                                                              The site is identified under the Natural Hazard:
                                                              Bushfire & Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay as

                                                              The site is considered development ready with
                                                              no natural hazard constraints.       No further
                                                              natural hazards assessment is required.



6.4 PLANNING SCHEME CODES

While the application is assessable against the entire planning scheme, the following Codes are applicable
to the proposed development:

•     Noosaville Locality Code;
•     Business Uses Code;
•     Landscaping Code;
•     Engineering Works Codes;
       o    Driveways and Carparking Code
       o    Transport, Roads and Drainage Code
       o    Erosion and Sediment Control Code
       o    Existing Services Code
       o    Earthworks Code
       o    Waste Management Code
       o    Water Sensitive Design Code


Comment: An assessment of the applicable codes has been included within Attachment 1. This code
assessment has determined that the proposal generally complies with all probable solutions and specific
outcomes. Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution demonstrating compliance with
the specific outcome is provided, with the exception of specific outcome O16 of the Noosaville Locality
Code, relating to plot ratio. The following sections detail the alternative solutions and outcomes provided,
including sufficient planning grounds to justify the conflicts with specific outcomes.

6.4.1       ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

•     Noosaville Locality Code - Specific Outcome O21 – Materials and Finishes

While the site is not within the Industry Zone, the site adjoins the Industry Zone and the use is for
industrial purposes. The proposed building has materials and finishes that are consistent with surrounding
character and the recently approved building on adjoining Lot 3.
