4. Town Planning Report

          CONCLUSION

6.1       SUMMARY
This town planning report has been prepared to accompany a combined development application
seeking approval for Development permit for a Material change of use (Multiple dwellings x 3 and an
Office) and Development permit for Operational works (Road works, Drainage, Stormwater,
Earthworks and Landscaping), on behalf of Altum Property Group.

The subject site is situated at 245 David Low Way, Peregian Beach, and described as Lot 22 on P9315.
Noosa Plan 2020 includes the site within the Coastal Communities Local Plan area where it is zoned
Medium Density Residential. The planning scheme incorporates specific provisions that allow
commercial offices to be established within the zone where provided in a mixed use format.

This report demonstrates that the proposed development can be supported based on the assessment
against the relevant assessment benchmarks.

Grounds for approval of the proposed mixed use development include:-

         The Planning Scheme’s Tables of Assessment identifies that the proposed mixed-use
          development is a consistent use in the zone;
         The proposal is consistent with the overall outcomes of the Coastal Communities Local Plan
          Code, Medium Density Residential Zone Code and Business Uses Code;
         The development generally complies with all relevant assessment benchmarks. Any non-
          compliances with an acceptable outcome, is able to demonstrate compliance with the relevant
          performance outcome;
         The proposed development suitably addresses all site constraints and overlays;
         The proposal maintains the existing low-rise character of the locality and avoids any adverse
          impacts on adjoining residential premises through compliant setbacks and landscape buffers;
         The proposal represents a high quality, contemporary mixed-use development that provides a
          positive contribution to the streetscape through generous landscaping treatments and
          building design;
         The architectural design responds sensitively to adjoining land uses and it is suitable scaled to
          compliment adjoining premises through the use of building articulation, varied roof lines and a
          variety of external finishes and materials;
         The development contributes to housing diversity by providing 3 small dwelling units in close
          proximity to the Peregian Beach village; and
         All essential infrastructure including reticulated sewer and water, stormwater,
          telecommunications and electricity is already available or able to be adequately supplied.

In light of the above, we present this compliant application for approval and trust that Council
acknowledges the high level of compliance and issues a development approval subject to reasonable
and relevant conditions.
