no requirement under the planning scheme to lodge a combined application for reconfiguring a lot
and material change of use.

Noosa Heads Locality Code

While the application is a combined application, according to the assessment tables referred to above,
the Noosa Heads Locality Code only applies to the reconfiguring a lot component, being code
assessable.

Under Part 9.7.1 of the Noosa Heads Locality Code, the overall outcomes are the purpose of the Code.
Under part 9.7.2 the most relevant overall outcomes include (a) and (nn).

Having regard to overall outcome (a), the proposed development:
   i.  is compatible with other uses and works in the locality;
  ii.  will maintain the safety of people and works;
 iii.  will not have a significant impact upon the amenity enjoyed by users or other premises,
       including acoustic and visual qualities; and
 iv.   avoids any significant adverse effect on the natural environment.

Having regard to overall outcome (nn), specially for the Detached Housing Zone:
   i.  the development has a low site impact and is a low-density development form having a
       domestic scale;
  ii.  maintains a high level of residential amenity;
 iii.  the allotment sizes and density are consistent with the character of the neighbourhood;
 iv.   the existing building style will remain unchanged and is befitting of the character of the
       locality, and is integrated with the site characteristics including slope and vegetation; and
  v.   landscaping can be provided amongst the existing buildings with trees and vegetation to be
       retained where practicable, save the operational and building works required to address the
       localised flooding issue.

Under Table 9.11, the most relevant specific outcomes include O1 – Amenity, O6 – Density, O8 –
Setbacks (existing structures), O16 – Flooding and drainage, O17 – Sloping Sites and ridgelines and
O20 – Environmental. The specific outcomes relevant to building form including O7 – Height, O9 –
Site cover, gross floor area and plot ratio, and O15 – Roof form are matters to be considered under
the Detached House Code, which is addressed below.

Amenity 01:
The proposed reconfiguring a lot providing for allotment sizes of 711m² for Lot 1 and 662m² for Lot
2, are of sufficient size to provide for a Detached House. The uses have been located and designed to
avoid significant adverse impacts for users of associated, adjoining or nearby uses.
