               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. 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 (20 March 2026).
               3.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Works Codes
               •      Landslide Hazard Overlay Code
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:
               The proposed earthworks are to service the construction of an internal driveway (and driveway
               crossover – which falls under the accepted development provisions) and a future dwelling house.
               The works results in a surplus of 1,000m3 which is proposed to be retained on site towards the rear
               of the allotment. This is considered reasonable provided the balance is appropriate stabilised.
               The works are contained to within the site (aside from the accepted development works). Therefore
               many of the prestart conditions have not been recommended.
               The site is located in the Landslide Hazard Overlay, and a Geotechnical Report has not been
               provided. This can be conditioned.
               It is recommended that the proposed driveway crossover and building pad is crossed off the
               approved plans because they do not relate to this application.
               Engineering is generally satisfied that the proposed works satisfy the relevant provisions of The
               Noosa Plan 2020 subject to the following conditions which are recommended.
               4.     CONSULTATION
               4.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               Not applicable
               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
