                  Integrated Planning Act 1997.   This development application seeks a Development Permit for a

                  Any words or terms are shown in italic font in this proposal report, refer to either relevant state
                  legislation direct quotes from this planning scheme as indicated.     Words in bold font refer to
                  definitions as detailed by the Noosa Plan.
                  The report notes that under the Superseded Planning Scheme, the site was included in the
                  Residential Medium Density zone which permitted 3 storey and 12 metre high unit developments with
                  a yield of 6.6 persons.
@                 The Noosa Plan includes the site in the Attached-Housing zone which details a duplex as a
                  consistent code assessable use, however prescribes a lesser height and population density for the
                  subject site and adjoining site. Advice from Councils Strategic Planning Section indicated that this
                  was an error and that the sites should have the same development potential as the surrounding area
                  and as detailed by the Superseded Scheme.
                  The report concludes that there are sufficient planning grounds to support the proposal as it is
                  consistent with the intent and provisions of both the Superseded Plan and the Noosa Plan and
                  proposes a building that it consistent with the surrounding urban fabric.
