PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       25 MARCH 2014

                                    DELEGATED AUTHORITY REPORT

  e   The Noosa Plan
  Of these, the planning instruments relevant to this application are discussed in the sections that
  follow.

  Statutory Instruments — State and Other

  State Planning Policies
  The relevant State Planning Policies have been deemed by the Minister for Local Government and
  Planning as being appropriately reflected in Council’s planning scheme and therefore do not
  warrant a separate assessment.
  South East Queensland Regional Plan
  The site is located within the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area of the South East
  Queensland Regional Plan. The proposal is for a small scale tourist activity within the designation
  and is consistent with the regional land use intent, regional policies and desired regional
  outcomes.

  State Planning Regulatory Provisions
  The following State Planning Regulatory Provisions are applicable to this application:
  °      Draft Coastal Protection Regulatory Provisions
  The site is within the coastal management district and is made assessable against part 3 of the
  regulatory provisions. The proposed development does not propose any additional building works
  and includes an appropriate counter-disaster plan to address potential coastal hazards.
  Statutory Instruments — Planning Scheme
  The applicable planning scheme for the application is The Noosa Plan (8 August 2011).     The
  island is located within the Open Space Conservation zone of the Noosa North Shore locality, with
  the proposed visitor accommodation use inconsistent within the zone. All residential uses
  (including a detached house) within the Open Space Conservation zone are inconsistent.
  Local Area Provisions

  The Overall Outcomes of the Noosa North Shore locality seek only limited visitor accommodation
  and services, confined to the visitor mixed use zone and the wilderness camping ground. The
  locality code also seeks developments offering visitor accommodation to be low key, so as to
  avoid changes to the character, as a result of excessive visitor numbers and adverse
  environmental impacts from over-use.
  While the site is not located within a Visitor Mixed Use zone, the proposal does not involve any
  new buildings, structures or site works, which would adversely impact on the values intended to be
  protected by the Open Space Conservation zoning. The visitor accommodation use will operate
  within the existing development footprint. The applicant contends that the proposed development
  provides for a unique visitor accommodation experience, which is low key and will have the same
  impact as a dwelling being used for visitor purposes.
  Land Use and Works Provisions

  While there is already an established development on the site, the scale and intensity is limited by
  it being used as a single let dwelling house. Besides requiring a Building Works application to
  change the building classification under the Building Code of Australia (BCA), there is no
