Localised Modelling – Noosa Council
The lot is also affected by Council’s new Coastal Hazards – Erosion Prone Area mapping. The
modelling was undertaken in accordance with the Queensland Government Coastal Hazard
Technical Guide. Modelling for Erosion Prone Area 1% AEP storm event consists of three future
planning horizons– the years 2040, 2070 and 2100, as well as present day conditions, for a
comparison. The modelling outputs were completed and signed off in February 2018 by the
relevant representative of the QLD State Government ensuring the modelling was in accordance
with the State guidelines. Figure 5 below shows the subject site and the newly modelled erosion
prone areas.




                            Figure 5 – Erosion Prone Area and subject site

The modelling suggests that by 2040 and 2070, within the life of this development, approximately
between 50% up to 80% of the site is affected by coastal erosion in a 1% AEP storm event.
2.2. Site Description
The site has a 15 metre frontage to Seaview Terrace and a 15.4 metre frontage to the Sunshine
Beach coastal reserve and is rectangular in shape. The site is located on a steep escarpment
where at the rear boundary, the land falls away to the beachfront. The site itself has a 7 metre
fall from west to east.
An existing dwelling is located on the site within the Coastal Protection Area identified under the
Natural Resources Overlay. The Coastal Building line traverses the site north to south as shown
in Figure 1.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site adjoins detached houses to the north and south and to the west across Seaview
Terrace. The site slopes steeply to the east adjoining north Sunshine Beach.
