6.0 PLANNING SCHEME

The Noosa Plan 2020 includes the site within the Cooroy Local Plan Area and within the Low
Impact Industry Zone. The application requires code assessment against the following
assessment benchmarks:

    •    Cooroy Local Plan Code
    •    Low Impact Industry Zone Code
    •    Reconfiguring a Lot Code
    •    Works Code
    •    Bushfire Hazard Code
    •    Landslide Hazard Code
    •    Regional Infrastructure Overlay Code


These assessment benchmarks are discussed below.


6.1 COOROY LOCAL PLAN CODE


The subdivision complies with all relevant provisions in the local plan code. The subdivision is
located on land within the urban boundary and will create industrial lots that will provide services
and facilities to meet community needs. The subdivision enables efficient provision of
infrastructure. The subdivision also seeks to retain existing vegetation on the site fronting Holts
Road.

The subdivision also complies with Overall Outcome (d) and PO22 of the local code which state:

The protection of water quality within Lake Macdonald and waterways that drain to it is a
paramount factor in consideration of development within the water supply catchment

Development does not adversely impact on the Lake Macdonald water supply.

The proposal will not have adverse effects on water quality. The development seeks to create
four industrial lots from an existing industrial lot which is treated by a stormwater system within
the adjoining Council reserve. Any future development on the proposed lots will also need to
provide onsite treatment of stormwater prior to discharge to this reserve. SEQ Water has also
been consulted on the subdivision and has advised that it has no objection to the proposal.



6.2 LOW IMPACT INDUSTRY ZONE CODE


The development complies with the relevant provisions of the zone code. The subdivision
provides for the efficient use of industrial land for small scale and low impacting industry
activities and supporting ancillary uses. The lots enable appropriate building setbacks to lot
boundaries and landscape treatments to Holts Road.
