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.
