Assessment
Covering the roof terrace creates a storey and increases GFA. No other planning
parameters are affected. It is also noted that unit 22 was approved for a rooftop terrace
with a pool adjoining the stairwell.
The resort was approved under the 1972 Planning Scheme and the roof structures were
constructed at the time of the original approval. Therefore the 1972 Planning Scheme holds
significant weight in assessment of this minor change.
The 1972 Panning Scheme does not limit GFA for Multiple dwellings but relies on site
cover, setbacks, population density (linked to bedroom size), landscaping and building
height to govern development. Therefore, assessment for building height is the only
relevant parameter - as there is no GFA/Plot ratio provisions in the 1972 Planning Scheme.
Furthermore, the 1972 Planning Scheme was prescriptive with clauses that permitted
Council to relax or waiver any of the provisions at their discretion. On this basis, the current
Noosa Plan 2020 building height Performance outcomes of the High-density residential
zone (HDR) (current zone) is used and most appropriate for this assessment and is
provided below.
