                  Division 9— Natural Hazards Overlays Code




                                                                                                                   Including amendments to 3 July 2017
                                                                                                       The Noosa Plan
13.28    Natural Hazards Overlays Code

13.28.1 The provisions in this division comprise the Natural Hazards Overlays Code. They are—

                 compliance with the Natural Hazards Overlays Code (section 13.29);

                 overall outcomes for the Natural Hazards Overlays Code (section 13.30);

                 specific outcomes for the Natural Hazards Overlay Code (sections 13.31—13.39)

13.29    Compliance with the Natural Hazards Overlays Code
         Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in sections 13.31 to 13.39
         complies with the Natural Hazards Overlays Code.

13.30    Overall outcomes for the Natural Hazards Overlays Code

13.30.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Natural Hazards Overlays Code.

13.30.2 The overall outcomes sought from the Natural Hazards Overlays Code are—

         a)       development in areas at risk from natural hazards is compatible with the nature of
                  the natural hazard so as not to place people, property, economic activity, social
                  wellbeing and the natural environment at risk;
         b)       development is resilient to natural hazard events by ensuring siting and design
                  accounts for and minimises potential risks of natural hazards to people and
                  property;
         c)       development supports, and does not unduly burden disaster management response
                  or recovery capacity and capabilities;
         d)       development directly, indirectly and cumulatively avoids a material increase in
                  extent and severity of natural hazards and does not significantly increase the
                  potential damage on the site or to other properties;
         e)       development avoids the release of hazardous materials as a result of a natural
                  hazard event;
         f)       natural processes and the protective function of landforms and vegetation are
                  maintained in natural hazard areas;
         g)       for acid sulfate areas—the generation or release of acid and associated metal
                  contaminants into the environment is avoided;
         h)       for bushfire hazard areas—bushfire risk mitigation treatments are accommodated in
                  a manner that avoids or minimises impacts on the natural environment and
                  ecological processes.
13.31    Specific outcomes for the Natural Hazards Overlay Code
         The specific outcomes sought for the Natural Hazards Overlay Code are included in
         column 1 of Tables 13.8—13.12. Acceptable solutions for accepted development subject
         to requirements and probable solutions for code assessment development are included in
         column 2 of Table 13.8—13.12.
