Meeting papers

Like the two-level car park the siting of one of the tennis courts adjacent to the Links Drive setback
will generally only be perceptible to those persons utilising the resort facilities, noting the significant
setbacks to Resort Drive. As per the below image the area within the adjoining road reserve
contains vegetation which will filter views of the tennis court whilst noting that the area currently
contains a car park.




                     Figure 24 – view from Links Drive towards elevated tennis courts.

Taking this into consideration the boundary setbacks can be supported on the following grounds:
•     The location of the areas for which the reduced setbacks are sought internal to the Noosa
      Springs site do not impact on the public realm, residential character or amenity or the
      streetscape.
•     The reduced setbacks will not obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or
      habitable areas of adjoining premises.
•     The reduced setbacks will provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site.
•     The tennis courts are located above existing car parks.
•     Re-siting the tennis courts has enabled the retention of vegetation containing MSES values
      and maintains the provision of 4 x tennis courts.
