              5.4.1 Agricultural Land Overlay


              It is acknowledged that the subject site is included within the Agricultural Land
              Conservation Area in accordance with the Agricultural Land Overlay of the Noosa Plan
              2020. There is no further built form proposed on Proposed Lot 476 as part of this
              proposal, with the existing dwelling house and associated structures to be retained in
              this lot. Due to the small size of the land to the south of the existing dwelling (being
              the only cleared are mapped as suitable) and the heavy slope constraints, this area
              of land does not possess agricultural viability. As such, the boundary realignment
              does not result in fragmentation of viable agricultural land nor a decrease in potential
              rural productivity.




              5.4.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay


              It is acknowledged that the subject site includes land within the MSES Environmental
              Values, Area of Biodiversity Significance, Waterways, MSES Regulated Vegetation –
              intersecting a watercourse areas and Riparian Buffer Area in accordance with the
              Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay of the Noosa Plan 2020. The future
              built form on Proposed Lot 477 is able to be sited entirely outside of these mapped
              areas. Additionally, as demonstrated by the Plan of Development, Plan No. 100774
              (Appendix C), the newly realigned boundary will intersect a much lesser extent of
              these mapped natural areas (following an existing fenceline) and is therefore an
              improvement on the existing situation. It is also noted that QLD State Government
              Development Assessment Mapping System does not list the vegetation to be
              intersected as regulated vegetation. The remainder of vegetation on the site will
              remain under the existing covenant.


              5.4.3 Bushfire Hazard Overlay


              It is acknowledged that the subject site comprises areas of Medium & High Potential
              Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact Buffer in accordance with Noosa Council’s
              Bushfire Overlay Map. The future built form on Proposed Lot 477 will either be
              established outside of the bushfire mapping, or be established within the Potential
              Impact Buffer and therefore will be designed in accordance with the relevant
