ADAMS+SPARKES Town Planning Report (Gympie Terrace) 160401

MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE TO ESTABLISH MULTIPLE HOUSING (2 X TYPE 2 DUPLEXS)
111 & 113 GYMPIE TERRACE, NOOSAVILLE                                                                              18


              (2) Supports, and does not unduly burden, disaster management response or recovery capacity
                  and capabilities, and
              (3) Directly, indirectly and cumulatively avoids an increase in the severity of the natural hazard and
                  the potential for damage on the site or to other properties, and
              (4) Avoids risks to public safety and the environment from the location of hazardous materials and
                  the release of these materials as a result of a natural hazard, and
              (5) Maintains or enhances natural processes and the protective function of landforms and
                  vegetation that can mitigate risks associated with the natural hazard.

45.    In response to the above, the proposed development meets all relevant requirements of the Planning
       Scheme’s Natural Hazards Overlay Code. It is noted that the required minimum floor level as outlined by
       the Flood Information Certificate is 2.82 metres AHD, with this requirement having been adequately
       reflected is all design plans.

46.    Based upon the above information, and proposed land use being low-intensity residential, the proposed
       development can be reasonably expected to meet criteria 1-5 above.

4.5    State Interests
47.    Following amendments to the SPA on 1 July 2013, the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA)
       came into effect and replaced the various State referral agencies which previously applied. As a result,
       the purpose of SARA is to provide a single agency lodgement and assessment point for development
       applications, where the State has an interest under Schedule 7 of the Sustainable Planning Regulations
       (SPR) 2009.

48.    A review of the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning mapping has indicated that
       the subject sites are impacted by the following layers:
            Water Resources
              o Water Resource Planning Area Boundary
            Coastal Protection
              o Coastal Zone
              o Coastal Hazard Area
                   Erosion Prone Area
                   Medium Storm Tide Inundation Area
                   High Storm Tide Inundation Area


49.    In relation to the above-identified layers, a review of the development has been undertaken against
       Schedule 7 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009, which has confirmed that the application is not
       required to be referred to SARA.
