PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   9 APRIL 2019


Localised Modelling – Noosa Council
The lot is also affected by Council’s new Coastal Hazards – Erosion Prone Area mapping. The
modelling was undertaken in accordance with the Queensland Government Coastal Hazard
Technical Guide. Modelling for Erosion Prone Area 1% AEP storm event consists of three future
planning horizons– the years 2040, 2070 and 2100, as well as present day conditions, for a
comparison. The modelling outputs were completed and signed off in February 2018 by the
relevant representative of the QLD State Government ensuring the modelling was in accordance
with the State guidelines. Figure 5 below shows the subject site and the newly modelled erosion
prone areas.




                            Figure 5 – Erosion Prone Area and subject site

The modelling suggests that by 2040 and 2070, within the life of this development, approximately
between 50% up to 80% of the site is affected by coastal erosion in a 1% AEP storm event.
Discussion with Applicant
The applicant was consulted at the Information request stage of the application process as to
whether they would consider changing their proposal to have all proposed built form to be located
landward of the Coastal Building Line. The applicant declined this option.
Around the same time Council officers met with the applicant, whereby the applicant conveyed
their wish to build within 6 metres from the eastward boundary as per other residents in Seaview
Terrace had. They expressed their disappointment with regard to timing, whereby policy
positions had been strengthened since purchasing their property and submitting the application
for the proposed dwelling.
