                                       Figure 4- Encroachments shown in red.

The majority of the spiral stairs are setback compliant 6m with only a small portion at the top of the stairs
where access is provided to the 3rd floor are required to be setback 10m. This portion of the stairs is to
the side of the balcony and is no higher than the balustrade height. The minor encroachment complies
with PO9 for the following reasons-

•   pedestrian access is to the side of the small bedroom balcony and is well screened mitigating any
    overlooking opportunities;

•   the stairs are for access only and no congregating will occur to create noise;

•   no views will be impeded as the floor level and balustrading compliantly setback are compliantly
    setback would and the stairs sit nestled beside these structures;

•   the portion of stairs does not allow any additional overlooking to that if it were setback in accordance
    with AO9;

•   the stairs are centrally located on the lot providing at least 7.5m separation to each side boundary;

•   while no vegetation is proposed to be retained, dense landscaping between the stairs and the side
    boundaries is proposed;

•   148-150 Noosa Pde (adjoining the subject site), 152 Noosa Pde (opposite the subject site), 1 William
    St, 2 William St, 18 William St have reduced setbacks, demonstrating the minor setback variation is
    consistent with the predominant character in the surrounding area,

•   In terms of the eave, it will not impede views nor create overlooking opportunities and is minor in nature
    and fully compliant with PO9.
