Town Planning Report - 7 Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads - Final · MCU25/0053

REASONS FOR APPROVAL
Overall, this report demonstrates that the proposal should be approved for the
following reasons:
▪   The site is located in the Medium Density Residential Zone Code which
    can accommodate either multiple dwellings or a singe detached
    dwelling. This application is for a single detached dwelling that is
    consistent and compatible with the built form character of Noosa Parade,
    maintains a high level of residential amenity, exhibits a very high quality of
    architectural design, and is a land use that is a consistent use in the zone.
    Critically, but for the proposed basement, the proposed dwelling house
    would satisfy all of the relevant assessment benchmarks in the Medium
    Density Residential Zone Code to enable the dwelling house to be
    accepted development.
▪   The proposal achieves a very high level of compliance with Noosa Plan
    2020, including all key built form parameters such as building height, site
    cover, setbacks and car parking. A performance outcome is sought for the
    extent of excavation proposed relative to ground level.
▪   The proposal represents a high-quality architectural design which is
    commensurate with the surrounding neighbourhood and celebrates the
    coastal canal lifestyle.
▪   The design is sympathetic to the Noosa Parade streetscape through the
    inclusion of variation in the façade, landscaping and generous setbacks to
    the street frontage.
▪   The proposal has been designed to ensure risk to life and property from
    flood and storm tide inundation is avoided or mitigated through floor levels
    achieving the specified defined flood level for the site.
▪   The proposal will ensure soil disturbance associated with basement
    excavation does not lead to erosion or the transport of sediment off site,
    that landscape amenity is protected, and that conditions of approval can
    be imposed for the protection of the environment.
