               Reconfiguring a Lot Code
               Acceptable Outcome AO5.2 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code states ‘In general, lots have a
               predominantly regular, rectangular shape.’ The proposed reconfiguration of lots results in two
               irregular shaped lots, however it is noted that the existing lot is irregular in shape, with proposed
               new lot boundaries being straight, resulting in Lot 2 being more regularly shaped than the existing
               lot, whilst proposed Lot 100 remains irregular. Additionally, Noosa Plan 2020 does not include a
               minimum lot size requirement for Community Facilities zoned land.
               As advised by the applicant, the purpose of the development is to subdivide proposed Lot 100 for
               future cemetery land and enable Lot 2 to be remediated from any land contamination. As such, the
               proposed new lots are of a sufficient size and shape to accommodate any future use proposed on
               the site. The proposal complies with the requirements of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
               Provision of Services
               Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code states ’All lots are connected to
               power supply and telecommunications services and where located within the Urban boundaries,
               power supply and communications infrastructure are provided underground’. Additionally, AO12.2,
               AO12.3 and AO12.4 requires that new lots can be connected to water supply, sewerage and
               stormwater drainage networks. The applicant is not proposing to provide services to the lots as
               part of the proposed subdivision.
               Performance Outcome PO12 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code states:
                    New lots are located, sized and configured so as to ensure each lot is capable of being serviced
                    by appropriate levels of infrastructure including:
                    (a) power supply;
                    (b) telecommunications; and
                    (c) where within Local Plan Areas
                    (d) reticulated water supply;
                    (e) reticulated sewerage; and
                    (f) stormwater drainage.
               Performance Outcome PO50 of the Community Facilities Zone Code states ‘Development is
               supported by adequate infrastructure and services including reticulated water, sewerage,
               stormwater drainage, sealed roads, pathways, electricity and telecommunication infrastructure.
               The applicant states that the proposed reconfiguration is to allow proposed Lot 100 to be utilised
               for future cemetery land, whilst allowing Lot 2 to be remediated from contamination, and as such
               ‘this proposal is effectively a management lot subdivision to enable the remediation of Lot 2 from
               land contamination in the short term’.
               It is noted that Noosa Plan 2020 does not include any Uses as ‘accepted development’ within the
               Community Facilities zone, and as such any future development on the site will be required to go
               through an application process, allowing future opportunities for services to be conditioned as part
               of a development approval. Therefore, it is agreed that service connections (stormwater, water,
               sewer, electricity and telecommunications) and formalised access points are not required for the
               subject application. Conditions are included in the recommendation requiring access, external
               works and service connections to be provided as part of any further development of the site, which
               will satisfy the servicing requirements of Noosa Plan 2020.
               Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
               The subject site is mapped as containing Areas of Biodiversity Significance under the Biodiversity,
               Waterways and Wetlands Overlay (refer to Figure 4).
               It is noted that an Operational Works for vegetation clearing (OPW23/0190) was issued in February
               2024, with the assessment of the application by Council’s Senior Environment Officer at the time
               noting that, although identified by the Noosa Plan 2020 as an area of Biodiversity Significance, it
