2 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
2.1 SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The subject land, being Lot 373 on Crown Plan P93115, is located at 29 Currawong Crescent, Peregian Beach and
is approximately 10km by road south of Noosa Heads CBD, as shown in Figure 1 below. The subject land is
identified as being located within the Low Density Residential Zone according to the Noosa Plan 2020.
The property contains a single dwelling house, a swimming pool and a large shed.
The land is sloping from a high point of RL30.2m AHD at the northern boundary to a low point of RL29.17m AHD
in the south eastern corner.
Vehicular access to the dwelling house on the subject land is via a paved crossover from Currawong Crescent
which is a bitumen sealed road with grass shoulders and verge. A second concrete crossover from Currawong
Crescent gives access to the large shed at the side of the property. The subject land also has a frontage, but no
vehicular access, to David Low Way.
The subject land is connected to all reticulated services.

3 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
It is proposed to obtain a Development Permit over the subject land for Reconfiguring a Lot – 1 lot into 2 lots and
Operational Works associated with the reconfiguration. Please refer to Colston Surveyors Subdivision Plan of
Development in Attachment 5 and Crocker & Associates Operational Works Drawings in Attachment 6.
3.1 PROPOSAL
The proposal is to subdivide the land into two residential lots.
Proposed lot sizes are:
Proposed Lot 31: 931m2
Proposed Lot 32: 854m2
Proposed Lot 31 will retain the existing dwelling house, swimming pool and small shed.
Proposed Lot 32 will contain the large shed.
A building envelope on Proposed Lot 32 shows a building area of about 514m2.
Both lots will have separate vehicular accesses via the existing crossovers from Currawong Crescent.
3.2 ACCESS AND TRAFFIC
Both lots will have separate vehicular accesses via the existing crossovers from Currawong Crescent.
Proposed Lot 31 will have vehicular access to the dwelling house on the subject land via an existing paved
crossover from Currawong Crescent.
A second existing concrete crossover from Currawong Crescent will be upgraded to Council’s standards and will
give access to Proposed Lot 32.
3.3 SERVICES
The subject land is connected to all reticulated services.
Crocker & Associates Operational Works Drawings in Attachment 6 show how water and sewerage can be
extended to service the new lot. A sewer easement will be created over Lot 31 in favour of Lot 32 as shown on
the drawings.
Existing lots on the northern side of Currawong Crescent drain stormwater into the verge which then makes its
way to Council’s stormwater infrastructure near 17 Currawong Crescent as shown in Figure 6 below. It is
proposed to have a similar arrangement for both lots as part of this subdivision. Both lots will contain a
stormwater infiltration pit with an overflow directed onto the verge as shown in Crocker & Associates Operational
Works Drawings in Attachment 6. The infiltration systems will take stormwater from roofs and will store the
water before slowly releasing to the verge.

4 LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
4.1 PLANNING ACT 2016
The Planning Act 2016 is the overriding legislation for this Development Application. Compliance with the Act and
any subordinate legislation will be demonstrated and where any conflict exists with compliance, sufficient
justification will be provided.
4.2 STATE PLANNING POLICY
The subject land has been identified as containing state interests and therefore the State Planning Policy (SPP) is
applicable to the development. These interests are detailed in Table 2 below.
Table 2: State Interests
State Interest Details
Flood hazard area – Local Government flood mapping area
Natural Hazards Risks and Resilience
Bushfire prone area
Obstacle limitation surface area
Strategic Airports and Aviation Facilities
Wildlife hazard buffer zone
Part 2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 states that the State Planning Policy has been integrated into the planning scheme
and therefore this report is not required to address the above state interests.
4.3 SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLAN
The subject land is located in the Urban Footprint of the South East Queensland Regional Plan and the
development is consistent with the intent of the South East Queensland Regional Plan.
4.4 DEVELOPMENT REFERRALS FOR ASSESSMENT
In accordance with the Planning Regulation 2017, the development will require referral for the following matter:
Table 3: Referral Triggers
Relevant Provisions of the Planning Regulation 2017 Triggered by the Application Referral Authority
Premises contaminated because of unexploded ordnance: Schedule 10, Part 4, Division 3, Table 1 SARA
– Reconfiguring a Lot that is assessable development under s 21
Development application for the following development, if all or part of the premises are
shown as an area of substantial unexploded ordnance potential in a mapping layer in the
development assessment mapping system published on the department’s website—
(a) reconfiguring a lot that is assessable development under section 21;
(b) a material change of use that is assessable development under a local categorising
instrument

5 NOOSA PLAN 2020
5.1 APPLICABLE CODES
The following codes of the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
Coastal Communities Local Plan Code
Low Density Residential Zone Code
Reconfiguring a Lot Code
Driveways and Parking Code
Water Quality and Drainage Code
The Codes are addressed in 5.3 below. The proposed development will demonstrate compliance with all
applicable codes and where any conflict exists with compliance, sufficient justification will be provided.
5.2 LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT
The proposal has been identified in the Planning Scheme as being Code Assessable because the proposed lot sizes
can meet the minimum lot sizes specified in Column 2 of Table 9.5.1.4 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
5.3 CODES OF THE NOOSA PLAN 2020
5.3.1 COASTAL COMMUNITIES LOCAL PLAN CODE
The proposed reconfiguration into two lots complies with the intent of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code
by providing a complying development within the urban boundary.
Acceptable Outcome AO4 of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code requires that development adjacent to
David Low Way incorporates landscaping that complements the natural species occurring in the local area,
protects existing vegetation with the road reserve and incorporates design elements that add visual interest to
the streetscape. As can be seen in the figure below, the road reserve of David Low Way adjacent to the subject
land contains extensive vegetation and a footpath. Therefore, it is not proposed to provide additional vegetation
as part of this development.
Figure 8: David Low Way road reserve adjacent to subject land
Planning Report | 29 Currawong Crescent, Peregian Beach | 19/10/2021 12
Page 13
The subject land is not adjacent to a gateway or special place identified in Figure 7.2.6.4 Peregian Beach Framework and Character Plan. The subject land is also not in a primary streetscape treatment area or a key development site. It is not expected that a future dwelling on Proposed Lot 32 will interrupt or encroach upon key contextual views. A footpath is existing on David Low Way and it is not proposed to provide any further footpaths. There are no existing footpaths in Currawong Crescent. 5.3.2 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL CODE The proposed reconfiguration into two lots complies with the intent of the Low Density Residential Code by providing a reconfiguration intended for a low density dwelling type. The look of the neighbourhood will be able to be maintained with the additional lot. All reticulated services are available to the site and the development will not have an impact on services. The subject land is well-landscaped and where possible, all mature trees will be retained. Acceptable Outcome AO9.1 requires a 6m setback from the road frontage, or allows a 4.5m reduced setback to a second road frontage when the lot is less than 600m2 or less than 15m. Proposed Lot 32 has frontages to both Currawong Crescent and David Low Way and the existing crossover is from Currawong Crescent. Proposed Lot 32 is 854m2 in area and approximately 20m wide, however the building envelope has been given a 4.5m setback considering the extensive landscaping in the David Low Way road reserve and the slightly irregular shape of the internal boundary as a result of the swimming pool. The proposal can comply with the setback requirements of Performance Outcome PO9 by providing sufficient space between the existing dwelling and the new building envelope that will not obstruct views, cause overlooking or prevent access to sunlight.

5.3.4 DRIVEWAYS AND PARKING CODE The proposed new lot complies with the intent of the Driveways and Parking Code in that the development provides a large lot that has adequate space for parking and manoeuvring. Access to the new lot is existing and will not impact on existing landscaping. The crossover to Proposed Lot 32 will be upgraded in accordance with Council’s standard requirements. A footpath is not proposed given there are no footpaths in Currawong Crescent and a new footpath will detract from the amenity of the area. There is an existing footpath in the David Low Way verge. Proposed Lot 31 contains an existing dwelling with a double garage. Proposed Lot 32 is adequate in size to contain a dwelling with a double garage. The remainder of the Driveways & Parking Code is not applicable. 5.3.5 WATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE CODE The reconfiguration is consistent with the Water Quality and Drainage Code in that it provides a stormwater drainage system to convey stormwater from the lawful point of discharge to Council’s stormwater infrastructure. Existing lots on the northern side of Currawong Crescent drain stormwater into the verge which then makes its way to Council’s stormwater infrastructure near 17 Currawong Crescent. It is proposed to have a similar arrangement for both lots as part of this subdivision. Both lots will contain a stormwater infiltration pit with an overflow directed onto the verge as shown in Crocker & Associates Operational Works Drawings in Attachment 6. The infiltration systems will take stormwater from roofs and will store the water before slowly releasing to the verge. Planning Report | 29 Currawong Crescent, Peregian Beach | 19/10/2021 24

6 CONCLUSION The Development Application is for the issue of a Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot – one lot into two lots and Operational Work for civil works associated with the reconfiguration. The proposed development complies with all of the Acceptable Outcomes of the Planning Scheme Codes which are applicable to this development or alternative solutions have been provided. The proposed reconfiguration is consistent with existing lot sizes within Currawong Crescent and would not have an impact on services, nor would it be detrimental to the amenity of the area. We trust the details of the Development Application set out above are satisfactory and please contact the writer for any further details if required.
