planning report Noosa Marina 12.10.20

Notwithstanding the above, the design replaces an existing shade sail and umbrellas previously used
in this area - greatly improving the built form and amenity for users of the facility. Furthermore, the
view from the river is also enhanced with a more sympathetic design in keeping with the existing
buildings and a more contemporary design.
The development is considered to comply with Performance Outcome PO18, which seeks
development to comprise timber and tin construction with a traditional pitched design and the
proposed development incorporates these materials/elements.
Considering the existing large shade sail in the area of proposed works, the proposal does not
increase the building footprint of structures onsite and reduces the overall use area for dining and
impacts on carparking. The proposal is consistent with the Overall and Purpose Outcomes of the
Tewantin Locality Code.

5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part.

Development in the erosion prone area, as shown on the SPP interactive mapping system, will be
subject to assessment against the assessment benchmarks – natural hazards, risk and resilience
within the State Planning Policy. An assessment is provided below.


 State interest               Assessment against assessment benchmark
 Natural Hazards              The site is located within the Erosion Prone Area of the SPP, however
 (Coastal)                    not located within a coastal management district. The development is
                              located above the existing flood areas so as to not cause a risk to people
                              and property.


6.0 Conclusion
The assessment finds the proposal respects the existing development approval and generally meets
the relevant statutory instruments including The Noosa Plan, subject to the following reasons:

      •   The built form changes match in with the existing development and provide for a more
          useable restaurant tenancy; 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.
