    Desired Environmental Outcomes of the Noosa Plan 2006.


Applicable Codes

39. There are a number of Planning Scheme Codes relevant to the assessment of this application. A general
    assessment of how the proposal complies with the outcomes of these codes is set out below:


     (a) Noosa Heads Locality Code – The subject land is located in the Noosa Heads Locality and has mixed
         zonings of Attached Housing, Detached Housing and Open Space Conservation. Approximately
         2086sqm of the site area is mapped in the Attached Housing Zone, 2481sqm is mapped in the
         Detached Housing Zone with the remainder of the site zoned for Open Space Conservation. It is
         noted that the land use zonings depicted on Council’s Zoning Map included at Attachment 2 do not
         necessarily align with the actual environmental and slope constraints of the land. Therefore the
         extent of development indicated on the Proposal Plans has been designed to align with the results
         of the technical constraints reporting rather than the broad scale derived zoning map.


         The intent for development within the Noosa Heads Locality (generally) is that new uses and works
         are located, designed and managed to be compatible with adjacent land uses, whilst also avoiding
         significant adverse impacts on amenity and the natural environment. Housing form is also to offer
         a high level of residential amenity, design quality and safety is respectful to the character of the
         streetscape and surrounding development. The proposed development furthers this intent of the
         Noosa Heads Locality Code in the following ways:


          (i)   The proposed development is infill development in an existing urban area and provides a
                design that is responsive to site constraints and maintains the amenity of the surrounding
                area;
