A. Refuse Application No. RAL18/0009 for a Development Permit for Reconfiguring A Lot -
1 lot into 2 lots, situated at 20 Mitti Street, Noosa Heads for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is not consistent with The Noosa Plan’s Reconfiguring a Lot Code as
the proposed lots are not suitable for their intended use as they do not contain
house site areas 100% above the 1% AEP flood level with lot 1 subject to
significant flooding from an overland drainage path.

flooding impacts.

Code as the proposal will not maintain the safety of people and will not achieve a
high level of residential amenity for residents given the overland drainage path that
traverses the property.
5. The proposed reconfiguration will ultimately place more people within an area
which has a clear risk of flooding compromising people’s safety.
6. The proposed lots do not comply with The Noosa Plan’s Reconfiguring a Lot Code
