       –   (o) Development of the built environment and infrastructure is undertaken in a distinctive 'Noosa
           style'. This is largely contributed by skilled designers aware of the emerging styles, as well as
           approaches extolled by the Noosa Design Principles.

       –   (t) Development is designed to suit the subtropical climate; to incorporating materials that are
           recycled or have low levels of embodied energy; and to be energy, water and waste efficient.

▪      Strategic Outcome 3.3.2 - Community Wellbeing:

       –   (c) Noosa Shire has an inclusive community of older people, families, children, young adults and
           other households.

       –   (d) Local employment, housing, entertainment, services and facilities are provided to meet the
           needs of all generations.

▪      Strategic Outcome 3.3.3 – Housing Choice:

       –   (a) Residential development occurs on land that is suited and designated for the intended form
           of housing and avoids any unnecessary removal of significant vegetation.

       –   (d) Residential development is designed within the planned capacity of infrastructure including
           roads, water and sewerage.

       –   (e) A wide range of housing including accessible housing, is spread throughout the existing urban
           areas of Noosa Shire and responds to housing needs associated with factors such as changing
           demographics, changing composition of households, and lifestyle choices.

A detailed assessment of the relevant Strategic Outcomes is provided in Appendix D.


6.4 Zoning
Under the Planning Scheme, the site is identified in the Medium Density Residential Zone as shown in Figure
15.

The overall outcomes of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code applicable to the site are:

      a. “The Medium density residential zone provides housing for permanent residents.
      b.   The character of medium density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors such as proximity
           to beaches, the Noosa River, recreation spaces, centres, topography, availability of views, the
           established vegetated character, the presence of visitor accommodation and the age of
           development.

      c.   Development makes a positive contribution to the desired character of the residential
           neighbourhood by achieving small scale well-designed buildings and landscaped outcomes that
           enhance an open and green streetscape.

      d.   The bulk and scale of development located on that part of the site in the Medium Density Housing
           zone is consistent with the building height, plot ratio and site cover required by the performance
           outcomes of this code…”

The proposal is designed to remain consistent with bulk and scale envisioned for the site for development
within the Medium Density Residential Zone. An assessment against the built form parameters is provided in
Section 4.2 above.
