Planning & Environment Court Appeal No. 2697 Of 2025 – Application For A Material Change Of Use For A Dwelling House 4 Arakoon Crescent, Sunshine Beach · Attachment 3 - Officer'S Original Report

                   ii. the alignment of adjacent lawful revetments; or
                   4. is on a lot less than 2000m2 where a coastal building line is present.

               The proposed development does not comply with Performance Outcome PO1 of State Code 8 –
               Coastal Development. The development is not considered a redevelopment of an existing
               permanent building or structure, and while the site is less than 2,000m² and is affected by a mapped
               coastal building line, there remains uncertainty regarding the extent and accuracy of the erosion
               prone area mapping across the subject site. As such, the proposal does not demonstrate
               compliance with the relevant assessment criteria and intent for PO1 of this code, which seeks to
               ensure development is appropriately located and designed to mitigate coastal hazard risks.
               PO2 of State Code 8 states:

                   PO2 Development (other than coastal protection work) in the erosion prone area:
                   1. does not adversely impact coastal processes; and
                   2. ensures that the protective function of landforms and vegetation is maintained.
                   Note: In considering reconfiguring a lot applications, the State may require land in the erosion prone area
                   to be surrendered to the State for coastal management purposes under the Coastal Protection and
                   Management Act 1995.
                   Where the planning chief executive receives a copy of a land surrender requirement or proposed land
                   surrender notice under the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995, this must be considered in
                   assessing the application.

               The proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO2 of State Code 8, as it has not been
               demonstrated that the development does not adversely impact coastal processes.
               PO5 of State Code 8 states:

                   PO5 Development (other than coastal protection work) in the erosion prone area does not directly or
                   indirectly increase the severity of coastal erosion either on or off the site.

               The proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO5 of State Code 8 as it has not been
               demonstrated that the development does not directly or indirectly increase the severity of coastal
               erosion.
               PO6 of State Code 8 states:

                   PO6 In erosion prone areas where a coastal building line is present, building work is located landward of
                   the coastal building line unless coastal protection work has been constructed to protect the development.

               It has not been demonstrated that the proposal complies with Performance Outcome PO6 of State
               Code 8, as the development has not provided the details of what coastal protection work is to be
               constructed to protect the development.
