SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA                                                                        28 MAY 2021


Furthermore, the proposed removal of coastal vegetation on the steep slope for the boundary and
the subsequent dwelling does not maintain or enhance the coastal ecosystems and impacts the
ability for natural coastal processes to occur naturally.
Overall Outcomes
2(a) Development allows for natural processes of erosion and accretion to occur naturally, including
     as a result of sea level rise.
2(b) Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal areas
     are not impacted by development to mitigate coastal hazard risks and to protect environmental
     values;
Performance Outcomes
PO1 Development allows for natural fluctuations of the coast and foreshores to occur, including
    allowance of climate change
PO2    Development is located, designed and constructed to:
(a)   maintain dune crest heights and minimise and mitigate the risk to development from wave
      overtopping and storm tide inundation; and
(b)   maintain or enhance coastal ecosystems and natural features such as coastal creeks and
      marine plants including mangroves, salt marshes and coastal wetlands, to assist in protecting
      and buffering communities and infrastructure from sea-level rise and coastal inundation
      impacts.
Localised Modelling – Noosa Council
The lot is identified in the Coastal Hazards – Erosion Prone Area mapping undertaken by Council in
consultation with the state. This mapping does not form part of the current planning scheme but is
consistent with the issues identified in the State direction to refuse the application. Figure 6 below
shows the subject site and the modelled erosion prone areas.
