2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

8.2.4.2           Purpose and overall outcomes
(1)   The purpose of the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity overlay code is to:
      (a)   maintain coastal processes including erosion and accretion processes to enable these natural functions to continue;
      (b)   maintain the protective function of coastal resources including vegetation and dunes to mitigate risks associated with
            coastal erosion; and
      (c)   ensure development is designed and sited to protect the natural beach experience and scenic amenity of the coastal area
            enjoyed by Noosa Shire residents and visitors.


Editor's Note—Coastal hazards including coastal erosion, storm tide inundation, or permanent inundation from sea level rise. The term
includes the impacts from climate change. Storm tide inundation is specifically addressed in the Flood Hazard overlay code.

Editor's Note—Coastal Erosion Areas are identified on Council's online mapping for the years 2040, 2070 and 2100.


(2)   The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:
      (a)   Development allows for natural processes of erosion and accretion to occur naturally, including as a result of sea level rise.
      (b)   Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal areas are not impacted by
            development to mitigate coastal hazard risks and to protect environmental values; and
      (c)   Development is designed and sited to protect the visual character and scenic amenity of the Coastal Protection and Scenic
            Amenity Area and to integrate with the surrounding natural landscape and skyline vegetation.

Performance outcomes                                                Acceptable outcomes
Development in Coastal Erosion Areas
PO1                                                                 No acceptable outcome provided.
Development allows for natural fluctuations of the coast and
foreshores to occur, including allowance of climate change.         Editor's note—Coastal erosion areas are identified on Council's
                                                                    online mapping for the years 2040, 2070 and 2100.
Protection of dunes and coastal creeks

PO2
Development is located, designed and constructed to:                No acceptable outcome provided

(a)    maintain dune crest heights and minimise and mitigate the
       risk to development from wave overtopping and storm tide
       inundation;
(b)    maintain or enhance coastal ecosystems and natural
       features such as coastal creeks and marine plants
       including mangroves, salt marshes and coastal wetlands,
       to assist in protecting and buffering communities and
       infrastructure from sea­level rise and coastal inundation
       impacts.

Coastal building Lines
PO3
Where a coastal building line exists on a lot, all buildings,       No acceptable outcome provided
structures and retaining walls do not extend seaward of the
coastal building line for the site, other than—                     Editor's Note—State coastal building lines are identified on the
(a)    uncovered and unenclosed cantilevered balconies that do      Coastal Protection Overlay Maps. State coastal building lines are
       not extend greater than 3 metres seaward of the coastal      declared under the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995.
       building line; and
(b)    are setback a minimum of 6 metres from the seaward
       boundary (see Figure 8.2.4.4).
