Planning Report

4.0          TOWN PLANNING ASSESSMENT

4.1          Preliminary Approval

As noted in section 1.1 above, a preliminary approval overriding the planning scheme was given over the
site in April 2007.

This approval made aged persons accommodation (and ancillary facilities) on the site code assessable.
This approval is valid until April 2013.

Whilst the development is in accordance with the preliminary approval, this application does not rely on
the preliminary approval.

4.2          Assessment Against Noosa Planning Scheme Codes

The other codes triggered in the Noosa Planning Scheme are as follows:

(a) Tewantin & Doonan Locality Code; and
(b) Residential Uses Code;
(c) Landscaping Code;
(d) Engineering Works Codes;
(e) Biodiversity Overlay (Environmental Protection Area); and
(f) Acid sulfate soils overlay (low potential).

There is a response to the relevant codes in Appendix D.

4.2.1        Tewantin and Doonan Locality Code

An assessment of the development against the relevant overall outcomes for the Tewantin and Doonan
Locality Code has been provided below.

      12.8     Overall outcomes for the Tewantin & Doonan Locality.

      12.8.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Tewantin & Doonan Locality Code.

      12.8.2 The overall outcomes sought for the Tewantin & Doonan Locality are the following

      a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to
         (i) be compatible with other uses and works;
         (i) maintain the safety of people and works;
         (ii) avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises including acoustic and
              visual qualities; and
         (iv) avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment, including native habitat removal, fragmentation
              and attrition;

Response: The development will not have any significant impacts upon the amenity or environmental
qualities of the subject site and surrounds. The landscaping on-site will consist of several large trees on
the property being retained and the introduction of a number of landscaping areas throughout the site.
The development is set back from vegetation/Q100 on the eastern part of the site.
