Minor Change Report 132004 5744 13 [As Published] · 132004.5744.13

               The original application was lodged and assessed under the 1990 Noosa Planning Scheme with
               due weight given to the Noosa Plan 2006 as the draft scheme was at an advanced stage. The
               Planning Act 2016 requires minor change applications to be assessed against the planning scheme
               in effect at the time of the original application (1990 Planning Scheme), however Council may give
               weight to the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor change application being lodged
               (Noosa Plan 2020 – v 25 September 2020).
               The subject site was split zoned Semi-Attached Housing and Open Space Conservation, within
               the Noosaville Local Plan under Noosa Plan 2006. Under Noosa Plan 2020, the site is zoned
               Medium Density Residential and Environmental Management and Conversation, located in the
               Noosaville Local Plan Area.
               A Retirement Facility is a consistent use on this site under both planning schemes, however
               extensions of the use into the Environmental Management and Conservation split zone is an
               inconsistent use. This is discussed further below.
               Environmental Management and Conservation Zoning
               With the works located within the Environmental Management and Conservation Zone, the works
               are assessable against the Zone Code:
               PO1
               The Environmental management and conservation zone primarily protects land identified
               as ecologically important areas, water catchments, beach protection or coastal management areas
               and land with historical or cultural values.
               &
               PO5
               Development maintains the primary function of the zone and protects ecologically important areas,
               water catchments, waterway connectivity, marine plants, beach protection and coastal
               management areas and land with historical or cultural values.
               Assessment:
               The shed is a 6m x 6m x 3.329m shed which is to be sited in an area of gravel driveway. The
               specific site has been selected so as to retain and protect the surrounding land subject to the
               Environmental Management and Conservation Zone. All ecologically important areas are retained
               as part of this development and no clearing of vegetation disturbance of ecological areas are
               proposed. As such both the environmental values themselves as well as the primary functions of
               these areas is ultimately unchanged/retained.
               AO8.2
               Buildings and structures are set back —
                      a.      20 metres from a street frontage;
                      b.      10 metres from boundaries adjoining land in a residential zone;
                      c.      a distance greater than the width of the riparian buffer area shown on Biodiversity,
                              Waterway and Wetland Overlay maps;
                      d.      100 metres from the level of Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) in tidal areas (and to
                              incorporate natural vegetation and other buffer elements)
                      e.      50 metres from freshwater habitats (and to incorporate natural vegetation and other
                              buffer elements)
                      f.      4.5 metres to other boundaries; and
                      g.      3 metres from another building or structure on the same site.
               Assessment:
               The proposed shed is to be 4.3m from a street frontage (although not accessible from the frontage)
               and as such does not comply with Acceptable Outcome.
