4.2       Key issues
4.2.1 04634TP Compliance
The existing 04634TP approval was approved under the Superseded Planning Scheme and The
Plan of Development.
The conditions require specific limits to the Gross Floor Area for Lots 7-10 of 340m2. The proposed
additions result in a gross Floor Area of 334m2, consistent with the specific Plan of Development
requirements. There are no other changes to the car parking, setback, height or site cover.


4.2.2 The Noosa Plan (Building Works Code)
The proposed development meets all the Accepted Outcomes of the Building Works Code. as
demonstrated in the table below.

                                                  surrounding buildings.



4.2.3 Coastal Protection Overlay
The Overall Outcomes of the Natural Resources Overlay seeks for development within the Coastal
Protection Area does not adversely impact upon natural coastal processes and is designed to protect
the visual amenity enjoyed by users and others.
To achieve the Outcome, the relevant Probable Solutions requires a minimum 6m building setback
and 5m of landscaping along the seaward boundary to provide a buffer to protect the dunal system
and character of the beachfront. The original Plan of Development approval dedicated 9,881m2 of
the site for coastal protection purposes. The proposed development is the furthest away from the
foreshore and is consistent with the requirements of the Overlay code. The proposed development
is compliant with the setback requirements of both The Noosa Plan and The New Noosa Plan.


4.2.4 Landslide Hazard Overlay
The site is currently mapped as being within a broad area identified as containing potential landslide
hazard area under The Noosa Plan. There are no changes to the foundations of the building and a
specific geotechnical assessment will be undertaken as part of the Building Approval.
