RP Description SP149578
1. DETAILS
The proposal is for an exemption certificate relating to proposed alterations to an existing dwelling
house at 81 Lake Flat Rd, Boreen Point (refer Figure 1 and 2). The extensions to the proposed
house are on a lot which is encumbered by the Flood Hazard Overlay Code mapping and is within
the Agricultural Land Overlay Code mapping. The applicant is requesting an exemption from
making the alterations to the existing dwelling assessable due to an error within the Tables of
Assessment within the Noosa Plan 2020 applicable to the Flood Hazard Overlay Code and
additionally seeks an exemption from the Agricultural Land Overlay Code mapping due to the ‘the
effects of the development would be minor or inconsequential, considering the circumstances
under which the development was categorised as assessable development’.
