Noosa Plan

The site is included in the Noosa Heads Locality and the Attached Housing zone, the intent of which
is to support unit developments. The applicant is seeking approval to change the approved plans to
permit slight changes to the overall development in terms of building form as well as reducing gross
floor areas. The proposed changes to floor area now ensures the development complies with the
revised boundary of the Attached Housing zone of the Noosa Plan.

The revised plans are considered consistent with the conditions of 2003/220653 (23176DA) and
2002/220611 (23120DA) and the provisions of the current Noosa Plan.


Currency Period
The applicant also requests an extension of the currency period for another 4 years for both
applications to enable the revised design to be prepared for the next stage. In support of the
request for extension it is noted that:

                   •   the development approvals comply with the intent of the zone;
                   •   the development approvals comply with the relevant development codes for
                       the locality and use;
                   •   the development approvals are consistent with Council intentions for the area;
                   •   a similar currency period was applied to the previous development stage
                       (adjoining Lot 5) based on similar but otherwise minor design modifications; and
                   •   the applicant requires additional time to prepare for the following stages of the
                       development.
