 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




     b) allow only for minor, short term and infrequent flooding of non-habitable areas noting that
        all non-habitable areas are located above the minimum flood level requirement in any event;
     c) provide carparking areas are adequately drained;
     d) ensure the proposed drainage has been specifically designed to not impact upon other
        premises; and
     e) ensure to ensure the filling and excavation will not cause ponding, will not increase flooding
        and will not adversely affect the flow of water in the overland flow path.

Sloping sites and ridgelines O17:
The proposed development:
   a) is responsive to the natural topography of the site and has minimised cut and fill;
   b) will not visually dominate the hill slope or interrupt views; and
   c) is integrated with the natural site characteristics including vegetation.

Environmental and cultural heritage values O20:
The proposed development will not cause significant adverse effects on biodiversity, native
vegetation, habitats, landscape quality, water quality or cultural heritage values, but will result in some
changes to natural drainage and potentially erosion and the transportation of sediments off site. These
works are proposed to address onsite flooding issues and the works will not adversely impact upon
environmental values, with erosion and sedimentation controls able to be conditioned.

Given the assessment above, the proposed reconfiguring a lot complies with the Noosa Heads Locality
Code and or can be conditioned to comply.

Reconfiguring a Lot Code

Under part 14.181.1, the overall outcomes are the purpose of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code. Having
regard to part 14.181.2, the most relevant overall outcomes are discussed below:
   a) the lot sizes and dimensions are appropriate for their intended use this being for detached
       housing consistent with the nature, type and character of development in the locality and
       maintaining a high level of residential amenity;
   b) the development maintains the same residential land uses in the locality (discussed above);
   c) the proposed lots have suitable, safe and appropriate access;
   d) the proposed development, including the existing buildings and works will not have any
       adverse impact upon the existing drainage line or an environmentally sensitive area;
   e) the proposed development does not impact upon the road network;
   f) …;
   g) the proposed lots will not have any impact on the natural environment and landscape. Further,
       the proposed development and works will not worsen, but in fact will minimise and improve
       the level of risk to people and property having regard to localised flooding during a 1% AEP
       event (refer comments above and below);
   h) the proposed allotments can be readily serviced in an effective and efficient manner with
       reticulated services being available to the subject land;
   i) …
