               4.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020 (26 September 2025).
               4.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Works Codes;
               The subject site is located in Noosaville and is zoned Major Centre. The proposed use is identified
               as a consistent use within the zone and is required to follow a code assessable application process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:
               Stormwater
               The proposed stormwater design is consistent with the intent of the preliminary stormwater
               treatment plan approved as part of Court Judgement 1998 of 2024. A lawful point of discharge has
               been achieved via an existing stormwater connection provided to the lot as part of previous
               operational works (OPW20/0145).
               Earthworks
               The proposed earthworks align with the preliminary bulk earthworks plan approved as part of Court
               Judgement 1998 of 2024.
               Access
               Access is achieved via an existing vehicle crossover provided as part of previous operational works
               (OPW20/0145). Sufficient manoeuvring areas including a turnaround bay and loading bay are
               provided, allowing ingress and egress of vehicle in a forward gear. A kerb ramp is shown adjacent
               to the existing vehicle crossover, the location is not desirable, conflicting with a traffic island, an
               existing pedestrian crossing and refuge island is located approximately 20m away. The applicant
               agreed for Council to annotate the plans removing kerb ramp.
               Waste
                                                                                                        Page 3 of 12
