               The site slopes from the street frontage to the rear with approximately 1.75m fall. The site is
               currently vacant.
               Noosa Plan 2020 mapped Erosion Prone Area - 2100 area
               The Noosa Plan mapped Erosion Prone Area (2100) extends into the subject site from the eastern
               boundary to a depth of approximately 7.0 metres.
               The closest component of the proposed development to the eastern boundary is the ground level
               stair structures, which are setback approximately 7.2 metres from the rear seaward boundary.
               Accordingly, the proposed building footprint is generally located outside the mapped EPA 2100
               area. Having regard to the extent of the encroachment and the siting of the proposed development,
               it is reasonable to conclude that the development is predominantly located outside the mapped
               erosion prone area and will not be adversely affect the natural coastal processes or the long-term
               management of coastal hazards.


               1.3. Surrounding Land Uses
               The site fronts Sunshine Beach and the coastal dunes to the east. Abutting to the north and south
               are dwelling houses in the Low Density Residential Zone.
               To the west across Lorikeet Drive are dwelling houses in the Low Density Residential Zone.
               2.     ASSESSMENT
               2.1. 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 (26 September 2025)
               2.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Low Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Low Density Housing Code;
               •      Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:


               Assessment
               The subject site is located in Peregian Beach and is zoned Low Density Residential zone.
               Code assessment has been triggered as the proposed works are within the Coastal Protection
               Overlay – Coastal Protection and Scenic amenity mapped area.
               The site is located within the Land Subject to Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay – Area 1, however
               assessment against this overlay is not triggered as less than 100m3 below 5mAHD is being
               excavated
               The site is located within the Bushfire Hazard Overlay – Potential impact buffer, however
               assessment against this overlay is not triggered as the works are associated with a Dwelling
               House. However, assessment against the relevant building assessment provisions under the
               Building Code of Australia will be required for Building Certification.
