        The Noosa Plan states that site cover means the proportion of a site covered by
        all buildings and structures roofed with impervious materials, shown as a
        percentage. For enclosed spaces this includes the area within the outside wall
        and for unenclosed spaces this includes the area measured along a line 600mm
        in from the perimeter of the roof.

        Amendments to the Noosa Plan accept site cover for a building of 2 or more
        storeys of 50% on the ground floor and 30% for the upper storey(s) or 40% for all
        storeys. Calculations based on the Noosa Plan’s description of site cover suggest
        that the proposal exceeds the limit of allowable site cover.

        The Noosa Plan states that soft landscaping means trees, shrubs, grass,
        garden beds and impervious surfaces that occur naturally such as rock outcrops.
        Soft landscaping is not located on top of a constructed slab or other structure and
        is capable of supporting the establishment and growth of canopy trees as well as
        other species. The term does not include swimming pools or impervious surfaces
        such as driveways, vehicular access lanes, vehicle parking and manoeuvring
        areas, pathways, stormwater structures, tennis courts, balconies, roof terraces
        and the like.

        Calculations based on the Noosa Plan’s description of soft landscaping suggest
        that the proposal does not meet the requirement for soft landscaping described in
        S8.2.
