in the sections below.

5.3 PLANNING SCHEME CODES

A review of the relevant planning scheme codes has been undertaken which confirms the proposed
development complies with most Acceptable Outcomes of the relevant codes. Where the proposal
does not comply with the Acceptable Outcomes of the codes, the below provides alternate solutions to
satisfy the corresponding Performance Outcome.

The assessment of the proposed development against the Noosa Plan 2020 has determined that there
are no planning scheme conflicts.

Refer below alternate solutions adopted for the primary codes applicable to the proposed
development.

5.3.1 RURAL ZONE CODE

The purpose of the Rural zone is to:

    (a) provide for rural uses and activities; and
    (b) provide for other uses and activities that are compatible with:
                    1. existing and future rural uses and activities; and
                    2. the character and environmental features of the zone; and
    (c) maintain the capacity of land for rural uses and activities by protecting and managing
    significant natural resources and processes.

Comment: The proposal is considered a consistent use within the Rural zone. The proposal is for a
dwelling house and secondary dwelling.

The relevant overall outcomes for the zone are outlined below:

 incompatible uses.                                  a Dwelling House and Secondary Dwelling,
                                                     which are allowable uses within the Rural zone.
                                                     The proposal does not compromise the viability
                                                     of potential future rural activities with
                                                     inconsistent land uses. We note that AO1.1 of
                                                     the Low Density Housing Code anticipates
                                                     dwelling houses in the Rural zone.

 (c) Areas for primary production are conserved      Section 5.4 of this report provides overlay

                                                     Conservation Area, specifically at the front of the
                                                     site within the access strip and cleared area, and
                                                     towards the rear of the site over the dam. The
                                                     proposed built form is located outside of mapped
                                                     areas.
