                 Issue – Site Cover
                 Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone code states:
                 Site cover of all buildings and structures on site does not exceed for a building of 2 storeys –
                      50% for one of the storeys and 30% for the other storey; or
                      40% for both storeys.
                 Site cover of development, means the portion of the site, expressed as a percentage, that will
                 be covered by a building or structure, measured to its outermost projection, after the
                 development is carried out, other than a building or structure, or part of a building or structure,
                 that is—
                      (a) in a landscaped or open space area, including, for example a gazebo or shade
                          structure or;
                      (b) a basement that is completely below ground level and used for car parking; or
                      (c) the eaves of a building; or
                      (d) a sun shade.
                 As such, the site cover calculation includes roofed unenclosed portions of the building,
                 (excluding eaves measured along a line 600mm from the perimeter of the roof).
                 The proposal is substantially over the code requirements and is not of a scale compatible with
                 surrounding development. The proposal will present an appearance of bulk to adjacent
                 properties and is not supported.
                 Information Required
                 4.     Provide updated plans complying with site cover provisions of Noosa Plan 2020; and
                 5.     Provide a Site Cover Calculation Plan, in accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020
                        definition for site cover, including roofed unenclosed areas.
                 Issue - Setbacks
                 Noosa Plan 2020 requires:
                 Front Boundary Setback
                     a minimum 6 metre front boundary setback (including basements). The proposed setback
                      is not consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape and have the potential
                      to unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
                      areas of adjoining premises. The proposed setback does not comply with the requirements
                      and is not supported.
                 Side Boundary Setback
                     Side boundary setbacks of:
                      o 1.5 metre setback up to 4.5 metres height;
                      o 2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and
                      o 2.5 metres if above 7.5 metres height.
                 The side boundary setbacks for the upper level pool does not comply with the above
                 requirements. The proposed setbacks are not consistent with the predominant character of
                 the streetscape and have the potential to unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking
                 of adjoining premises.
                 Information Required
                 6.     Provide updated plans complying with the front and side setback requirements of the
                        Low Density Residential Code.
