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
