Planning Report

Response:
The proposed development is located only 3 kilometres from Noosa’s Hastings Street and is within 1 kilometre of
existing public transport along Eenie Creek Road (Translink bus route 622). An existing pedestrian/cycle path runs
along the western side of Resort Drive and extends to Eenie Creek Road.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES

    i.           The efficient provision and use of services such as water, sewerage, power, telecommunications and
                 waste disposal caters for the needs of residents and visitors, relative to their location within Noosa.
    ii.          The ongoing viability of existing infrastructure services and facilities are protected from the impacts of
                 future development.

Response:
The site is adequately serviced by existing urban infrastructure to a suitable standard to accommodate the
proposed development. The internal design of the development allows for future servicing by refuse collection
vehicles in an efficient manner.

The proposed development will not prejudice the ongoing viability of existing infrastructure services and facilities
in any way.



5.2.2      Noosa Heads Locality Plan

A Multiple Dwelling Type 4 Conventional is listed as a consistent use within the Semi-Attached Housing Zone
under the Noosa Heads Locality Plan, subject to impact assessment.

The proposal has been designed to meet the relevant Overall Outcomes for the Noosa Heads Locality as follows:
     The proposed use and associated works are located, designed and managed to be compatible with
       existing and intended future uses in the vicinity of the site;
     The proposal avoids significant adverse impacts on the amenity of existing residents in terms of visual and
       noise impacts;
     The proposal seeks to protect and avoid significant adverse impacts on the adjoining Noosa National Park
       through an appropriate boundary interface utilising a combination of esplanade road and retention of
       existing significant trees along this boundary where possible; and
     The proposal provides for a range of unit types ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms, located in discrete building
       clusters and exhibiting a high level of residential amenity and accessibility.
