Property Address 40 Mossman Ct, Noosa Heads
RP Description 144 N21859
1. DETAILS
The proposal is for Building Works Assessable Against the Planning Scheme (Patio within Flood
the Hazard Overlay).
The Planning Act 2016 allows exemption certificates to be issued where ‘the development was
categorised as assessable development because of an error’.
The Tables of Assessment for the Flood Hazard Overlay includes an error in that the table states
‘Building work not associated with a material change of use, including…’ whereby it should read
‘Building work not associated with a material change of use, excluding…’.

DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT REASONS FOR EXEMPTION
The subject site is located within the Low Density Residential Zone within the Noosa Heads Local
Plan Area and has a total land area of 614m2. The submitted plans seek to establish a patio that
covers the existing rear deck and does not propose to create additional habitable rooms within a
flooding and inundation area as identified within the Flood Hazard Overlay Code mapping. The
proposed patio does not increase the risk of flooding to the dwelling, impede upon overland flow
paths, or flood storage. The addition of the patio over the rear deck remains compliant with the
prescribed site cover remaining below 40% and is consistent with the acceptable outcomes
included within the Low Density Housing Code and Low Density Residential Zone Code.
The proposal is compliant with all other requirements of Noosa Plan 2020.
