Planning Report No. 61500

    4.0       Proposed Subdivision

    4.1         Development Details

            The proposed development seeks approval for a Reconfiguration of a Lot by
            Rural Residential Subdivision (1 Lot into 2 Lots) on land described as Lot 9 on
            RP131369, situated at 216 Black Mountain Road, Black Mountain.


            The Plan of Development, Plan No. 61500, prepared by Murray & Associates
            (Qld) Pty Ltd and attached within Appendix C of this report, depicts the
            proposed subdivision layout and access arrangements.


            The proposed subdivision has been designed to respond to the site
            characteristics of the property including the topography, accessibility and on-
            site vegetation to establish two (2) Rural Settlement Lots. Importantly, the
            proposed allotments have been carefully designed to avoid the dissection of
            vegetation identified on Noosa Council’s Biodiversity Overlay. As a result,
            Proposed Lot 2 comprises 1.171ha, which is less than the specified 2 hectares
            minimum. However, in discussions with Council, ‘in principle’ support has
            been given to the reconfiguration as despite the non-compliant lot size, the
            proposed lot layout is able to achieve the desired environmental outcomes in
            relation to the protected vegetation onsite.


              4.1.1     Proposed Allotment Areas


            The subject site incorporates a total area of 4.699 hectares, and following
            approval of the proposed subdivision, the following areas will apply for each
            newly created allotment: -


               Proposed Lot Number                     Area

               Lot 1                                   3.465ha


               Lot 2                                   1.234ha
