2.1. Background
On 11 February 2019 an application was made for a Development Permit for Material Change of
Use - Detached House in Coastal Protection Area (Seaward of Coastal Building Line). The
application (MCU19/0016) was considered at the Planning and Environment Committee on 9
April 2019 and the General Committee Meeting on 15 April 2019. It was determined by Council to
refuse the application with the recommendation being adopted at the 18 April 2019 Ordinary
Meeting. The grounds of refusal were as follows:
1.   The proposal is in conflict with the assessment benchmarks of the State Planning Policy as
     it proposes development in an Erosion Prone Area and Natural Hazard Area and presents
     an unacceptable risk to people and property from coastal processes, including the
     projected impacts of climate change.
2.   The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the Planning Scheme in that it proposes
     development:
      a.   in the Landslide Hazard Area thereby placing people and property at risk and does
           not maintain the natural processes and protection function of land forms and
           vegetation contrary to the provisions of the Natural Hazards Overlay Code.
