The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Tourist Accommodation Zone Code
• Noosa Heads Local Plan Code
• Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code
• Flood Hazard Overlay Code
Setbacks
The proposed unit is located within a group title lot, and it is noted that the Noosa Plan 2020 does
not include an alternative provision to the QDC for side and rear setbacks and therefore the QDC
applies. Similarly, the 1973 planning scheme which was current at the time of the original
application for the Hastings development also contained no side setbacks and thus the building
provisions applied at the time.
Generally, the setbacks throughout the existing Hastings Street development are also non-
compliant with the QDC acceptable solutions, with setbacks varied throughout, dependant on the
lot size, shape and lot location. Existing units are also not all built fully within the group title lot
boundaries, with a number of decks hanging over the lot boundaries.
The development proposes the following setbacks:
Front (East) – 0.7 metre
Rear (West) – 3.00 metres
Side (North) – 0.9 metres
Side (South) - 0.7 metres – 1.33 metres
The proposed side/rear setbacks achieve a separation distance of 1.8 metres from the adjoining
dwelling on Lot 13, thereby enhancing spatial separation and site functionality. The proposed
setback/separation is like what is existing and is not wide enough for the establishment of
landscaping but will aid in building maintenance and act as a breezeway between these buildings.
It is noted that the proposed separation of approximately 6m between the proposed development
and the approved unit on Lot 16 is greater than what the existing situation is. The following design
elements demonstrate the design has resulted in no new impacts, maximised privacy, amenity and
maintain access to sunlight:
• High sill height and slimline windows are proposed to the northern and western elevations;
• The building is orientated to the south and east away from adjoining unit on Lot 13;
• Provisioning of deep landscaping around the building to improve softening a built form at
ground level and to improve amenity and privacy; and
• The bulk of the building and living areas are located away from the adjoining building on Lot
13.
• The upper-level terraces on level 1 and 2 have been setback an additional 200mm (500mm
to 700mm) to allow canopy of trees chance to grow up.
• Addition articulation and materials have been provided to the proposed building elevations.
Rooftop Terrace
The proposed rooftop terrace includes approximately 54m2 of private open space and includes a
combination of landscaped planters and 1.7-metre-high balustrades to the northern and western
elevations. These screening elements address opportunities for overlooking consistent with the
privacy and overlooking provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020.
