The location of the proposed secondary dwelling has been driven by the existing electrical infrastructure
easement running through the site and utilising existing cleared land. As mentioned, the dwelling will
be transport to the site and is on stumps which means the house can also be removed at any point in
the future if the land is capable and suitable for agriculture. For these reason, we consider the proposal
complies with PO2.


CONCLUSIONS

This letter has been prepared to support a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for a Dwelling
House (Secondary Dwelling).

Under the Noosa Plan 2020 the site is located in the Rural zone and as the application seeks approval
for a secondary dwelling that will be located more within 200m from land included in the Rural zone
and within the Agricultural Land Conservation Area as shown in Agricultural Land Overlap Maps, the
proposal is subject to code assessment.

The development assessment set out in this letter demonstrates that the proposal complies with the
applicable local planning provisions and concludes that approval of the proposed development can be
supported on the following grounds:

      the proposed development is a consistent use in the Rural zone;

      the proposal appropriately addresses the relevant planning scheme overlays;

      the secondary dwelling generally complies with the relevant AO’s of the Rural zone code. The
       proposal is also considered to comply with PO2 in the Rural zone code; and

      the site is constrained by an easement (electrical infrastructure) and the location of the new
       dwelling has been site on existing cleared land to minimise any vegetation clearing.
