Planning Report - 13 Eumundi-Noosa Road, Noosaville QLD 4566 - Dual Occupany

                                                                                                       GPC
5.6.2    Side Boundary Setback
Acceptable outcome AO12.1 of the Medium density residential zone code prescribes a minimum side
boundary setback of:
•     1.5m setback up to a wall height of 4.5m
•     2.0m setback between a wall height of 4.5m – 7.5m
•     2.5m where above a wall height of 7.5m.
The proposed development contains the following side boundary setbacks which partially do not comply
with acceptable outcome AO12.1:
Lot 1 Dual Occupancy

• Varying setback of 0.875m – 2.5m up to a wall height of 4.5m along the eastern boundary
• 1.0m setback up to wall height between 4.5m – 7.5m along the eastern boundary
Lot 2 Dual Occupancy

•     Varying setback of 1.0m – 1.4m up to a wall height of 4.5m along the western boundary.
It is important to note that the setbacks as mentioned above vary along the wall length and therefore non-
compliance is only limited to certain sections along the eastern façade of the Lot 1 dual occupancy and the
western façade of the Lot 2 dual occupancy. Further, all other setbacks comply with the provisions of the
Medium density residential zone code, noting that the setbacks between the dual occupancy units are
considered to be internal.
An assessment which demonstrates compliance with correspondence performance outcome PO12 is
provided in the table below.

 Performance Outcome PO12 –                    GPC Assessment
 Medium Density Residential Zone Code

 Buildings and structures are designed and
 sited to:

    (a) provide a high level of amenity to     Lot 1 Dual Occupancy
        users             of            the
                                               The reduced side boundary setback along the eastern side
        subject site and adjoining premises,
                                               boundary adjoins an access handle which accommodates
        including provision of visual and
                                               vehicle movements to the Noosa Sea Scouts facility at the
        acoustic privacy;
                                               rear of the site. Accordingly, amenity impacts as a
                                               consequence of this reduced eastern side boundary setback
                                               is considered minimal, noting that the eastern façade of the
                                               building contains significant building articulation and
                                               landscaping for the full length of the boundary.
                                               Lot 2 Dual Occupancy
                                               The reduced side boundary setback which varies between
                                               1.0m – 1.4m along the western side boundary relates to the
                                               ground level of the dual occupancy unit and will be screened
                                               by landscaping for the full length of the boundary. The
                                               second level contains a side boundary setback of 2.5m-3.4m
                                               which exceeds the planning scheme requirement.
                                               Accordingly, visual and acoustic privacy impacts are
                                               considered negligible.
