Change to Jetty OPW18-0150 - Planning Report

against the assessment benchmarks within the Noosa Heads Locality Code and Table 14.64 of the
Watercourses Works Code.

The Noosa Plan 2006 is a performance-based planning scheme. Development Use and Overlay Codes
contain both Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions. Specific Outcomes are considered to be
overarching guidelines for development.

A Probable Solution for a Specific Outcome provides a guide for achieving that outcome in whole or in
part. They are not exhaustive and alternative solutions that achieve the outcomes and purpose of the
applicable codes may be proposed by applicants.

A development complies with a Specific Outcomes if:

          • the Probable Solution to the Specific Outcome is complied with; or

          • sufficient information is provided to demonstrate the criterion has been met in another way.

The following assessment addresses the requirements of the application codes against the proposed jetty
redesign. Where an alternative outcome has been proposed by the Applicant, sufficient information will
be provided.




Noosa Heads Locality Code
A review of the Noosa Heads Locality Code has identified no Specific Outcomes relevant to the proposed
jetty redesign. Therefore, assessment against the Code’s benchmarks is not warranted.




Watercourses Works Code
An assessment of the proposed jetty against the assessment benchmarks contained within the
Watercourses Work Code has been undertaken. The development is relevant only to the Specific
Outcomes and Probable Solutions contained within Table 14-64 Prescribed Tidal Works (waters outside
Noosa Waters canal).
