PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                          9 MARCH 2021


how dwellings are designed or constructed. Retirement facilities can operate through either the
Retirement Villages Act 1999 or the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003. These are
distinguished by their different ownership and tenancy arrangements.
Both uses are consistent in the Medium Density Residential Zone, subject to impact assessment,
with the exception that where an existing relocatable home park exists it has been protected for
that purpose.
Retirement Facilities are listed as a consistent use in the Community Facilities Zone (subject to
code assessment if specifically annotated, otherwise subject to impact assessment). It is
considered appropriate to extend the same provision to Relocatable Home Parks, as there is no
planning reason to facilitate one but not the other.
11.1 Proposed amendment:
Amend the Table of Assessment for Material Change of Use in the Community Facilities Zone
(Table 5.5.11) by listing Relocatable Home Park as a consistent use subject to assessment as
follows:

                  Categories of development and                  Assessment benchmarks for
                  assessment                                     assessable development

12      Dwelling house on existing rural and rural residential blocks
The State Interest Policy on Agriculture requires that growth in agricultural production and a strong
agriculture industry is facilitated by locating new development (such as sensitive land uses) in
areas that avoid or minimise potential for conflict with existing agricultural uses through the
provision of adequate separation areas or other measures. The guidance material suggests a land
use strategy that dwelling houses in rural areas are located so that adjacent existing and potential
agricultural enterprises are not constrained.
Consequentially Noosa Plan 2020 contains acceptable outcomes in both the Rural and the Rural
Residential Zone codes that specify sensitive land uses are separated from adjoining land mapped
as Agricultural Land Conservation Area. The relevant specific acceptable outcomes called up as
requirements for a dwelling house are as follows:
Rural Zone Code:
AO2.4
No sensitive land use is established closer than 200 metres from land on an adjacent property
included in the Rural zone and mapped as Agricultural Land Conservation Area as shown in
Agricultural Land Overlap Maps in schedule 2.
AND
AO8.5
On properties over 2 hectares in area, a distance of not less than 200 metres is provided between
a sensitive land use and land on an adjacent rural zone property over 4 hectares in mapped
Agricultural Land Conservation Area.
