aspects of the planning scheme is outlined below.

The proposal is defined by the Planning Scheme as follows:

          Dwelling House means –a residential use of premises involving—
        a) one dwelling for a single household and any domestic outbuildings associated with the
           dwelling; or
        b) one dwelling for a single household, a secondary dwelling and any domestic
           outbuildings associated with either dwelling.

Table 5.5.13 Categories of development and assessment – Rural of the Noosa Plan 2020. The level of
assessment is unchanged by the development assessment Table 5.9 Categories of development and
assessment – Overlays.

4.1.3    Zone Designation

The subject site is located within the Rural zoning designation of the Planning Scheme. The purpose of this
zone is to provide for rural uses and activities and provide for other uses and activities that are compatible
with existing and future rural uses.

Assessment – The proposal has been assessed against the relevant overall outcomes of rural zone code
and is considered to reflect a development outcome anticipated for the land. It is noted that the dwelling
house is situated within 200m from land on an adjacent rural property, however due to the environmental
constraints within other areas of the subject site, the proposed location for the dwelling is deemed most
appropriate in context.
