3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
• State Planning Policy;
• South East Queensland Regional Plan;
• Planning Regulation 2017; and
• Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
3.2. Noosa Plan 2020
The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
• Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
• Low Density Housing Code;
• Works Codes;
• Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code
• Flood Hazard Overlay Code
The subject site is in Noosa Heads and is zoned Medium Density Residential. The proposed use
is identified as a consistent use within the zone and is required to follow a code assessable
application process.
The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:

Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states:
Page 7 of 19
Document Set ID: 24261132
Version: 12, Version Date: 26/11/2025
Page 8
The applicant is proposing the reduced setbacks for the front fence and wall and shown in the table
above and as such the development does not comply with AO12.1 and AO12.2 of the Medium
Density Residential Zone Code. The proposal is therefore required to comply with the
corresponding Performance Outcome PO12 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code,
which states:
Assessment
The outermost projection of the proposed dwelling, being the front balcony, achieves a minimum
setback of 7.2 metres from the front boundary. This setback exceeds the minimum requirements
and contributes positively to the amenity of both the subject site and adjoining properties by
enhancing visual and acoustic privacy. Given that Noosa Parade functions as a distributor road,
the increased setback provides an appropriate buffer that mitigates traffic-related noise impacts,
thereby improving acoustic amenity for occupants. Additionally, the proposed setback supports
visual separation and maintains sightlines to the adjoining property at 9 Noosa Parade, contributing
to a respectful interface between dwellings.
Page 8 of 19
Document Set ID: 24261132
Version: 12, Version Date: 26/11/2025
Page 9
Within the front setback area, the development incorporates a curved block front fence, within a
landscaped area, recessed 0.75 metres from the front boundary. The associated driveway and
pedestrian access gates are further recessed, achieving a setback of approximately 1.75 metres.
The proposed fencing arrangement, located adjacent to a distributor road, complies with the
Acceptable Outcomes AO17.1 to AO17.4 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
Specifically, the front fence height does not exceed 1.8 metres, consistent with AO17.4, and the
design ensures visual interest and articulation in accordance with the zone code’s intent to maintain
streetscape character, amenity and pedestrian safety.
Streetscape
Acceptable Outcome AO14.5 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states:
The development proposes a vertical distance of 3.7m between the ground and the lowest
suspended floor and as such the development does not comply with AO14.5 of the Medium Density
Residential Zone Code. The proposal is therefore required to comply with the corresponding
Performance Outcome PO14 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code, which states:
Assessment
The proposed vertical separation of 3.7 metres between natural ground level and the suspended
floor fronting Noosa Parade is appropriately moderated by a front setback of 7.2 metres. This
setback ensures the built form does not visually dominate the streetscape and maintains a human
Page 9 of 19
Document Set ID: 24261132
Version: 12, Version Date: 26/11/2025
Page 10
scale consistent with the intended character of the Medium Density Residential Zone. The front
façade, boundary fence, pedestrian entry and driveway are integrated within a landscaped
forecourt and additional planting forward of the fence line, contributing to a softened interface with
the public realm.
The architectural treatment of the façade, combined with the landscaped setback, introduces
individualised design elements that enhance visual interest and positively contribute to the
streetscape character. The proposal satisfies Performance Outcome PO14 of the Medium Density
Residential Zone Code by ensuring that building bulk and scale are appropriately managed, and
that the development integrates well with its surrounding context.
Acceptable Outcome AO22.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states:
The proposal involves excavation to a depth of approximately 3.8m to facilitate the basement level
of the dwelling house and as such the development does not comply with AO14.5 of the Medium
Density Residential Zone Code. The proposal is therefore required to comply with the
corresponding Performance Outcome PO14 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code,
which states:
Assessment
The basement is proposed to be excavated without the need for retaining walls at the side
boundaries. The basement is located immediately under the proposed dwelling house and the
ground level around the perimeter of the site beyond the footprint of the dwelling house will remain
relatively undisturbed and will be suitably landscaped. Where existing landscaping is removed as
a part of construction, replanting will be facilitated to the boundaries of the site to maintain a high-
level of landscape amenity to adjoining residents and street frontages.
To ensure the proposed amount of cut does not lead to erosion, SCG have prepared civil drawings
including bulk earthworks and have submitted a Dewatering Management Plan and Geotechnical
Report.

Erosion and Sediment Control
20. Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
21. Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such
fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
system or adversely impacting on other properties. The sediment and erosion control design
and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is
responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
a. Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
practise" methods,
b. Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
projected construction schedule and/or methods,
c. Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
d. Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
found inefficient.
22. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
standards.
(*) Refer to Advisory Note.
23. The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
to rainfall occurring.
24. The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
drainage system or waterways.
25. Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, all site surfaces must
be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term.
For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does
not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion
or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
