MINOR CHANGE TO EXISTING APPROVAL                                                                        6
6/13 NOOSA PARADE, NOOSA HEADS


Under the Noosa Plan 2006, the site is within the Semi-Attached Housing Zone of the Noosa Heads Locality
Plan. Probable Solution S8.1 of the code requires that buildings and structures comply with the minimum
setbacks outlined within Schedule 1 (Minimum Boundary Setbacks), which requires side boundary
setbacks to be half of the height of the building.

Despite the non-compliance with Probable Solution S8.1, the proposed development satisfies Specific
Outcome O8, as the development:
    •    Preserves the amenity of future users of the premises, and adjoining properties, given the
         development contains a setback of 5.6 metres from the adjoining property and does not include
         high-level windows, which would result in overlooking opportunities. In addition to this, the
         proposed additions are for residential purposes within a residential zone, as such, the
         development will not result in inappropriate acoustic impacts upon the adjoining property;
    •    Contains consistent setbacks for the Semi-Attached Housing Zone (excluding Multiple Housing
         type 3 and 4);
    •    Although the development results in the removal of vegetation for the proposed addition, this
         vegetation is not native and does not contain any significance. It is noted that the balance of the
         western side boundary remains vegetated;
    •    There is sufficient space for supplementary vegetation to replace the vegetation removed
         between the additions and the boundary. A landscaping plan can be provided, or Conditioned,
         such that it must be provided prior to lodging a Building Application;
    •    Will not compromise the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscaped elements,
         when viewed from Noosa Parade;
    •    Does not impact upon natural character and visual amenity of Noosa River; and,
    •    Is not located on erosion prone land.

In addition to the statement of compliance with the Specific Outcome O8, the development satisfies other
key development parameters as outlined within the Noosa Plan 2006, with the development complying
with the car parking numbers, maximum GFA, site cover and building height requirements, as outlined
within the Noosa Heads Locality Code.

Given that the development satisfies the relevant specific outcome (O8) relating to setbacks of the Noosa
Plan 2006, as well as other key development parameters identified above, it is considered that the
proposed Minor Change is appropriate and will not compromise the outcomes and objectives sought by
the current and up to date planning provisions, being the Noosa Plan 2006.
