Minor Change
Background Information
On the 16th of April 2021 Noosa Shire Council issued a Development Approval for a Material Change of Use for Low Impact
Industry and associated Operational Work.

The respective development works are complete.

The completed works comprise a black powder coated fence and electric gate across the driveway which are located on the
property boundary as per Figure 1 below.

The erected fencing does not comply with Condition 15 of the Decision Notice which states:

15. Any fencing to the road frontage must be set back at least 1 meter from the street boundary and must have a minimum
average setback of 2 metres to the street boundary. All land between the fence and the front property boundary must be
densely landscaped.

Proposed Minor Change


The applicant requests a change to the Decision Notice to amend Condition 15 of the Decision Notice to permit the current
fencing on the road frontage boundary.

In considering the request attention is drawn to AO36 of Table 6.5.1.3 within the Low Impact Industry Zone Code, which states,

AO36 Fencing on any frontage is set back an average of 2 metres provided that no part of the fencing is within 1 meter of the
property boundary.

Currently the existing fencing is located on the road frontage property boundary contrary to AO36 and condition 15 and thus
relies on compliance with PO36, which states,

PO36 Security fencing is in keeping with the surrounding area and does not have an adverse impact upon the appearance of
the streetscape.

It has been observed that several properties along Vision Court comprise fencing along the road frontage property boundary.
Notably, 8 Vision Court (Directly over road), 3 Vision Court and 19 Venture Drive. To this end we consider the fencing on the
subject property to be in keeping with the surrounding area. Furthermore, the fencing constructed is well kept, defines the
property boundaries, provides essential security to the site after hours and does not have adverse impact on the appearance of
the streetscape as it is notably transparent.

The attached Site Plan indicates the location of the existing fencing in red.
