 d) Development does not materially increase
 the impact or severity of natural hazards.
 e) Development protects flood plains and the
 flood conveyance capacity of waterways.
 f) Development supports and does not
 unduly burden disaster management
 response or recovery capacity and
 capabilities.

The applicant initially looked at providing more units on the site (with a similar density to
the Beach Road Holiday Houses (BRHH) - 48 houses), however owing to the issues
associated with the existing effluent disposal easement terms with the owners of the
Noosa North Shore Retreat (NNSR) - the proposal was scaled back to one visitor
accommodation house.

If future agreement can occur with the owners of the NNSR regarding effluent disposal
servicing, then further expansion can be provided on the site for visitor accommodation in
the undeveloped areas of the site. Considering the future development potential under
The Noosa Plan and New Noosa Plan to provide for visitor accommodation on the site –
an economic impact assessment is not required for the proposed one visitor
accommodation dwelling.
