This report is based on the QLD Government’s planning report template (Department of
Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning), which adopts a ‘report-by-exception’ approach. The
planning report only discusses the key issues and matters where a proposed development does not
exactly meet the requirements of, or conflicts with, a planning scheme or other planning instrument.

2.1 Site description
Table 1: Site description
Site characteristic Description
An existing boat manufacturing business is located to the western portion
Existing land use
of the lot with a retaining wall located generally where the new boundary
is proposed. Two separate buildings exist with an approximate total
footprint of 850m².
Dense landscaping is proved along the frontage of proposed Lot 1.
Frontage and access 75.9m frontage to Rene Street.
Proposed lot 1 frontage = 4,138m²
Proposed lot 2 frontage = 2,010m²
Topography and views Slight fall from the rear of the site to the street and across the site from
west to east.
Existing vegetation 2 mature trees centrally located on proposed lot 1 and a densely
vegetated garden for the full length of proposed lot 1.

4.0 Planning assessment
4.1 Lot size
The proposed 4,138m² and 2010m² lots both meet the minimum lot size of 1000m², are rectangular
in shape with exceed the minimum width per lot the Planning Scheme seeks for the Industry zone.
The new boundary is generally on the low side of the existing retaining wall. Figure 4 below shows
the retaining wall where the new boundary is proposed.

4.1.2 Servicing
No earthworks or changes to landforms are required to accommodate the subdivision, while all
relevant servicing can be provided to the proposed lots, including:
- Electricity from the existing underground reticulation within Rene Street.
- Sewerage connection from the existing Unitywater infrastructure.
- Water is provided from Rene Street and connection subject to Unitywater connection
approvals.
- NBN connection can be made from Rene Street.
- The lots slope towards Rene Street, a legal point of discharge and stormwater (including
overland flow) can be provided without impacting neighbouring properties.
4.1.3 Footpath
There is no footpath along the northern side of Rene Street in this location and LGIP does not identify
this side of the street as part of the pathway trunk network. There is no footpath between Production
Street and 41 Rene Street, some 95m away, with all this side of the street being fully developed
except for 45 Rene Street. Given footpath infrastructure is located on the opposite side of the road
and this side of Rene Street is fully developed with no footpaths, the applicant does not propose to
construct a footpath along the frontage.
4.1.4 Driveway
A standard driveway can be conditioned as part of a downstream code assessment industrial
material change of use (MCU) on the proposed new lot 2, as a driveway exists for the existing boat
manufacturing use on proposed lot 1. This way, the driveway can be located complementary to an
overall building design as part of the MCU approval.

4.1.5 Stormwater
A lawful point of discharge is located to the southeast corner of proposed Lot 2. A connection will be
provided to proposed Lot 1. Further stormwater management plans can be provided as part of the
stormwater management plan.
5.0 State assessment and other matters
5.1 State interests
5.1.1 Matters established in the Planning Regulation
There are no relevant matters applicable to the application.
5.1.2 State Planning Policy
The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part. The site is not located in the erosion prone area.
6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 lot into 2 lots) situated at 53
– 57 Rene Street, Noosaville. The proposal is subject to code assessment within the Medium Impact
Industry Zone. The assessment finds the proposal meets the relevant Acceptable and Performance
Outcomes.
The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only—
(a) against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development
(The Noosa Plan 2020); and
(b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.
Council, after carrying out the assessment—
(a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of
the assessment benchmarks for the development; and
(b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with
some of the assessment benchmarks; and
Examples—
1 An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.
2 An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and a referral agency’s
response.
(c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and

Page 9
(d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment
benchmarks, decide to refuse the application only if compliance cannot be achieved by
imposing development conditions.
Example of a development condition—
a development condition that affects the way the development is carried out, or the management of uses
or works that are the natural and ordinary consequence of the development, but does not have the effect
of changing the type of development applied for
The assessment finds the development generally complies with all Acceptable Outcomes of the
applicable codes. The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development
application is therefore recommended.
