 7.2.6 Coastal Communities Local Plan Code

 7.2.6.1 Application
     This code applies to assessable development­
     (a)   within the Coastal Communities local plan area as shown on Map ZM­14 ­ Coastal Communities contained within Schedule
           2 (Mapping); and
     (b)   identified as requiring assessment against the Coastal Communities local plan code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
           (Tables of Assessment).

 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes

     Coastal Communities
     (1)   The purpose of the Coastal Communities local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the
           assessment of development within the Coastal Communities local plan area.
     (2)   The following overall outcomes apply to the Coastal Communities local plan area:
           (a)    The Coastal Communities local plan area is an established coastal urban area comprising five small communities,
                  namely Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Castaways Beach, Marcus Beach, and Peregian Beach, each with a
                  separate character and identity. Development within each community is consistent with the defined identity of that
                  community.
           (b)    Development is limited to land within the urban boundary providing a defined edge to protect and reinforce the discrete
                  character of each community, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained land and
                  retain the integrity and health of the natural and coastal landscape.
           (c)    Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain landscape and built form elements,
                  including significant views and vistas to external elements, the setting, character and identity of each community.
                  Valued elements include:
                  (i)     Noosa National Park and other local environmental parks;
                  (ii)    the beaches, waterways, foreshore parkland and coastal dune reserves;
                  (iii)   the high dune system which helps define the individual communities through ridges and valleys;
                  (iv)    Lake Weyba and associated coastal wetlands which form an integral part of natural landscape and vistas to the
                          west; and
                  (v)     Views to Mt Coolum, Emu Mountain, Mt Ninderry, Mt Cooroy and Mt Tinbeerwah.

           (d)    Development is consistent with, and does not compromise, the close association between the coastal communities
                  and the beach, the backdrop of protected natural vegetation, which is a key amenity feature in the local plan area,
                  and the beachside living in secluded surrounds.
           (e)    Development does not impact on or compromise:
                  (i)     the complex high and frequently steep linear dune systems creating protected valleys and exposed ridges
                          leading to the ocean or wetlands on the shores of Lake Weyba; or
