Project Urban – 17655                                                                         June 2018


7.2 LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT


In accordance with Part 6, Division 5, Table 6.3 Assessment Table for the Attached Housing Zone
the proposal will be subject to Impact Assessment. It is noted though that multiple housing is a
consistent use in the Attached Housing Zone.



7.3 DESIRED ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES


The Desired Environmental Outcomes (“DEOs”) are statements of broad policy at a shire-wide
level, and form the foundation from which other provisions of the Noosa Plan are developed.
Part 3 of the Noosa Plan contains 12 DEOs, each relating to a specific policy.

The Residential Uses and Infrastructure and Services DEO’s are considered to be of most
relevance to the proposed development and the proposal is considered to be entirely consistent
with these DEO’s for the following reasons:


                  Multiple housing is a consistent use within the Attached Housing Zone;

                  the proposed mix of 2 and 3 bedroom units complies with the Council’s preferred
                   density requirements for the site;

                  the density of the proposed development is consistent with the scale of
                   development expected within the Attached Housing Zone and in such close
                   proximity to the town centre of Cooroy;

                  the Traffic Engineering Report confirms that the proposal will not have an adverse
                   impact on the capacity or function of the local road network;

                  living areas, private open space areas and bedrooms face the east to allow
                   favourable climatic conditions and energy efficiency;

                  the site is conveniently located next to Cooroy Town Centre;

                  the site is connected to all the necessary urban services; and

                  each unit will be provided with a general and recycling waste bin which will be
                   collected from the kerbside.

7.4 LOCALITY
