5.0 Local Planning Considerations

5.1. The Noosa Plan 2006
5.1.1 Part 2 Interpretation & Dictionary
The local planning instrument guiding outcomes and usage of the subject site is the Noosa Plan 2006. Part 2
of the Noosa Plan provides Interpretation & Dictionary that further defines a caretaker’s unit as:
Caretaker’s residence means a dwelling unit situated on the same premises as a business use, community
use or infrastructure use where it is occupied by the owner or employee of the business or operation for
reasons of ensuring security or maintenance of the business or operation.


In addition, Part 2 of the Noosa Plan characterises a caretaker unit to be:
Ancillary dwelling unit means the use of premises for a caretaker’s residence or employee residence
associated with a non-residential use on the same premises where:
       There is no other dwelling unit on the premises, except where the non-residential use is an
        agricultural use;
       The gross floor area of the dwelling unit does not exceed 150m2;
       The dwelling unit is subordinate to the non-residential use; and
       The dwelling unit is occupied by the owner of the non-residential use or somebody employed in the
        non-residential use.
Comment: The proposed ancillary dwelling unit fits the administrative definition as outlined above.


5.1.2 Noosaville Locality Plan
Part 11 of the Noosa Plan identifies the development site as being located within the Noosaville Industry
Zone. Table 11.9 Assessment table for the Industry Zone defines an Ancillary Dwelling Unit as a consistent
use and requires code assessment. In addition, table 11.9 defines the Detached House Code as an
assessment benchmark for assessable development.


Assessment against the Detached House Code is contained in Appendix 1 of this report.
