               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; and
               •       Noosa Plan 2020 (20 March 2026).
               3.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •       Works Codes
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues are discussed below:
               It is understood that the subject driveway crossover existed historically and functioned as a farm
               access. The landowner has undertaken some works prior to the issuing of this Development Permit
               to restore the original driveway crossover as part of the construction of a new shed (approved by
               Council as part of DBW26/0025).
               One of the triggers for the application was the subject driveway crossover being considered a
               secondary crossover. It is understood that the existing driveway crossover will be decommissioned
               as part of these works.
               At the time of lodgement, the works were generally in accordance with the Council’s standard
               drawing (RS-056), minus the guideposts and scour protection. Accordingly, it is considered
               reasonable that a prestart meeting and associated deliverables are not required. It is
               recommended that Council attend a final inspection upon completion of the works to inspect the
               driveway crossover for compliance with this permit.
               Engineering believes that the proposed works satisfy the relevant requirements of The Noosa Plan
               2020 and recommends the following conditions.

               4.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               Not applicable
               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 report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
