8.2 LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT

In accordance with Table 5.5.11, the proposed Residential Care Facility is subject to Code
Assessment and should be assessed against the following Codes:

    •   Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;

    •   Special Residential Code; and
    •   Works Code.

An assessment of the proposal against the Local Plan, Zone and Special Residential Codes has been
undertaken and is discussed below. The overlays affecting the site are also considered below.

The proposal has also been assessed against the relevant engineering works codes and this
assessment is set out in the Engineering Codes Assessment document submitted with the
application. Finally the landscape plan has been designed to address the applicable sections of the
Landscape Code.

8.3 LOCAL PLAN

As mentioned above the site is located in the Noosa Heads local plan area and the proposal has
therefore been assessed against the Local plan code. This assessment has confirmed that the
proposal is consistent with the Overall outcomes for the Local plan area for the following reasons;

    •   The subject site is located within the Urban Boundary;

    •   The proposed development will not detract from the visual and landscape values of Noosa
        Hill and will be consistent with the existing pattern of urban development within the local
        area;

    •   The proposed development is generally responsive to the natural landform of the subject
        site and has a density, bulk and scale that is in keeping with the character of the local area.

    •   The proposal will not impact on the keys views of Noosa Hill;

    •   The existing vegetation on the site will be retained where practical and additional
        landscaping is proposed within the site to help replace any existing vegetation that needs
        to be removed and to integrate the development into the natural environment; and

    •   The proposed development comprises a high quality, low rise, design set within an
        attractive landscape setting that encourages outdoor living.

A detailed assessment of the proposal against the Performance and Acceptable outcomes has been
undertaken and the proposal has been found to be compliant with all the relevant Acceptable
outcomes. Please refer to the detailed Code Assessment in the supporting document for further
details.

Overall the proposal is considered to comply with the relevant Overall, Performance and Acceptable
outcomes in the Noosa Heads local plan code.
