6.0 Planning Report

The following Codes and Overlays have been identified as needed assessment against the
proposed development.
    Noosaville Locality Code; (refer section 8.2.1 – 8.2.3)
    Business Uses Code;
    Landscaping Code;
    Ancillary Dwelling Unit – (Caretakers Unit)
    Biodiversity Overlay Code;
    Natural Hazards Overlay Code;
    Engineering Works Codes;
        o Driveways and Carparking Code;
        o Earthworks Code;
        o Erosion and Sediment Control Code;
        o Existing Services Code;
        o Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
        o Waste Management Code;
        o Water Sensitive Design Code;


Comment: An assessment of the Business Use Code, Landscaping Code and Driveways and
Carparking Code has been done and included in this report from page 11.

This code assessment has determined that the proposal generally complies with all probable
solutions and specific outcomes. Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution
demonstrating compliance with the specific outcome is provided, this includes sufficient planning
grounds to justify the conflicts with the probable solutions.

The remainder of the Codes above in Italics have been addressed below fittingly.


Caretaker’s Unit – (Ancillary Dwelling Unit)

The proposed development includes an ancillary dwelling unit. This is a consistent use within
the Industrial Business Area of which this development is proposed. In consideration of the
definition of the Ancillary Dwelling Unity (Caretaker’s Unit) it was found that the proposal was
compliant with the parameters of the definition. Please see attached Building Design
Concept Drawings reflecting this statement

Biodiversity Overlay Code

The proposed development is identified as being in the Environmental Protection Area. The
subject site is located within the industrial zone on land that has been cleared and prepared
for future development purposes. Currently the site does not contain any natural and
regulated vegetation or regional ecosystems. At most, vegetation on the site is sections of
re-growth and small to medium sized groupings of grass species. The proposed
development will include landscaped sections facing the street totalling 324.6sqm which will
include preferred endemic species suited to the area, (refer to attached landscape plans for
details). This is above the required landscape requirements as specified in the relevant
sections of the Planning Scheme. It was the clients intention to provide a landscape
environment that would soften the built structure and to accentuate their business premises
as a statement of the industrial area.

As a result vegetation and biodiversity of the site will be improved, as will surrounding sites
with future development anticipated. Erosion and sediment control measures will be
implemented during construction and appropriate drainage networks will be put in place to
ensure minimal impact on the surrounding waterways from runoff from the site.
