Planning Report

          Stormwater runoff will be collected and discharged into the existing lawful point of discharge within Links
           Drive and subsequently to the Noosa Springs Golf Course, which contains a series of GPTs, sediment
           basins and lakes designed to cater for the ultimate development of the Noosa Springs locality;
          The site has adequate access to reticulated water and sewer, with all new connections to be designed in
           accordance with current engineering design standards.

Refer to enclosed Engineering Report at Appendix D for demonstration of how the proposal meets the technical
requirements of the engineering works codes. Further specific details on proposed earthworks and civil design
will be provided as part of a subsequent operational works application.

BIODIVERSITY OVERLAY CODE

The proposal meets the overall outcomes of the Biodiversity Overlay Code in that:

          The proposal seeks to retain existing mature trees along the southern and eastern boundaries wherever
           possible to ensure minimal ecological and biodiversity impacts on the adjoining Noosa National Park and
           Lake Weyba.

NATURAL HAZARDS OVERLAY CODE

The proposal meets the overall outcomes of the Natural Hazards Overlay Code in that:

          The proposal has been designed to minimise risk of natural hazards, including bushfire, landslip and
           flooding through the location of buildings and driveways to ensure resident safety;
          The proposal will not result in any material increase in the extent or severity of these natural hazards.

Refer to enclosed Geotechnical Assessment at Appendix E and Bushfire Hazard Assessment at Appendix F for
demonstration on how the proposal meets the requirements of the Natural Hazards Overlay Code.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The proposal for Material Change of Use for Multiple Dwelling – Type 4 Conventional (44 Units) over land at Links
Drive, Noosa Heads has been assessed against the relevant provisions of the Noosa Plan and is found to be
generally compliant.

In summary, the proposal provides for:
     a high quality, attractive and integrated residential community incorporating a variety of dwelling sizes
       within a landscaped setting;
     communal recreation areas in a central location for enjoyment by both residents and visitors;
     retention of existing mature trees along the southern and eastern boundaries adjoining the Noosa
       National Park;
     a legible internal road layout which provides for future linkages by both vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists
       to the adjoining land to the north (Precinct F);
     efficient provision of urban infrastructure, including an accessible communal refuse storage and collection
       area;
