               accommodate their anticipated residential use, including dwelling siting, on-site wastewater, car
               parking and vehicle manoeuvring. The access arrangement will not adversely affect adjoining
               properties through excessive noise, light, dust, stormwater runoff or loss of amenity, given the low
               traffic generation associated with one additional rural residential lot.
               Access will continue to utilise the existing access point to McKinnon Drive and is not expected to
               adversely affect the safety or efficiency of the road network. The proposed rear lot arrangement
               will not prejudice the anticipated development of adjoining land and is considered to achieve the
               outcomes sought by PO21.
               The proposed subdivision is for one additional rear lot and in comparison to surrounding
               development is a minor increase in the density of lots within the surrounding region.
               The newly created lot will not adjoin more than four other lots and is not visible from any publicly
               accessible vantage points. The proposal can comply with PO21.


               Bushfire Hazard
               The proposed new lot falls within the ‘potential impact buffer’ of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay map
               and is therefore subject to assessment against the Bushfire Hazard Overlay code. The applicable
               acceptable outcomes are as follows:
               AO1.1          Development which will materially increase the number of people living or congregating on
                              premises, including reconfiguring a lot, is not located within a medium or high bushfire hazard
                              area.

               AO1.2          Development maximises setbacks from hazardous vegetation to achieve an acceptable risk.


               Assessment
               Council’s Environment Officer have advised no major concerns from a bushfire perspective.
               The internal referral advice confirms that the submitted Bushfire Hazard Assessment demonstrates
               sufficient area within proposed Lot 2 is available to establish a future dwelling in accordance with
               the Noosa Plan Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code and the State Planning Policy bushfire provisions.
               A separate building envelope is not necessary in this instance, provided the recommendations of
               the Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan are implemented through conditions of
               approval.
               Having regard to the submitted bushfire assessment and the Environment Officer’s referral
               comments, the application is considered to comply with the relevant provisions of the Bushfire
               Hazard Overlay Code, subject to conditions requiring implementation of the Bushfire Hazard
               Assessment and Management Plan.


               Biodiversity
               Assessment
               Council’s Environment Officer have advised no major concerns from a Biodiversity perspective.
               The proposed reconfiguration boundary generally follows existing access tracks and fence lines,
               and only intersects a small area mapped under the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay.
               The vegetation in this area is mapped as Category X under the State Vegetation Management
               Framework and is therefore not subject to State clearing controls.
               It is noted that native vegetation clearing may occur for fence installation and maintenance,
               however this would be limited in extent and is not expected to result in a significant biodiversity
               impact.
