EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a brief update on the current review of Shaping SEQ Regional Plan and
brings forward a recommendation that five further places within Noosa Shire be nominated as
“Great Places” to be included within ShapingSEQ, the SEQ Regional Plan in response to a
specific request by the ShapingSEQ Review team.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Principal Strategic Planner to the Planning and Environment
Committee dated 9 May 2023 and authorise the Chief Executive Officer to submit to
the ShapingSEQ Review Project Team additional Great Places as detailed within the report.
REPORT
Introduction
ShapingSEQ is the South East Queensland Regional Plan of 2017. The plan was prepared with
a 25 year focus to 2041 (census year).
At the Queensland Housing Summit in October 2022, a commitment was made to
review ShapingSEQ to directly respond to the immediate housing and growth management needs
of the region. The review will be a tight, targeted amendment of the existing ShapingSEQ. The
fundamentals of the plan will remain unchanged, and there is anticipated to be relatively minor
change to the urban footprint, although the emphasis on housing choice and diversity are expected
to be strengthened.
It is anticipated it will be informed by an updated demographic profile and will identify regionally
significant infrastructure projects.
There is little change anticipated for Noosa LGA (Local Government Area). Of interest to the
northern subregion is the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade Project and the proposed high
frequency public transport service from Maroochydore to Caloundra and Beerwah. There are also
proposed Olympic venues nominated within the SCRC area.
At this stage a draft of the amended plan and infrastructure supplement are expected to be released
for a 30-business day public notification period in the middle of the year, with a final plan expected
by the end of 2023.
Council could anticipate various submissions might be made by or on behalf of land owners this year
with requests for Council support.
Great Places
ShapingSEQ consists of several themes and Theme 5 – Live addresses Living in better designed
communities: a region of great places. This theme is about achieving better design and place-making
outcomes in the SEQ region.
Page 3 of 41
Page 4
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
According to ShapingSEQ, Great places are built environments that provide focal points which
foster a range of activities – including shopping, socializing, dining and recreation – and contribute
to local identity and economies. It states that Great places respond to our outstanding climate based
on good design that creates an urban form delivering year-round outdoor and energy-efficient living
in a leafy, subtropical landscape.
Within Chapter 3 of ShapingSEQ, Table 12 and corresponding Map 6 identify 63 “Great
Places” nominated by the region’s local governments based on their place-making programs and
aspirations for future great places. These are reproduced on the following pages.

It was intended to be an indicative and not exhaustive list, however as local governments at the time
of its development potentially took a different view in nominating places, it may not have guaranteed
consistency. An opportunity has now been made available to add/adjust this list. Within Noosa Shire,
the list is currently limited to Hastings Street, Noosa Heads and Maple Street, Cooroy. The Sunshine
Coast Regional Council by comparison has some 17 places listed as great places.
Page 5 of 41

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
Chapter 3 Part C expands on the Norther Sub-region, which is made up of the Sunshine Coast and
Noosa LGAs. Perhaps understandably it is heavily weighted on the Sunshine Coast given it has the
larger area and population and expects the greatest change over the life of the Plan.
The following are extracts from the Outcomes for Live : Our great places:
Developing and promoting great places will support the sub-region’s liveability, prosperity, and
sense of identity and community. Current and evolving great places identified by local
governments in the Northern sub-region include:
a. Hastings Street Noosa Heads, an iconic destination, is a small-scale main street set among
the green backdrop of Noosa Hill that provides a major drawcard for locals and international
visitors. These qualities – a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly streetscape and diverse dining and
retailing opportunities – all make Hastings Street an outstanding place.
…
h. Cooroy and its surrounding area services much of the Noosa hinterland. Residents enjoy
modern lifestyle conveniences in a country town atmosphere. The streetscape is enhanced by
heritage buildings, mature landscaping, shaded footpaths, small/intimate business premises,
and visual connections with the sub-region’s agricultural and forestry heritage.
The State’s SEQRP review team has specifically asked Local Governments to review the list of great
places and to consider what implementation action and measures could better support the Live
policy. The State has advised that any additional places should meet the criteria described in this
report.
While so many places within Noosa Shire are really special and worthy of recognition, officers have
proposed the following list of additional nominations having consideration to elements such as :
• Attractive built form and amenity
• Connection between built and natural setting
• Vibrancy and popularity
• 2021 liveability index scores
• Potential growth and redevelopment opportunities
• Pressure points and transitions
The following places are proposed for inclusion:
Gympie Terrace, Noosaville— Adjoining over 1700m of public parkland along the Noosa River,
Gympie Terrace is a favourite place for locals and holiday makers for many different reasons.
Immediate proximity to the river and its ample opportunities for active and passive outdoor recreation
is the principal drawcard, particularly for families and busy pathways afford great views. A wide
choice of restaurants and cafes attract patrons from early morning to evening with outdoor dining
and opportunities to picnic in the park. Retail offerings are of niche, boutique scale with residents
and visitors exploring by foot.
Noosa Junction— The traditional business centre of the Shire has emerged into a vibrant centre for
retail, dining and entertainment. With ongoing investment in commercial offices it also
accommodates many creative and health and wellbeing businesses, and destination shops and
galleries. Day time cafes and night time restaurants are complemented by cinemas and live
entertainment including touring artists at The J Entertainment venue. Night markets and street art
add to the appeal of the contemporary coastal village atmosphere.
Peregian Beach Village— Once an unimposing quiet, laid back beachside community, Peregian
Beach village now supports a rapidly growing catchment, including more than 11,000 people living
in nearby modern communities of Peregian Springs and Peregian Breeze, just outside Noosa Shire.
The beach as well as entertainment and recreation opportunities in the parkland are part of the
Page 6 of 41
Page 7
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
attraction, as are the many cafes and restaurants and unique destination retail offerings and creative
businesses. Low-set buildings and smaller tenancies surrounding a village square ensure an intimate
setting with mature trees. The presence of the Peregian Digital Hub provides a key attractor for a
growing digital and innovation business and employment sector.
Pomona Village— The rich heritage values of Pomona set it apart as a particularly special country
town at the base of the impressive Mt. Cooroora. There are many architectural reminders of its past,
including unique heritage attractions like the silent movie theatre, railway gallery and museum,
complemented by cafes, boutique retail and antique and old-ware dealers. Through the week it’s a
busy service centre catering for the needs of locals, however its proximity to the Bruce Highway and
to the Noosa Biosphere Trail Network ensure it’s a popular hinterland destination for visitors, with
weekend markets particularly drawing crowds.
Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin— Tewantin has the highest residential population of any single town
in Noosa Shire and as such its traditional main street is busy most days of the week, with a wide
range of retail, commercial and health services, as well as cafes and galleries. Less affected
by tourists than other coastal centres, it still services the needs of visitors heading to Noosa North
Shore or passing through to explore the hinterland. Traditional buildings are being enhanced with
street art and newer premises are more responsive to the views and subtropical climate. The main
street benefits from proximity to Noosa River and attractive public open space, through which the
Noosa Regional Gallery and Noosa Marina are just a short walk away. Increased opportunity for
living within the town centre will increase activity.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A regional Climate Alliance is being established in South East Queensland (SEQ) to formalise a
partnership between local governments on climate change. The purpose of establishing an SEQ
Climate Resilient Alliance is to enhance the capacity of Councils to accelerate emissions reduction
and respond to climate risks through collaborative projects at a regional scale. A working group
have developed an appropriate model for a regional partnership between SEQ councils. The
proposed model is based on successful and established climate alliances in other parts of Australia.
The proposed structure will be an un-incorporated, membership-based partnership formalised by an
memorandum of understanding agreement. It will have tiered membership fees banded according
to population, a simple governance structure, and a regional Alliance Co-ordinator funded through
membership fees. This report outlines the scope of the proposed alliance including membership
costs, project work, governance, risks and opportunities for Noosa Council.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Climate Change Project Officer to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 9 May 2023 regarding the SEQ Climate Resilience Alliance (SEQCRA),
and:
A. Endorse Noosa Council becoming a Member of the SEQ Climate Resilience Alliance for a period
of 3 years commencing 1 July 2023;
B. Note the Director of Environment and Strategy will sit on SEQCRA’s Executive Steering
Committee, meeting quarterly; and
C. Note Council's Carbon Reduction Project Officer will be the staff representative on SEQCRA’s
Coordination Committee.
REPORT
Background
In April 2021, five SEQ Councils received Queensland Climate Resilient Council (QCRC) funding to
undertake a Climate Resilient Councils Pilot Project. The aim of the Pilot Project was to develop an
appropriate model for a regional partnership between SEQ councils that could accelerate emissions
reduction and climate resilience for councils and their communities across the region.
The Pilot Project analysed a range of alliance models and preferred project outcomes and developed
an action plan. From analysing other climate alliances in Australia it was clear that successful project
outcomes are best achieved through well coordinated, targeted regional collaborations that share
information and resources and tackle climate projects together. There is a pressing need for local
governments to deliver climate change initiatives in a timely and effective manner given the range of
critical climate challenges facing local councils and communities. The alliance model provides a
Page 9 of 41
Page 10
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
platform for regional solutions, knowledge sharing and economies of scale and helps avoid
duplication of effort across different local governments that are facing similar challenges.
There are already various collaborations underway between SEQ council's including the successful
Sunshine Coast and Noosa Regional Climate Action Roadmap project which has attracted $1.6
million in funding to date to advance climate resilience. The SEQCRA will formalise a regional
partnership on climate change for the broader region and provide a framework for applying for large
pools of funding to work collaboratively on priority projects.
Purpose
The purpose of establishing the alliance is to enhance the capacity of local governments to
accelerate emissions reduction and respond to climate risks through collaborative projects,
knowledge sharing and advocacy work at a regional scale. Climate change is already bringing more
frequent and extreme impacts to our region including storms, flooding, sea level rise, storm surge,
coastal erosion, droughts, heatwaves and fires. It is not a problem of the future, the impacts are here
and affect us now. Regional and collaborative solutions to tackle these risks and to address rapid
emissions reduction are vital.
Proposed Partnership Model
The proposed model is based on established climate alliances already operating in Australia. There
are eight climate alliances in Victoria, one in Far North Queensland, two in Western Australia and
one in Tasmania. All these climate alliances represent their regions via a formal agreement to work
collaboratively. They are all membership-based partnerships, coordinated by a shared resource who
is funded by membership fees, with a simple members-based governance structure, supported by
regional networks (ie. CoMSEQ, LGAQ). Members develop strategic plans to deliver collaborative
projects. For more information refer to Attachment 1 - Fact Sheet.
The proposed structure of SEQCRA will be an un-incorporated, membership-based partnership
formalised by an MoU agreement. It will have tiered membership fees, banded according to
population. Alliance governance will have two tiers: an Executive Steering Committee (Directors)
and a Coordination Committee (Sustainability Officers). All works will be supported by an Alliance
Coordinator, a host organisation and auspice – all yet to be determined.
Membership to SEQCRA involves:
• A signed MOU
• A commitment of 3 years membership
• Annual Fees
• Allocating one representative to Executive Steering Committee (meets quarterly)
• Allocating one representative to the Coordination Committee (meets monthly)
Interested SEQ members
SEQCRA relies on members to fund and establish the climate alliance. The following SEQ councils
are interested in becoming members. Their representative officers have been collaboratively
involved in the establishment process to date and are currently seeking approval for membership
from their respective councils.
1. Brisbane City Council
2. Ipswich City Council
3. Lockyer Valley Regional Council
4. Logan City Council
5. Moreton Bay Regional Council

Projects
Once established, SEQCRA will engage in collaborative regional projects to provide value to each
member and the region. Projects will aim for regional solutions to shared climate risks and to build
the capacity of each Council through collaboration. Climate Alliances work in three streams of
collaborative projects: joint regional projects, knowledge sharing projects and advocacy work.
Precedence has been set by other climate alliances in Australia that have delivered large-scale,
high-profile projects that have achieved economies of scale, cost savings, emissions reduction,
adaptation achievements and other region wide outcomes.
Examples of projects SEQCRA could undertake over the next 12-24 months are outlined in
Attachment 2 and include the following:
• Streetlight upgrades
• Network tariff review
• 100% Renewable Power Purchasing Agreement
• Community education campaign
• Bulk buy community batteries
• Community emissions reduction
• Preparing for Environmental Upgrade Agreement’s to support businesses and residential
owners with energy efficiency/sustainability upgrade works.
All members, including Noosa Council, will have the option of not participating in particular projects.
As a member, Noosa Council will also have the opportunity to suggest regional scale adaptation
initiatives and other projects not limited to the above list.
Membership fees
SEQCRA membership pays for the shared resource of an Alliance Coordinator and some project
work. The 2023-2024 annual membership fees structure is tiered according to municipal population
along the following population bands:
less than 50,000 people = $5,000
between 50,001 and 200,000 people = $10,000
between 200,001 and 500,000 people = $20,000
between 500,001 and 1,000,000 people = $30,000
greater than 1,000,000 people = $40,000
Accordingly, for FY 2023-2024 Noosa Council would pay a membership fee of $10,000. This has
been factored into the 2023-24 budget in readiness for this alliance commencing next financial year.
Value and Opportunity for Noosa Council
For the annual membership fee ($10,000) Noosa Council will join SEQCRA. Two Noosa Council
Page 11 of 41
Page 12
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
representatives will sit on SEQCRA’s two governing bodies to steer regional direction, projects, grant
applications and other deliverables. As a collective SEQCRA will undertake collaborative projects
that will deliver outcomes unachievable by any one council working alone.
The benefits of membership for Noosa Council include:
• Access to large pools of funding
• Economies of scale through bulk buys, purchasing agreements and resource sharing
• Cost savings on joint projects
• Additional shared staff member to coordinate projects
• Access to expertise and best practice
• Support from other officers and reduced duplication of effort
• Enhanced adaptation, climate risk and emissions reduction outcomes through projects
• Benefits from increased regional coherence and coordination
• Consistent regional messaging
• Leverage and increased advocacy.
SEQCRA will form a strong platform for leadership discussions and regional advocacy. Leveraging
a regional voice has potential to provide increased value through influencing legislation reform at
State and Federal levels to ensure that policy supports councils’ transition to net zero, adaptation,
resilience and preparedness.
Previous Council Consideration
Nil
Finance
SEQCRA is a membership-based regional partnership. Membership to SEQCRA requires Council
resolution, allocation of funds and the CEO’s signature. The MoU asks for a 3-year commitment from
1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026.
For Financial Year 2023-2024 Noosa Council would pay a membership fee of $10,000. This has
been included in Climate Change budget request for 2023-2024.
Membership fees rise 2.5% annually to account for CPI inflation.
By signing the MoU Noosa Council would commit to the following annual fees:
2024/2025 $10,250
2025/2026 $10,506.
Risk & Opportunities
There is a risk that Noosa Council will not gain value from SEQCRA membership. This is unlikely,
because membership fees will fund a shared resource that will reduce the administrative burden of
project management and applying for grants. The benefits of being able to utilise the regional
coordinator offers promising value for Noosa Council.
There is a risk the Noosa employees will spend too much time on projects. Project management
support by the Alliance Coordinator will reduce this risk. Additionally, all members have a say in the
projects SEQCRA undertakes through its Governance Structure. Membership can ensure their
relevance and guide delivery methods. Noosa Council will have the option of not participating in
projects that do not demonstrate commensurate value. Projects that Noosa Council participates in
Page 12 of 41
Page 13
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
will have a direct link to the priorities and outcomes sought in the Noosa Climate Change Response
Plan.
Due to it’s infancy, the true value of SEQCRA is not yet evidenced through project outcomes. The
risk is also an opportunity for showing leadership and support for this regional collaboration. The risk
of SEQCRA not being established due to insufficient membership is also possible.
There are risks in not becoming a member of SEQCRA which includes reputational risk through
perceived lack of collaboration, and missed opportunities to pool and leverage resources and
achieve efficiencies through these processes.
Notably, collaborations with other local governments on climate change over recent years have
proved highly beneficial for Noosa Council. Benefits have already included sharing knowledge,
building capacity and capabilities, pooling resources, improved economies of scale, and reducing
duplication of effort. This alliance model provides great potential to drive positive change and action
within the organisation, across the region and at the local community level. The value of potential
gains through collaborative projects and knowledge sharing is likely to far outweigh the cost of
membership.

ASSESSMENT REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides an assessment of an application to reconfigure an existing 1169m2 lot into 2
residential lots, with lot 1 to have an area of 600m2 and lot 2 an area of 576m2.
The site is zoned Low Density Residential and is located on the corner of Poinciana Avenue and
Butler Street, Tewantin, adjacent a busy round about. A sewer line runs adjacent the site’s southern
boundary. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing building with the existing access
arrangements for lot 1 maintained – entering from Poinciana Avenue and exiting to Butler Street and
a new access proposed for Lot 2 from Butler Street.
The assessment concludes that the proposal does not meet the Reconfiguring a Lot Code
requirements falling below the minimum lot size and lot width and/or being irregular in shape. While
the lot size is generally consistent with other lots in the area, the proposed subdivision will not result
in suitable house sites for future residents and an appropriate, safe access is not able to be provided
for both lots. It is also expected that access to lot 2 will adversely impact on the functionality of the
roundabout given its proximity to the roundabout. Creating additional lots on a roundabout is not
desirable from both a traffic and amenity perspective.
The application is therefore recommended for refusal.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Acting Manager Development Assessment to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 9 May 2023 regarding Application No. RAL22/0028 for a
Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot – 1 into 2 lots, situated at 1 Poinciana Ave Tewantin
and:
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcomes 2(a),(e)(ii), Performance Outcomes
PO5(a),(c),(e), PO6(b),(d), PO13,PO20(c),(d),(f) and Acceptable Outcomes AO5.1, AO5.2,
AO13.1, AO20(e),(h) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
a. The proposed lots do not comply with the minimum lot size and average width and/or
are irregular in shape and are not suitable to accommodate future dwellings.
b. The proposed lots cannot accommodate future dwellings consistent with the purpose
and overall outcomes of the Low Density Residential Zone as the proposed lots will
not make a positive contribution to the streetscape or achieve a high level of
residential amenity for future residents.

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 9 MAY 2023
c. An appropriate safe and convenient access is not able to be provided to each of the
lots, with the proposed new access likely to adversely impact on the functionality of
the road network.
d. The proposed lots are located adjacent a roundabout and are not appropriate from a
traffic safety and amenity perspective.
2. The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 2(i) and Performance Outcome PO3 of
the Transport Code as the proposed new access is not appropriate and is likely adversely
impact on the safety and operation of the road system.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
This application seeks approval to reconfigure an existing residential lot into 2 lots, with lot 1 to
have an area of 600m2 and Lot 2 an area of 576m2. Both lots are proposed to have their own
access, with Lot 1 to utilise the existing access arrangements and Lot 2 entering and exiting via
Page 21 of 41
Page 22
Butler Street. The existing duplex is to be demolished. Existing services are to be extended to
service both lots.

2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
A development approval (TPC 218) for a multiple dwelling of 2 units was issued in September
1972.
A pre-lodgement meeting was held in March 2021 wherein the applicant was advised that the
proposed subdivision was unlikely to be supported given the irregular shape of lot 1 and the
proposed access to lot 2 was unsafe and there were no opportunities for on street car parking.
2.2. Site Description
The site has an area of 1169m2 and was created in 1923. The site fronts both Poinciana Avenue
and Butler Street with vehicular access constructed from Poinciana Avenue exiting to Butler Street.
There is a 1 to 2 storey duplex building erected along the eastern boundary of the site, established
in the early 1970s. The applicant advises the units were occupied since being first established but
the units have since been abandoned.
There are a number of native trees located in the road reserve to the site’s frontage with some
domestic landscaping within the site. The site is generally flat sloping gently towards Butler Street.
A sewer line runs parallel to the site’s southern boundary.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is located at the edge of a residential area, with the surrounding residential lots also zoned
Low Density Residential. These lots range in area from approximately 500m2 to 1000m2 and all
are mostly a rectangular, regular shape.
Page 23 of 41
Page 24
Read Park is located opposite the site in Poinciana Avenue, with the Tewantin Sports Complex
opposite in Butler Street. Further south of the site in Butler Street is a crematorium and church.
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
• State Planning Policy;
• South East Queensland Regional Plan;
• Planning Regulation 2017;
• Noosa Plan 2020.
3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy
The Noosa Plan 2020 is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) and
the SPP raises no further issues relevant to the proposed development.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The following assessment benchmark from the Planning Regulation 2017 applies to the
application:
• SEQ Regional Plan
The proposal is for urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the assessment
benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in Tewantin and is zoned Low Density Residential. The proposed
reconfiguring a lot application is required to follow a code assessable application process.
The application must be assessed against each of the following codes to the extent they are
relevant to the development:
• Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code
• Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code;
• Reconfiguring a Lot Code
• Low Density Residential Zone Code;
• Works Codes.
3.3.1 Overlay Codes
The site is mapped as being within a potential impact buffer area for bushfire due to the site being
in proximity to the Tewantin TAFE site which is mostly vegetated. It is also mapped as being
potentially subject to acid sulfate soils given it is low lying, and in proximity to Lake Doonella and
the Noosa River.
The overlay mapping has no implications for this proposed reconfiguring a lot with the potential
bushfire and acid sulfate soils to be addressed by a private building certifier at the time of
construction of any new buildings on the site.
Page 24 of 41
Page 25
3.3.2 Reconfiguring a Lot Code
The Reconfiguring a Lot Code includes a number of outcomes that are relevant to the proposal
and are designed to ensure new lots are appropriate for their intended use, result in a high standard
of amenity, respond to constraints and provide safe vehicle access. These are set out below for
Council’s reference:
(a) Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are appropriate
for their intended use and are consistent with the sizes of surrounding lots.
(e) Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of safe and healthy
communities by:
(ii) ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a public road;
PO5
New lots have areas and dimensions that:
a) are consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes of the applicable zone or zones;
b) are consistent with the size and character of surrounding lots;
c) can accommodate land uses that are consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes of
the applicable zone;
d) allow for siting and construction of buildings, structures, access ways and car parking
while:-
i. retaining ecologically important areas and ecological linkages;
ii. minimising risk of soil erosion, landslide, flooding and bushfire;
iii. minimising earthworks or retaining walls associated with construction on sloping
sites;
iv. retaining the scenic amenity and vegetated character of the landscape;
v. retaining culturally significant features and protecting views to culturally significant
features;
vi. minimising detrimental impacts of effluent disposal or storm water runoff; including
open space for landscaping; ensuring safe vehicular manoeuvring areas without
concentration of driveways in one space; and
vii. where not in a water or sewerage service area, allow for water storage tanks and
suitable effluent disposal.
e) except where otherwise specified in a local area code, comply with the minimum lot size
specified in Table 9.5.1.4 Minimum Lot Size and Dimensions.
PO6
Development provides for irregular shaped lots to be created only where:
a) the creation of regular lots is impractical such as at a curve in the road or because of
topographical constraints;
b) safe access and visual exposure to and from the site can be provided, while not
adversely impacting on the functionality of the surrounding road network;
c) it is desirable to avoid clearing of vegetation and the fragmentation of habitat in
ecologically important areas; and
d) the irregular lot is demonstrably suitable for its intended purpose.
PO13
Each lot is provided with safe and convenient vehicle access.
PO20
Residential lots less than 600m2:
a) occur only where they are consistent with the size of established adjacent lots;
b) are not less than 500m2 in area;
c) are free of physical constraints or encumbrances that would restrict the siting of a
house;
d) have area and dimensions that can accommodate an appropriate house site
area without siting variations;
e) are distributed across a development to create diversity in lots; and
f) do not result in excessive driveways at intersections or corners.
Page 25 of 41
Page 26
The proposed lots do not comply with the code requirements, with proposed lot 1 being an irregular
shaped lot and lot 2 falling below the minimum lot size of 600m2 and 17m average lot width. While
the area of lot 2 is not dissimilar to a number of other lots in the area and so will not appear out of
character, the proposed new access for lot 2 is not safe and is likely to impact the functionality of
the road network given the site’s location on a busy roundabout.
To achieve a safe access the applicant’s traffic engineer recommends that all access movements
to Lot 1 and Lot 2 are forward in and forward off the site and adequate provision is made for visitor
parking. This would result in a significant portion of the frontage of Lot 2 to be dedicated for vehicle
manoeuvring and parking and is not considered a practicable or appropriate outcome, with limited
means for Council to enforce such a requirement. The manoeuvring and parking areas would
dominate the streetscape (the front 6 metre setback), leave little opportunity for any meaningful
landscaping and result in a restricted, unsuitable house site area. The smaller lot size and lesser
width, as well as the existing sewer main all compound the unsuitability of lot 2. Vehicles entering
lot 2 from Butler Street will also slow the flow of traffic on and off the roundabout contrary to its
intended function and has the potential to lead to collisions. Sufficient information has not provided
to demonstrate that vehicles exiting the roundabout onto Butler Street have the minimum safe
intersection sight distance required to safely stop and avoid collision.
Proposed lot 1 is an irregular shaped lot and while it is a direct result of its location on the curve of
the road, it is not suitable for a house site, being highly constrained by its shape, minimum area
and the existing access arrangements across the site’s frontage which are recommended to be
retained by the applicant’s traffic engineer.
Overall, the proposed subdivision of the site does not meet the requirements of the Code as it will
result in lots not suitable for future dwellings, with access to lot 2 unsafe and likely to adversely
impact on the functionality of the road network.
3.3.2 Low Density Residential Zone Code
The Low Density Residential Zone is intended to accommodate predominantly detached housing
on lot sizes consistent with the character of the area and which meets needs of residents. The
proposal is generally consistent with this intent though may result in a poor outcome for the
streetscape and amenity for future residents being located on a busy roundabout. Future dwellings
are also likely to require siting variations given the proposed lot size and shape.
4. CONSULTATION
4.1. Referral Agencies
Not applicable
4.2. Internal Council Referrals
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers:
• Development Engineer
4.3. Public Notification
The application was not required to be publicly notified under the Planning Act 2016. Given the
application is required to follow a code assessment process.
5. CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
It is concluded that the proposed reconfiguring a lot is contrary to the Noosa Plan 2020
requirements for lots in the Low Density Residential Zone falling below the minimum lot size and
average width and/or being irregular shape. While the lot sizes are generally consistent with other
lots in the area, the site is located adjacent a busy roundabout, and the proposed subdivision will
not result in suitable house sites for future residents. An appropriate, safe access is also not able
to be provided for both lots and it is also expected that access to lot 2 will adversely impact on the
functionality of the roundabout. The application is therefore recommended for refusal.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not Applicable
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Acting Manager, Development Assessment to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 9 May 2023 regarding planning applications that have been
decided by delegated authority.
REPORT
The Local Government Act 2009 allows, by resolution, a local government to delegate its powers to
the Mayor, CEO, a standing committee or a joint standing committee and the CEO to delegate those
powers to another employee of Council.
Under the current delegations for the Planning Act 2016 the ability to manage, assess and decide a
range of development applications are delegated to officers with the exception of the following which
are reported to Council for a decision:
a. an application for a variation request mentioned in section 61 of the Planning Act 2016 to
vary the effect of the planning scheme;
b. the approval of an application where there is substantial non-compliance with a stated policy
of the Council or a high order provision of the Planning Scheme being a desired
environmental outcome, or an overall outcome of a code;
c. the refusal of any application where Council is the assessment manager;
d. requests for change representations, and change applications to change or delete conditions
that were imposed by Council at an Ordinary Meeting or a Special Meeting;
e. and an application for a proposed development of significant community interest.
It should be noted though that due to the strict time frames of the Planning Act 2016, officers under
the current delegations have the ability to decide an application where the application has the
potential for 'deemed approval'.
In accordance with the current delegations, a wide range of development applications are decided
by Council officers each month, with a limited number of applications reported to Council for a
decision.
Attachment 1 lists applications that are decided by delegated authority during the month of March
2023 (excluding applications seeking to remove a tree(s) adjacent to a building or structure).
