      5.    The proposed extent of fill and retaining walls will result in a poor visual outcome.
      6.    The proposed development is likely to further burden disaster management response
            and capacity during flood events.
      7.    The proposed reconfiguration and bushfire and flood mitigation strategies do not
            comply with the Noosa Plan 2020.
B.     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

REPORT
1.    PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks to reconfigure the existing lot into 12 lots.
The proposal includes 11 lots between 700m² and 827m² and one larger lot of 9,835m². Four lots
are proposed with individual direct access from Lake Weyba Drive and the remaining 8 lots are to
be accessed from a proposed extension to Sail Street. A T-shaped cul de sac head is proposed to
the north end of the new road with a road reserve up to 20 metres wide. An access easement to a
firebreak is proposed adjacent to the western half of the northern boundary whilst a pathway and
landscaping are located within the eastern half.
The lots are proposed to be mostly filled to mitigate flood risk for detached houses.
A Bushfire Hazard Assessment was provided in the application material and proposes to mitigate
the bushfire fire risk by:
     Determining that the acceptable level of risk for future dwellings are asset protection zones
      which achieve a radiant heat flux of <29kWm2;
     Creating building envelopes which are sited outside of the asset protection zones;
     Providing a 15.5-metre-wide asset protection zone within lots 9 – 12;
     Providing a 20-metre-wide firebreak to the west of the proposed building envelopes for lots
      9 – 12 within lot 12;
     Relying on a cleared area within the adjacent National Park to be maintained as a fire break
      and serve as an asset protection zone for lots 4, 5 and 12.
