ltd as trustee v Noosa Shire Council -
42 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach

2.      Site Description
The site is a 592 square metre residential property located at 42 Seaview Terrace (Lot 57 on
RP81810), Sunshine Beach, see Figure 2-1. The site slopes away from Seaview Terrace towards the
dunes that adjoin Sunshine Beach with a change in elevation from Seaview Terrace to the rear
property boundary of approximately 6 metres. The rear property boundary that adjoins the dune is
elevated at approximately 17 metres above Australian Height Datum (AHD).

Sunshine Beach is located south of Noosa Head and has an east-south-easterly aspect with exposure
to waves from the north-east, east and south-easterly sectors. The site is approximately 430 metres
south of Noosa Headland which has a significant influence on sand transport along this section of
coastline.

A small ephemeral creek crosses the beach to the south of the site. This creek is observed in aerial
photography to meander across the beach.

2.1.    Proposed Development
This appeal relates to a proposed pool and decks located at the rear of an existing house located on
the site. Figure 2-5 shows the proposed pool and decks in relation to the existing house. It should
be noted that the asset lifespan of a residential concrete swimming pool is between 30 to 40 years.
Taking account of the coastal environment and the rate of building renewal of seaside properties an
asset lifespan of 30 years has been adopted for the purposes of this assessment.
