164 Edwards St - Duplex MCU App - Planning Report

8. Conclusions

The proposed Development Permit for a Material Change of Use (Dual Occupancy) on land at 164
Edwards Street, Sunshine Beach 4567, has been assessed against the requirements of the Local and
State Statutory Planning Requirements.

This report demonstrates that the proposed development is permitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Planning Act 2016 and the Noosa Plan 2020, and the proposed development can be supported
on a number of grounds, including:

• The development application has been made in accordance with the requirements of both the
      Planning Act 2016 and the Development Assessment Rules 2017;

• The proposal is consistent with the Strategic Intent of the Noosa Plan 2020 and does not
      compromise any higher order strategic planning for the area;

• The proposed Duplex is appropriately sited in a Medium Density Residential Zone and is within
      walking distance to a variety of local shops at the Sunshine Beach Village Centre;

• The proposed two 2-bedroom units are under the maximum building height and are of a scale
      that is compatible with surrounding development;

• The proposed configuration of the units allows for a high level of amenity to the residents as well
      as to the adjoining premises; and

• The proposed renders demonstrate the variety of materials including textured render, timber
      cladding and battens are which provide visual interest.


On the basis of the above assessment, it is recommended that Noosa Council favourably consider
the proposed Material Change of Use subject to reasonable and relevant conditions. We look
forward to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience.
