1    MCU19/0016 – DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE,
     DETACHED HOUSE SEAWARD OF THE COASTAL BUILDING LINE, LOCATED AT 54
     SEAVIEW TERRACE, SUNSHINE BEACH
     Committee Recommendation
     Moved:           Cr Stockwell
     Seconded:        Cr Wellington
     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting dated 9 April 2019 regarding Application No. MCU19/0016 for a
     Development Application for Material Change of Use for a Detached House seaward of the
     coastal building line, situated at 54 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach and:
     A.   Refuse Application No. MCU19/0016 for the following reasons:
          1.     The proposal is in conflict with the assessment benchmarks of the State Planning
                 Policy as it proposes development in an Erosion Prone Area and Natural Hazard
                 Area and presents an unacceptable risk to people and property from coastal
                 processes, including the projected impacts of climate change.
          2.     The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the Planning Scheme in that it
                 proposes development:
                 a.   in the Landslide Hazard Area thereby placing people and property at risk
                      and does not maintain the natural processes and protection function of land
                      forms and vegetation contrary to the provisions of the Natural Hazards
                      Overlay Code.
                 b.   in the Coastal Protection Area extending seaward of the Coastal Building
                      Line and is likely to adversely impact upon natural coastal processes
                      contrary to the requirements of the Natural Resources Code.
                 c.   which does not protect the dunal area and natural environmental nor
                      maintain the safety of people and works contrary to the Overall Outcomes
                      for the Eastern Beaches Locality.
          3.     The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the draft Planning Scheme in that it
                 proposes development:
                 a.   in the Coastal Protection Area extending seaward of the Coastal Building
                      line and does not allow for natural fluctuations of the coast and foreshore
                      to occur, including allowance of climate change.
                 b.   which has not been sited to minimise the risk from coastal processes as
                      the development has not been located as far landward as practicable to
                      ensure people and property are not at risk from coastal hazards and avoid
                      the need for additional coastal protection works.
          3.4. Recent modelling carried out by the Council indicates significant erosion is likely
               to occur in the future which may threaten life and property should the proposed
               development proceed.
