Attachment 2 - Noosa Plan Code Assessment

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING DEISGN CODE
The Purpose of The Sustainable Building Design code is to ensure:
•   Development is sustainable with minimal environmental impact and maximum human comfort;
•   Development conserves resources and materials and designs buildings that work with their natural
    environment and not against them;
•   Buildings are resilient and resource efficient and incorporate sustainable building design that responds to
    Noosa Shire’s sub-tropical climate;
•   Building design minimises energy and water use and reuses stormwater for non-potable purposes and
    provides comfortable, healthy work and living environments; and
•   Buildings are cost effective to operate.

The development has maximised the landscaping on site to reduce impervious areas and has retained existing
vegetation. The development has aimed to respond to the topography of the site and has sleeved parking
underneath and minimised any earthworks required. The proposal is seen to comply with the Sustainable Building
Design code.

WATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE CODE
In summary the purpose of the Code is to ensure the stormwater associated with new development is appropriately
managed. To address the requirements of this Code the engineering drawings include a plan to show how
stormwater from the new dwelling will be collected and discharged from the site.

WASTE MANAGEMENT CODE
As discussed in the Development Assessment Report, waste bins for each dwelling are provided and stored
behind landscaped screening. Each unit will wheel their bins to the curb for collection.
