                                                         Planning Act 2016

               1.      APPLICATION DETAILS

                   Application No:             DBW23/0136

                   Street address:             12 Coral Tree Ave Noosa Heads Qld 4567

                   Real property description: Lot 34 RP 90014

                   Planning Scheme:            Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)

               2.      TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT

               The application sought the following type of development approval:
               •       Building Work Assessable Against the Planning Scheme - Plot Ratio and Landslide
               3.      REASONS FOR REFUSAL

               Council decided to refuse the application for the following reasons:
               1.      The proposal does not comply with AO11, PO11, AO12.1, PO12 of the Medium Density
                       Residential Zone Code of the Noosa Plan 2020 as:
                       a.     The proposal is not of a scale compatible with surrounding development and the
                              particular circumstances of the site and will present an appearance of bulk to adjacent
                              properties.
                       b.     The proposal exceeds the maximum plot ratio of 0.4:1 for dwelling houses, dual
                              occupancy and multiple dwellings for the area.
               2.      There are no relevant reasons to approve the proposed increase to plot ratio and vary from
                       the maximum plot ratio specified by the Noosa Plan 2020 for this area.

               3.     The proposal does not comply with AO1.1, AO1.2, AO1.3, AO1.4 and PO1 of the Landslide
                      Hazard Overlay Code as:
                      a.      the land is identified as a landslide hazard area on a Landslide Hazard Overlay Map,
                              the site has a slope of 15% or greater and no site-specific geotechnical assessment by
                              a registered professional engineer has been submitted.
                      b.      the applicant has failed to satisfactorily demonstrate that the proposal will maintain the
                              safety of people and property from the risk of landslide.
