                                                    Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay
                                                    The site is indicated as being located within the following sub-
                                                    categories of the Land Subject to Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay.
                                                    ▪    5 metres AHD or Below (Area 1); and
                                                    ▪    Above 5 metres AHD to 20 metres AHD (Area 2).

                                                    As per Table 5.9.1 of the Noosa Plan 2020, the proposed
                                                    development does not require assessment against the Acid
                                                    Sulfate Soils Overlay Code as no cut, fill or general excavation of
                                                    the land is proposed.




                                                    Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
                                                    The site is indicated as being located within the Area of
                                                    Biodiversity Significance sub-category of the Biodiversity,
                                                    Waterways and Wetlands Overlay.

                                                    As per Table 5.9.2 of the Noosa Plan 2020, the proposed
                                                    development requires assessment against the Biodiversity,
                                                    Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code. A response to the code is
                                                    unnecessary for the proposed application as the change in
                                                    location to the boundary lines is minimal and no additional lots
                                                    or roads will be created.




                                                    Bushfire Hazard Overlay
                                                    The site is indicated as being located within the High Potential
                                                    Bushfire Intensity sub-category of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay.

                                                    As per Table 5.9.3 of the Noosa Plan 2020, the proposed
                                                    development does not require assessment against the Bushfire
                                                    Hazard Overlay Code no additional lots or roads will be created.
