Planning Scheme Overlays

72. The subject site is mapped as being constrained by a number of planning scheme overlays as shown
    within the Overlay Map Extracts included with the Statutory Planning Map Extract at Attachment 2
    to this report. A general summation of how the proposal addresses the relevant overlays codes is
    provided below:

    a) Biodiversity Overlay – The subject site is identified as containing areas mapped as environmental
       protection and riparian buffer containing an identified stream under the biodiversity overlay. The
       proposed development has been configured to ensure the construction of future development
       is located outside of any environmentally significant areas within the site. Refer to the Ecological
       Assessment Report prepared by Saunders Havill Group, included at Attachment 10 which
       provides the necessary assessment of the proposal against the Biodiversity Overlay Code of the
       Noosa Plan.

    b) Natural Hazards Overlay – The site is mapped within a designated water supply catchment, being
       associated with Lake Macdonald. The subject site is located at the fringe of the mapped
       catchment area and is afforded a significant separation distance from the water body.
       Nonetheless, the proposed development has been designed to ensure the construction and
       operation of the development will not cause adverse impacts to the quality or quantity of water
       entering the tributaries of Lake Macdonald.
