              Figure 22 - Extrapolated 8m (yellow) and 12m (red) above Natural Ground Plane

Despite this part of the building not complying with the 8m and 12m height requirements the
development is considered to comply with the corresponding Performance Outcomes as:
•   The site is characterised by slope which rises approximately 15 metres from the western to
    the eastern boundary of the site. The large footprint of the buildings, which is attributed to
    their intended use, results in the development exceeding the height limit where the buildings
    extend down the slope.
•   The buildings are consistent with the expected height and scale for the purpose which they
    are intended to be used.
•   The development takes the form of 5 separate ‘pavilions’ which has allowed the development
    to progressively step down the site, accordingly reasonable efforts have been made in the
    design of the development to minimise the height impacts.
•   The maximum exceedance of the height requirements generally relates to the ridgeline of
    different buildings with the extent of exceedance less in other parts of the building where the
    roof line pitches towards to the ground level.
•   The exceedance in height is generally limited to the roof plane.
•   The height of the development is generally consistent with the Parkridge Noosa development
    which was also permitted height variations in recognition of the scale of the built form and the
    similar topography.
•   The areas of exceedance are located centrally on the site and will not visually dominate the
    street or surrounding areas generally presenting generally as two storeys to Resort Drive;
    o     will preserve the amenity of surrounding premises including privacy, views, and access
          to sunlight; Noosa Springs Boutique Hotel
    o     will respect the scale of any nearby vegetation by maintaining a vegetated skyline.
Earthworks
The Tourist Accommodation Zone includes an acceptable outcome which seeks to limit cut and fill
to a maximum of 1.5 metres. The site contains existing retaining walls and terraced platforms
supporting tennis courts and ancillary structures, with the remainder of the site containing a slope
which runs from Resort Dive to the golf course. The application material notes that additional
earthworks cut, fill and retaining will be required to construct proposed building pads, pools and
