Planning Report - Sunshine Beach Surf Club · MCU17/0024.04

8. Noosa Plan 2020 Considerations

8.1 Level of Assessment

The existing approval for the surf lifesaving component is for Recreation, amusement and fitness
which was subject to Impact Assessment in 2017 under The Noosa Plan 2006. Similarly, the Noosa
Plan 2020, identifies the use as a Club and subject to Impact Assessment if greater than 300m².

The proposed facility fits within the definition of Emergency Services and as such the current
proposal is required to be assessed against the provisions of the entire planning scheme with the
most applicable codes including:

   • Coastal Communities Local Plan Code;

   • Recreation and Open Space Zone Code;

   • Communities Activities Code; and

   • Works Codes

The Planning Act states that the local authority is to consider the following in assessing and deciding
other change applications:

        82 (2) For administering the change application, and assessing and deciding the change
        application in the context of the development approval, the relevant provisions apply—

                 (a) as if—

                          (i) the responsible entity were the assessment manager; and

                          (ii) the change application were the original development application, with
                          the changes included, but was made when the change application was
                          made; and

                 (b) with necessary changes.

        (4) To remove any doubt, it is declared that the following matters apply, only to the extent
        the matters are relevant to assessing and deciding the change application in the context
        of the development approval—

                 (a) the assessment benchmarks;

                 (b) any matters a referral agency must, may, or may only assess the application
                 against or have regard to under section 55(2);

                 (c) if the development to which the change application relates requires code
                 assessment—any matters the assessment must be carried out having regard to
                 under section 45(3)(b);

                 (d) if the development to which the change application relates requires impact
                 assessment—any matters the assessment must or may be carried out against or
                 having regard to under section 45(5)(a)(ii) or (b).
