2.0 INTRODUCTION
This Development Assessment Report has been prepared to support an application that seeks a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use to establish a Residential Care Facility on part of
the subject site. The application is lodged on behalf of Deluca Charitable Foundation Limited a
charitable/not for profit organisation.

The subject site, which is owned by the Northern SEQ Distributor-Retailer Authority, is situated at
32 Viewland Drive, Noosa Heads and is described as Lot 1 on RP226728. The eastern portion of the
site currently contains three (3) water tanks and associated infrastructure while the western portion
is undeveloped and generally contains non-remnant vegetation.

Under the Noosa Plan (the Plan) the site forms part of the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area and is
located within the Community Facilities Zone. Importantly, on Zone Map ZM-13 in Schedule 2 of
the Plan, the eastern portion of the site is specifically annotated for use as a Utility Installation while
the western portion is annotated for use as any of the following:

    •   Residential care facility;
    •   Multiple dwelling;
    •   Rooming accommodation;
    •   Community residence.

As the application applies to the western portion of the site and is seeking approval for a residential
care facility, which is one of the annotated uses for this portion of the site, the application is code
assessable in accordance with Table 5.5.11 of the Plan.

Table 5.5.11 also confirms that the application should be assessed against the following Codes:

    •   Noosa Heads Local Plan;
    •   Community Facilities Zone;
    •   Special Residential; and
    •   Works Codes.

The purpose of this report is to describe the characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses,
detail the proposed development and provide an assessment against the applicable planning
provisions.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, the Development
Application form, Architectural Plans, Landscape Plans, Engineering Code Assessment Report, Site
Based Stormwater Management Plan & drawings, Earthworks Plans and the preliminary Ecological
and Bushfire advice letter.
