PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 7 FEBRUARY 2023


g)    help protect the natural character and visual amenity of the locality.
AO12.1
Buildings and roofed structures are set back at least:
a)    Frontage:
      i.    0.0 metres for the ground floor; and
      ii.   2 metres for the first floor excluding Peregian Beach which is 0.0 metres.
b)    Other boundaries:
      i.    for Pomona, Kin Kin Cooran and Boreen Point 0.0 metres for the ground and first floor;
            and
      ii.   for Peregian Beach 0.0 metres for the ground and first floor excluding those properties
            that adjoin Lot 373 P93119, the village green, which have a minimum setback of 0.0
            metres for the ground floor and 2 metres for the first floor from the boundary with the
            village green.
c)    3 metres from boundaries that adjoin land in a residential zone.
The proposal also falls short of the minimum area required for landscaping (10% of the site) though
the proposed site layout is considered consistent with many other developments in Peregian Beach
which provide little to no landscaping on site with developments benefiting from the landscaping
within the village square.
The proposal involves the replacement of the existing awning with a new awning in the same
location. The Outcomes of the Code state:
PO21
Street awnings are designed and located to:
a)    provide continuous weather protection to pedestrians;
b)    maintain the continuity and style of adjacent awnings, especially in relation to height, scale,
      form and materials;
c)    contribute to an attractive streetscape environment;
d)    promote an active front by encouraging pedestrian use of the street;
e)    provide a feeling of enclosure and human scale for pedestrians so as to contribute to the
      “sense of place”; and
f)    have an adequate clearance distance from the kerb to prevent obstruction.
AO21
Street awnings:
a)    are provided along the full frontage of the building and cover the footpath where no other
      weather protection is provided for pedestrians as part of the building design;
b)    are set back a minimum of 1 metre from the kerb and where including timber posts, the posts
      are set back not less than 1 metre from the kerb;
c)    are waterproof;
d)    conform with the height, form and materials of awnings on adjoining properties which share
      the same frontage;
e)    where falling towards the street, are no less than 2.5 metres at their lowest point or where
      cantilevered, are no less than 2.7 metres at their lowest point;
f)    use an awning slope of within 15 degrees of adjacent awnings;
g)    are no more than 500 millimetres higher or lower than adjacent awnings that are less than 2
      metres away; and
h)    are no higher than 3 metres in height.
