1. SUMMARY

This Town Planning Report has been prepared in support of the minor change to the
material change of use development application (132005.307) for the construction of
proposed alterations and additions at ‘Noosa Dunes’ 30/512 David Low Way Castaways
Beach.

This proposal generally complies with the intent of the Low Density Residential Zone,
Coastal Communities Local Plan Code, and with the relevant Planning Scheme Codes
(Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)).

The proposal will be an addition to the existing dwelling house on the 535m2 lot with access
to David Low Way. The proposal is taken to be code assessable due to the proposed lift
being established within the relevant overlays and low density residential area.
