164 Edwards St - Duplex MCU App - Planning Report

1.   Summary

RG Strategic has prepared this development application on behalf of Adam Flanagan and Shane
Tye. The subject site is located at 164 Edwards Street, Sunshine Beach 4567, and is formally
described as Lot 108 on RP94566 as shown on Figure 3.

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of
Use for a Dual Occupancy use.

The site is included in the Medium Density Residential Zone within the Sunshine Beach locality of the
Noosa Plan 2020. An application of this nature within the Medium Density Residential Zone triggers
Code Assessment.

The proposed development of this site constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the
Planning Act 2016. This report demonstrates that the proposed Material Change of Use of Premises
for a Dual Occupancy (duplex) is permitted.

This planning report provides greater detail of the nature of the proposal, describes the site
characteristics and surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory assessment against the intents
and code requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020. These matters are set out in;

          • Proposed development intent;

          • Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;

          • Proposed development details;

          • An assessment of the proposal against the State planning interests;
          • An assessment of the proposal against the SEQ Regional Plan;
          • An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2020; and
          • A conclusion that summarises the grounds which support the proposed development.


This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form 1 and
Appendix A Proposed Site Plan. This report comprehensively addresses the merits of the
development with regard to the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 and other relevant matters as
prescribed in the Planning Act 2016. The development is appropriate and is not anticipated to
impact upon the amenity of the locality. Council’s approval of the application is therefore sought,
subject to relevant and reasonable conditions.
