Code
7.2.6 Coastal Communities Local Plan Code
7.2.6.1 Application
This code applies to assessable development-
(a) within the Coastal Communities local plan area as shown on Map ZM-14 - Coastal Communities contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
(b) identified as requiring assessment against the Coastal Communities local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of Assessment).
7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
Coastal Communities
(1) 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.
(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Coastal Communities local plan area:
(a) The Coastal Communities local plan area is an established coastal urban area comprising five small communities, namely Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach,
Castaways Beach, Marcus Beach, and Peregian Beach, each with a separate character and identity. Development within each community is consistent with
the defined identity of that community.
(b) Development is limited to land within the urban boundary providing a defined edge to protect and reinforce the discrete character of each community, provide
efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and retain the integrity and health of the natural and coastal landscape.
(c) Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain landscape and built form elements, including significant views and vistas to
external elements, the setting, character and identity of each community. Valued elements include:
(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, the close association between the coastal communities and the beach, the backdrop of protected
natural vegetation, which is a key amenity feature in the local plan area, and the beachside living in secluded surrounds.
(e) Development does not impact on or compromise:
(i) the complex high and frequently steep linear dune systems creating protected valleys and exposed ridges leading to the ocean or wetlands on the
shores of Lake Weyba; or
(ii) the drainage lines (being Burgess, Castaways, Marcus and Peregian Creeks and their tributaries) that form deep depressions between the dunes and
define the boundaries between the communities of the local plan area.

Part 7 Local plans \ 7.2 Local Plan Codes \ 7.2.6 Coastal Communities Local Plan
Code
(f) Development recognises and reflects the sensitivity of the coastal environment including the high dune system, and is sited and designed to:
(i) protect ecologically important areas and ecological processes;
(ii) retain the key landscape elements that contribute to the ecosystem health; and
(iii) ensure development is well separated from these dune and waterway systems.
(g) Development recognises the importance of the vegetated backdrop and does not compromise the role of the dune and waterway systems in defining
landforms between the communities.
(h) Development recognises and reinforces the close relationship between the natural character of the area and its attractiveness to residents and visitors. In this
context, development is subservient to the natural landscape, sits lightly within the landscape, sensitively responds to the topography of the area and provides
densely landscaped settings, with existing mature trees and vegetation retained wherever possible.
(i) Development protects vegetated views from David Low Way and the beach by restricting the extent of clearing for structures, services and access, limiting the
vertical and horizontal scale of development and incorporating existing and new vegetation that frames or filters views.
(j) Activity centres at Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Peregian Beach provide for the convenience needs of residents, as well as visitors within the local
community.
(k) Whilst opportunities exist for the expansion or enhancement of business functions in both Sunrise Beach Neighbourhood Centre and Peregian Beach Local
Centre, residents continue to rely on larger centres in Noosa Heads and Noosaville and/or centres outside Noosa Shire to fulfil their higher order business,
community and industry needs.
(l) Development in the Local centre zone at Peregian Beach retains and enhances the built form and streetscape character of the centre and promotes activity
and vitality through the provision of active street frontages and strong pedestrian connections between private development and adjacent public spaces.
(m) Sites identified for visitor accommodation are retained and developed for that use to maintain a diversity and choice of visitor accommodation and affordability
in the local plan area.
(n) Development in the Low Density Residential zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached houses, secondary dwellings and rooming
accommodation.
(o) Development in the Medium Density and High Density Residential zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types including small dwellings,
rooming accommodation, dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
(p) Residential development incorporates affordable rental premises.
(q) Residential development incorporates accessible housing.
(r) Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
(s) Development in the local plan area is supported by an extensive network of open space and passive recreation opportunities offered by the foreshore parks,
reserves and Noosa National Parks. A buffer between urban development and Noosa National Park facilitates regular fire fuel reduction burning.
(t) Girraween Estate in the north west of the local plan area provides a range of regional recreational and community facilities including sporting ovals, schools,
aquatic centre, churches and indoor sports and recreation for the local plan area. These facilities serve much of the Noosa coastal urban area.
(u) Surf club facilities located at Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach are retained and continue to provide organised sporting, recreational, patrolled beach/life-
saving, entertainment and community support to the local plan area. Redevelopment or additional development at either site does not extend further seaward,
is consistent with the respective primary patrolled beach/life-saving function of the club, and does not compromise its respective landscape and ecological
setting nor its future resilience to the impacts of coastal erosion and long term beach recession.
(v) The local plan area enjoys moderate to high levels of accessibility to Coolum in the South and Noosa Heads in the north. Eenie Creek Road provides high
accessibility for the northern part of the local plan area to Noosaville and Tewantin. These accessibility levels are to be maintained and traffic generation of
any individual development, or cumulative generation, and impacts, do not compromise these levels of accessibility.

(w) Development facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within the local plan area. Access to the
foredune and beachfront area is provided via formalised communal access points designed to protect dune systems and not individual private accesses.
(x) Development in Sunshine Beach —
(i) provides a range of housing types for permanent residents.
(ii) for visitor accommodation is managed appropriately so as not to reduce the amenity of the surrounding permanent residents and to retain and adequate
supply of permanent housing in the local plan area;
(iii) in the Neighbourhood Centre zone provides mixed use buildings that contain a range of small scale business uses that support local resident needs, as
well as visitors with permanent residential uses above up to three storeys.
(iv) in the Neighbourhood Centre zone for entertainment and dining activities are well designed and may operate after hours and include controlled live
acoustic and amplified music and entertainment, to create a vibrant atmosphere.
(v) adjacent to beach areas does not visually compromise the setting of the public beach, nor adversely affect views for the beach.
(y) Development in Sunrise Beach —
(i) provides a high proportion of detached houses and some multi-unit accommodation for permanent residents including families.
(ii) provides a mix of commercial and community uses including convenience shopping, schools, other community facilities located in Ben Lexcen Drive
serving the convenience needs of residents;
(iii) ensures higher order services locate in the local centre of Peregian Beach, or the district centres of Noosa Junction and Noosaville.
(z) Development in Castaways Beach —
(i) provides predominantly detached housing for permanent residents.
(ii) contains no commercial or retail uses— a feature recognised as being an important element of local character.
(aa) Development in Marcus Beach —
(i) provides housing, predominantly for permanent residents, in a secluded vegetated setting.
(ii) maintains and accentuates its low density beachside character by retaining mature vegetation, and curvilinear streets enclosed by undulating topography
and the adjoining dune system.
(iii) maintains the established beachside character which is integrated with the low dunes and their vegetation, framed and enclosed by the high dune
system which forms the only substantial break in the linear pattern of development between Sunshine Beach to the north and Peregian Beach to the
south.
(iv) contains no commercial or retail uses — a feature recognised as being an important element of local character.
(bb) Development in Peregian Beach —
(i) provides local convenience shopping, business and employment services, for both permanent residents and visitors.
(ii) provides multi-unit accommodation located in close proximity to the Peregian Beach Local Centre.
(iii) maintains Peregian Beach Local Centre’s ‘signature’ informal village-like atmosphere, featuring a low key, attractive village square that distinguishes the
Peregian Beach Local Centre from other centres in the local plan area and the wider region. Development and redevelopment maintains the existing
strong sense of place and the centre’s function and capacity to provide a public focus for local community interaction and activity.
(iv) provides a slightly wider range of employment opportunities than other parts of the local plan area due to its more distant separation from a major urban
centre.
(v) in the Innovation zone includes the digital hub and other professional services for local businesses both within and outside the local plan area as well as
providing employment opportunities in the digital and creative technology sectors.
(vi) in the Tourist accommodation zone provides for visitor accommodation up to two storeys.

(a) maintain coastal processes including erosion and accretion processes to enable these natural functions to continue;
(b) maintain the protective function of coastal resources including vegetation and dunes to mitigate risks associated with coastal erosion;
(c) ensure development is designed and sited to protect the natural beach experience and scenic amenity of the coastal area enjoyed by Noosa Shire residents
and visitors; and
(d) ensure natural beach values, sea turtles and sea turtle nesting areas are protected from the impacts of development.
Editor's Note—Coastal hazards including coastal erosion, storm tide inundation, or permanent inundation from sea level rise. The term includes the impacts from climate change. Storm
tide inundation is specifically addressed in the Flood Hazard overlay code.
Editor's Note—Coastal Erosion Areas are identified on Council's online mapping for the years 2040, 2070 and 2100.
(2) The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:
(a) Development allows for natural processes of erosion and accretion to occur naturally, including as a result of sea level rise.
(b) Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal areas are not impacted by development to mitigate coastal hazard risks
and to protect environmental values;
(c) Development is designed and sited to protect the visual character and scenic amenity of the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Area and to integrate with
the surrounding natural landscape and skyline vegetation; and
(d) Development avoids artificial lighting that is directly visible from the beach to minimise impacts on nesting sea turtles.
