 VIRIDIAN NOOSA - PROPOSAL REPORT




   4.4.2            Localities
                    The Noosa Plan divides the whole of the Shire into a series of geographic localities
                    for the purposes of regulating development, the provisions for each of which,
                    including assessment tables and a specific Locality Code, are contained in a Locality
                    Plan.

                    The site is wholly contained within the Noosa Heads Locality (refer to Figure 6 –
                    Zone Map).

                    The applicable provisions of the Noosa Heads Locality Code, comprising the Overall
                    Outcomes, Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions, are included at Appendix A
                    – Town Planning Compliance Schedule.



   4.4.3            Zones
                    The Noosa Plan further divides each of the Localities into a series of Zones which
                    more precisely reflect the preferred pattern of development and land use.

                    The Resort is subject to a split zoning under the planning scheme, being partly the
                    Attached Housing Zone and partly Open Space Conservation Zone (refer to Figure
                    6 – Zone Map). However, as the proposed development does not alter the built
                    form of the existing resort, is not situated within the Open Space Conservation
                    Zone and does not alter the existing arrangements for the protection of the open
                    space, conservation and environmental functions of the site, the development
                    assessment provisions for development in the Open Space Conservation Zone do
                    not apply to the proposed development.
                    The development assessment provisions which are applicable to development in the
                    Attached Housing Zone are contained in the Noosa Heads Locality Code under the
                    planning scheme and included herein at Appendix A – Town Planning
                    Compliance Schedule.



   4.4.4            Precincts
                    The Noosa Plan provides for certain Zones to incorporate Precincts which provide a
                    finer level of guidance as to the pattern and nature of development that was
                    anticipated at the time the planning scheme was prepared. The Noosa Plan does
                    not further divide the subject site into Precincts.


   4.4.5            Overlays
                    A series of four Overlays are included in the planning scheme, each of which
                    identifies the extent of a range of environmental, heritage and locational
                    constraints throughout the Shire.

                    The site is affected by the following Overlays:-
                              
     Biodiversity Overlay;
