planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The following assessment benchmarks are
applicable and have been appropriately considered in preparing this development application:

 State interest               Assessment against assessment benchmark
 Coastal Environment          The relevant State Interest seeks for the coastal environment to be
                              protected and enhanced, while supporting opportunities for coastal-
                              dependent development, compatible urban form along the state’s coastal
                              land. The site is within the urban footprint and the development is
                              seaward of the coastal building line.



6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a minor change to conditions 1 (approved plans) and 50 (southern side
setback) of existing MCU Development Permit 23814 DA. The proposed additional covering of the
existing stairs complies with the definition of a minor change under Schedule 2 of the Planning Act
2016 and is not substantially different development in accordance with Schedule 1 of the DA Rules
2017.

The assessment finds the development meets the relevant Specific and Overall Outcomes of the
Noosa Plan, subject to the following grounds of approval:

      •   The high-quality building and landscaping design enhances the coastal character of the area
          which is sympathetic and does not detrimentally impact the locality;

      •   The setback is consistent with recently approved adjoining developments and does not
          adversely impact upon natural coastal processes; and

      •   The design is sympathetic to the coastal environment protects the visual amenity enjoyed by
          users and others.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require any further information and/or clarification
with respect to the above application.
