               Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code states:
               AO12.1 Private open space is provided for each dwelling at the following rate:
                        p.     at ground level a minimum of 25m² directly accessed from living spaces and exclusive

               The applicant is retrospectively proposing to remove the above ground private open space from
               Unit 5 and as such does not comply with AO12.1 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling
               Code. The proposal is therefore required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome
               PO12 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code, which states:
               PO12          Private open space
                        a.     is provided to all dwellings and is adequate in size, shape and dimensions to suit the
                               needs of the occupants;
                        b.     receives adequate sunlight; and
                        c.     is designed and orientated to ensure privacy is maintained between uses.
               Assessment:
               The proposed retrospective enclosure of the patio area for Unit 5 complies with the relevant
               benchmarks for private open space as outlined in the Noosa Plan 2020, as follows:
                    •    The proposed enclosure retains the area for a convertible space, ensuring it
                         remains adequate in size, shape, and dimensions to suit the needs of the occupants of
                         Unit 5 should they wish to use the space for private open space or dining areas
                         employing the use of convertible bifold windows;
                    •    The use of fully retractable aluminium bifold windows allows the space to function as both
                         an enclosed and open-air space, maintaining access to sunlight and natural
                         ventilation from the unit’s northeastern aspect;
                    •    The design retains the existing glazed balustrade and incorporates materials and
                         orientation that ensure visual and acoustic privacy for both Unit 5 and neighbouring units.


               Additional Considerations
                    •    The overall subject site includes existing communal open space areas including a
                         swimming pool located within the rear of the site, which is accessible to all residents,
                         including those in Unit 5, refer Figure 6 below.
