planning report 9 bottlebrush

The form and scale does not dominate the streetscape or the surrounding properties, and does not
detract from the visual amenity of adjoining properties through the impact on views, access to
sunlight or overlooking. The proposed design contributes positively to the surrounding area which
addresses and enhances the streetscape, consistent with the relevant Acceptable and Performance
Outcomes of the Noosa Heads Locality Plan.


4.3 Earthworks

Although not meeting AO9 of the Earthworks Code for cut less than 1.5m in depth relative to natural
ground level, the design allows for a compliant driveway grade and parking for the 5 units (including
4 small dwelling units). The design includes backfills around the cuts with landscaping, as shown in
the Arcos Engineering plans below.
