           Roof Form                                                                                                            4
           It is considered that the proposal complies with $12.1 as the main roof of the proposed Detached house has a
           pitch of 5 degrees.   Nonetheless, should Council not concur with our interpretation of ‘main roof, an               4
           assessment is provided against the provisions of 012 as follows:                                                     |
                    a)      contribute positively to the local skyline
                   The proposed development relates well to the local skyline as it incorporates a mixture of traditional       |
                    and modern features. The north westem comer of the dwelling, although not providing a pitch of 5
                    degrees, is compatible with the skyline of Sunshine Beach, particularly the recently constructed
                    dwellings in Arakoon Crescent and the three duplexes currently under construction on the corner of
                    Belmore and Stevens Street.
                    Furthermore, the dominant character of quality modem design in Queensland is a mixture of low to
@                   no roof pitching. In support of this, Attachment 3 contains a selection of images from the Royal
                   Australian Institute of Architects showing award winning QLD dwellings which feature similar design
                    features as the approved development.   It is noted that a number of these are located within the
                    Noosa Shire, with one designed by the project architect.
                    b)      complement the beachside character of the locality
                    As detailed above, the beachside character of Sunshine Beach has long departed from the ‘beach
                    shack / pitched roof style of development.  The current character of this beachside locality now
                    comprises a mixture of modern 2 & 3 storey detached houses, duplexes and multi-residential
                    premises with low to no pitching.   Accordingly it is considered that the approved development
                    compliments the beachside character of the locality.
                    Cc)     use soft and articulated pitched or curved roof forms
                    The proposed main roof structure utilises a lightweight building material, and is of a gentle pitched
                    form.
                    d)      avoid low pitched (eg. less than 5 degrees) or box profiles/parapets; and                      .
@                   The main roof structure has a pitch of greater than 5 degrees. No box parapets are proposed.

            Roof Access
            The roof access has been provided for maintenance purposes. Due to the ‘floating roof form the main roof,
            this point provides the only access for roof repair and cleaning.
            It is noted that the roof access is located below the line of the main roof, and accordingly it is not considered
            that it constitutes a roof top terrace. However should Council not concur with our interpretation, the following
            assessment is provided
                    e)      do not create opportunities for residents to overlook the pnvate open space areas of
                            neighbouring properties
                    The roof access is located in the north western comer of the proposed dwelling and is sunk below the
                    line of the main roof structure.  This area does not overlook the private open space of the
                    neighbouring properties as it is noted that it abuts the Stevens Street road reserve, and the driveway
