Memo Completed Date 29 August 2025

PROPERTY DETAILS
Property Address 40 Seamount Quay, Noosaville
RP Description 100 RP839226
1. DETAILS
The proposal is for Building Works Assessable Against the Planning Scheme (Dwelling in Flood
Hazard Overlay).
The Planning Act 2016 allows exemption certificates to be issued where ‘the development was
categorised as assessable development because of an error’.
The Tables of Assessment for the Flood Hazard Overlay includes an error in that the table states
‘Building work not associated with a material change of use, including…’ whereby it should read
‘Building work not associated with a material change of use, excluding…’.

DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT REASONS FOR EXEMPTION
Figure 10 – Section 3
The subject site is located within the Low Density Residential Zone within the Noosaville Local
Plan Area and has a total land area of 739.30m2. The submitted plans seek to establish a dwelling
within a flooding and inundation area as identified within the Flood Hazard Overlay Code mapping.
The dwelling does not increase the risk of flooding to surrounding development, impede upon
overland flow paths, or result in the loss of flood storage. The proposal provides compliant
setbacks, site cover, fencing height to the canal, does not impede upon views to the river and does
not conflict with the requirements of the Low Density Residential Zone Code and the Low Density
Housing Code.
The proposal is compliant with all other requirements of Noosa Plan 2020.
