6.8.3 Rural zone code
6.8.3.1 Application
This code applies to:-
(a) assessable development on land within the Rural zone as identified on the zoning maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) acceptable development subject to requirements and identified as requiring assessment against the Rural zone code by the tables of assessment
in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
6.8.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
(1) The purpose of the Rural zone is to:
(a) provide for rural uses and activities; and
(b) provide for other uses and activities that are compatible with:
(i) existing and future rural uses and activities; and
(ii) maintain the character and environmental features of the zone; and
(c) The capacity of land for rural uses and activities by protecting and managing significant natural resources and processes.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Rural zone are as follows:-
(a) The establishment of a wide range of rural activities is facilitated, including animal husbandry, aquaculture, cropping, horticulture, roadside
stalls, rural industries, forest practices, wholesale nurseries and other primary production and compatible uses.
Part 6 – Zone Codes Noosa Plan 2020
Page 3
20203841 – 65 Eungella Dr, Black Mountain (Dwelling House)
(b) The viability of existing and future rural activities is protected from the intrusion of incompatible uses.
(c) Areas for primary production are conserved and lot fragmentation is avoided.
(d) Existing extractive industries and key resource areas are protected from the intrusion of incompatible uses.
(e) Rural activities embrace sustainable land management practices and contribute to the amenity and landscape of the area. Livestock
enterprises are predominantly pasture fed, free range operations.
(f) More intensive rural activities including animal keeping, intensive horticulture and extractive industry may be established in the zone provided
that adverse environmental and amenity impacts including the generation of noise, dust or odour are avoided with sensitive land uses buffered
from impacts.
(g) Lot reconfigurations are typically limited to instances of protecting remnant vegetation or riparian corridors or improving the delivery or function
of regional infrastructure.
(h) The establishment of outdoor recreation and small-scale tourism facilities in suitable locations is facilitated in a manner that does not
significantly compromise the rural productivity or ecological values of the land.
(i) Visitor accommodation complements rural uses and promotes the sustainable use of rural land.
(j) Houses or outbuildings may be available for short term guests where there is no resultant changes to the rural amenity or rural production of
the area.
(k) Nature based tourism adopts exemplary standards of ecologically sustainable design and facilitates appreciation of the natural environment.
(l) Rural activities provide for appropriate value adding to produce on site where adverse environmental and amenity impacts are avoided.
(m) Home-based businesses which add to the economic sustainability of the hinterland are established where the nature, scale and intensity of the
activity is compatible with the character and amenity of the surrounding locality.
(n) Development is reflective of, and sensitively responds to, the environmental constraints of the land.
(o) Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands and vegetated hillslopes and ridgelines are retained, managed and enhanced
where possible.
Part 6 – Zone Codes Noosa Plan 2020
Page 4
20203841 – 65 Eungella Dr, Black Mountain (Dwelling House)
(p) Development maintains and enhances the significant scenic and landscape values of the area. The built form of development integrates with
and complements the rural character intended for the zone and sensitively responds to the landscape.
(q) Development does not reduce the vegetated open space and rural landscapes that frame distinct towns and villages.
(r) Development protects and provides for recreational trails.
(s) Development does not adversely impact on the continued operation, viability and maintenance of existing infrastructure or compromise the
future provision of planned infrastructure.
Alternate provisions to the Queensland Development Code
For the purpose of Section 10 of the Building Regulation 2006 and Section 33 of the Building Act 1975, nominated provisions in Table 6.8.3.3 below are
alternate provisions to the QDC.
Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance outcomes can be met.
Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are considered as one way to satisfy the
corresponding performance outcome.

9.3.1.1 Application
This code applies to acceptable development which is subject to requirements and to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the
Low Density Housing code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
9.3.1.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
(1) The purpose of the Low density housing code is to ensure dwelling houses, community residences, rooming accommodation and short term
accommodation (where no more than one detached dwelling on the site):
(a) are appropriately located;
(b) achieve a high level of comfort and amenity for occupants;
(c) maintain amenity and privacy of neighbouring residential premises; and
(d) are compatible with the character and streetscape of the local area.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for the Low density residential code are:
(a) Development incorporates a high standard of design and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape character of the area in which it
is located.
(b) Development is sited and designed to protect the amenity and privacy of neighbouring premises.
(c) Development provides a high level of safety, security and amenity for residents.
(d) Development is provided with an acceptable level of infrastructure and services.
(e) Where not in a sewerage service area, effluent disposal systems are designed and sited to avoid adverse effects on the environment.
Part 9– Development Codes Noosa Plan 2020
Page 27
20203841 – 65 Eungella Dr, Black Mountain (Dwelling House)
(f) Driveways and crossovers provide safe and reasonable vehicle access from the carriageway to the property boundary, minimise adverse
effects on Council’s infrastructure and ensure safety for all users of the footpath.
(g) Community residences in the Low density residential zone are of a domestic scale with traffic levels which do not unreasonably affect the
residential amenity of neighbours.
(h) Secondary dwellings are small scale, subordinate to the dwelling and provide housing choice and amenity for the occupants.
(i) Rooming accommodation in the Low density residential zone is of domestic scale and provides housing choice to meet the varying needs
of the community.
(j) Buildings relocated from other sites do not pose a health or safety risk or adversely affect the amenity of their neighbourhood or existing
infrastructure.
(k) Development maintains the natural landscape character and visual quality of hillslopes and ridgelines and avoids adverse impacts on the
environmental values of the land.
FOR ACCEPTED DEVELOPMENT
The requirements for Acceptable Development are the acceptable outcomes listed in the Table of Assessment. Accepted development that
complies with the acceptable solutions is considered to satisfy the requirements. If development complies with some, but not all, acceptable
outcomes, an application for Code Assessment will be necessary and the application will be assessed against the relevant Performance
Outcome(s).
FOR ASSESSABLE DEVELOPMENT
Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance outcomes can be met.
Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are considered as one way to satisfy the
corresponding performance outcome.
