4. LOCAL PLANNING MATTERS

4.1 LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT & STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
The proposed development includes a material change of use requiring code assessment
against the Noosa Plan 2020.

The following codes are applicable:
   -   Rural Residential Zone Code
   -   Low Density Housing Code
   -   Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code

4.2 OVERLAYS
The subject site is burdened by the following overlays, as identified by the overlay maps of the
Noosa Plan:

   -   Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay

       The Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code is an assessment benchmark. The level
       of assessment is Code Assessable.

   -   Bushfire Hazard Overlay

       The Bushfire overlay code is not an assessment benchmark for a Dwelling House Use. Bushfire
       provisions are contained within the Low Density Housing Code. The Dwelling will be subject to a
       site specific bushfire report and will be protected in accordance with AS3959.
