PROJECT URBAN – 17365                                                                               January 2018



7.8 PLANNING SCHEME CONFLICTS


The assessment of the proposed development against the Noosa Plan 2006 has determined that
the only potential conflict with the Noosa Plan 2006 is with specific outcomes O30, O31 and O35
of the Noosaville Locality Code. These specific outcomes relate to consistent and inconsistent
uses and appearance as one detached house.

It is considered that there are sufficient planning grounds to justify the proposal despite this
conflict based on planning need and economic benefit.


7.8.1      NEED ASSESSMENT


Establishing need requires an analysis of existing and projected demand, against existing and
projected facilities. The following outlines each of these aspects separately and provides a
summary of expected shortfall. Discussion is also provided about need as it relates to the specific
location of the proposed facility.
