               4.     ASSESSMENT
               4.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
               4.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Works Codes – Driveways and Parking, Water Quality and Drainage, Earthworks,
                      Landscaping,
               •      Overlay Code – Acid Sulfate Soils, Bushfire Hazard
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:
               Fire Access Trail
               The proposed fire access trail generally meets the design criteria for a Type 5 Fire Access Trail,
               QUDM and Austroads’ A Guide to Road Design and Guide to Pavement Technology Part 6.
               Additionally, the trail generally complies with the Higher Order Approval and Infrastructure
               Agreement. Sufficient detail has been provided demonstrating that fire fighting appliances and
               construction traffic can manoeuvre the proposed fire access trail.
               The detailed design proposes to protect the crossings from scour by rock-reinforcing the batters at
               a 1:3 grade using 200mm d50 rock at a minimum depth of 250mm. The 200mm d50 rock is
               considered acceptable in line with section 8.7.2 of QUDM for a rock energy dissipater. It is
               recommended that the minimum depth be increased from 250mm to 300mm and included as part
               of amended plans to be provided to Council prior to prestart.
