The subject site is located within the boundaries of the Coastal Communities Local Plan area. The purpose of the
Coastal Communities Local Plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
development within the Coastal Communities Local Plan area.

A full assessment of the proposed development against the relevant overall outcomes for the Coastal
Communities Local Plan code has been provided in Table 11.

 (a)    The Coastal Communities local plan area is an established        Complies with Overall Outcome
        coastal urban area comprising five small communities,
                                                                         The proposed development is for a low-density Dwelling
        namely Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Castaways Beach,
                                                                         House with a design outcome which is consistent with

        is consistent with the defined identity of that community.

 (b)    Development is limited to land within the urban boundary         Complies with Overall Outcome

        discrete character of each community, provide efficient          established urban area and does not impact upon the
        provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained      natural and coastal landscape.

        coastal landscape.

 (c)    Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically        Complies with Overall Outcome
        important areas, retain landscape and built form elements,       The proposed development offers a design outcome
        including significant views and vistas to external elements,     which considers the protection of ecologically important
        the setting, character and identity of each community.           areas, retention of vegetation, significant vistas and
        Valued elements include:                                         views within Peregian Beach.
 i.     Noosa National Park and other local environmental parks;
 ii.    the beaches, waterways, foreshore parkland and coastal
        dune reserves;
 iii.   the high dune system which helps define the individual
        communities through ridges and valleys;
 iv.    Lake Weyba and associated coastal wetlands which form an
        integral part of natural landscape and vistas to the west; and
 v.     Views to Mt Coolum, Emu Mountain, Mt Ninderry, Mt Cooroy
        and Mt Tinbeerwah.

 (d)    Development is consistent with, and does not compromise,         Complies with Overall Outcome
        the close association between the coastal communities and        The proposed development will not compromise
        the beach, the backdrop of protected natural vegetation,         streetscape amenity and is consistent with existing
        which is a key amenity feature in the local plan area, and the   coastal residential development within the immediate
        beachside living in secluded surrounds.                          and broader context. Furthermore, the proposed building

 (e)    Development does not impact on or compromise:                    Complies with Overall Outcome
 i.     the complex high and frequently steep linear dune systems        The proposed development is for a Dwelling house and
        creating protected valleys and exposed ridges leading to the     will not impact or compromise linear dune systems or
        ocean or wetlands on the shores of Lake Weyba; or                drainage lines.
