        Noosa Plan 2020

        Under the Noosa Plan 2020, the subject land is included within the Tourist Accommodation Zone (refer
        Figure 3).


        Under the table of assessment of the Tourist Accommodation Zone (Table 5.5.4) a Food and Drink Outlet is
        subject to code assessment where having frontage to Gympie Terrace, which is the case here. Consequently,
        a food and drink outlet in this location is a consistent use and reasonably expected within the zone and in
        this location more generally.


        The relevant codes for the assessment under the planning scheme, include:
             •   Noosaville Local Plan Code
             •   Tourist Accommodation Zone Code
             •   Business Activities Code; and
             •   Works Code.


        It is noted that under the planning scheme the following overlays apply:
             •   Acid Sulfate Soils – land 5m (AHD) or below (Area 1); and
             •   Flood Hazard Overlay.


        Under the tables of assessment for the Flood Hazard Overlay (Table 5.9.6), the Flood Hazard Overlay Code
        does not apply to a development application for a material change of use for an existing building, which is
        the case here. Consequently, an assessment against the Flood Hazard Overlay Code is not required. In any
        event, as noted above, the existing development has elevated floor levels and therefore enjoys some flood
        immunity. Further, given no excavation or filling work is being undertaken on the site the Acid Sulfate Soils
        Overlay Code also does not apply.
