planning report subdivision 434 Lake Cooroibah Rd · RAL26/0015

5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part.

The entire site is mapped as Coastal Management District and includes part of the low-lying areas
adjoining Lake Cooroibah as an Erosion Prone Area. The assessment against State Development
Assessment Provision 8 is included with this application, and concludes there is no new house site
areas within the erosion prone areas and/or result in vegetation removal within areas of MSES.

6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a Development Permit for Reconfiguring a lot (1 lot into 2 lots) situated at 434
Lake Cooroibah Rd, Cooroibah. The development is a code assessable development within the
Rural Residential Zone. The assessment finds the subdivision meets the relevant Acceptable and
Performance Outcomes.
The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only—
          (a) against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development (The Noosa Plan
              2020); and
          (b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.
Council, after carrying out the assessment—

      (a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of the assessment
          benchmarks for the development; and
      (b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with some of the assessment
        benchmarks; and
Examples—
                   1        An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply
                            with some of the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.
                   2        An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply
                            with some of the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and
                            a referral agency’s response.
      (c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and
      (d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment benchmarks, decide to
          refuse the application only if compliance cannot be achieved by imposing development conditions.
Example of a development condition—
a development condition that affects the way the development is carried out, or the management of uses or works that
are the natural and ordinary consequence of the development, but does not have the effect of changing the type of
development applied for



The assessment finds the development generally complies with all Outcomes of the applicable
codes. The subdivision design includes appropriate lot sizes and shapes which consider the bushfire
and flood hazards, as well as enhancing the existing vegetation and linkages on the site. The
Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended.
