Planning Statement to NSC

Attachment B includes:

    •   Geotechnical Investigation;
    •   Landscape report and concepts; and
    •   Site Stormwater Management Plan.



3. COMPLIANCE WITH STATE PLANNING POLICIES
The site is mapped as being located in a Coastal Management District. In accordance with the
Sustainable Planning Regulations a Material Change of Use requires referral of the application to
the State where a building work is carried out completely or partly in coastal management district
that has a gross floor area of 1000m2.

The proposal has an overall gross floor area of less than 1000m2 and therefore does not trigger
referral.


4. ASSESSMENT
The Noosa Plan includes the site in the Eastern Beaches Locality and provides the site with an Attached
Housing zoning.




The assessment table for the Attached Housing zone indicates a Detached House is a consistent
use and is code assessable development if the proposal does not comply with Column 2 of Table
14.28 – 14.30 of the Detached House Code except if an alternative provision to the QDC.

The proposed dwelling has been assessed against the provisions of the Detached House code and
does not comply with the Acceptable solutions with regard to setbacks, building height in storeys
and meters and site cover. The assessment table therefore indicates that the development is code
assessable and to be assessed against the Detached House Code.

4.1 Detached House Code

Setbacks

The Detached House code indicates that dwellings are to have the following setbacks:

        Frontage:                 6m
        Other boundaries:         1.5m up to 4.5m height
                                  2m between 4.5m -7.5m height
                                  2m plus 0.5 m for every 3m or part therefore above 7.5m height.

The proposal does not comply with the above setbacks and proposes a carport within the front 6metre
setback and side boundary setback due to the steep slope of the site. The proposed carport location is
consistent with other garages that have been approved within the street.
