located more than 45m from the road alignment, as shown below. The road reserve includes large
eucalypts adjoining the road and will screen any perceived visual built form impacts from the shed.

6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for a caretakers
accommodation and sheds within the riparian buffer area situated at 921 Pomona Kin Kin Rd, Kin
Kin. The proposed development is code assessable and meets the relevant Acceptable and
Performance Outcomes.
The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only—
(a) against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development (The Noosa Plan 2020); and
(b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.
Council, after carrying out the assessment—
(a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of the assessment benchmarks for
the development; and
(b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with some of the assessment benchmarks;
and
Examples—
1 An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.
2 An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and a referral agency’s
response.
(c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and
(d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment benchmarks, decide to refuse the
application only if compliance cannot be achieved by imposing development conditions.
Example of a development condition—
a development condition that affects the way the development is carried out, or the management of uses
or works that are the natural and ordinary consequence of the development, but does not have the effect
of changing the type of development applied for
The assessment finds the development generally complies with all Acceptable and Performance
Outcomes of the applicable codes. The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the
above development application is therefore recommended.
