Minor Change Report 51983 3225 15 [As Published]

                a) provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                   including provision of visual and acoustic privacy;
                b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
                   areas of adjoining premises;
                c) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                e) allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area
                   at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living and utilities;
                f) be consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area, maintaining the visual
                   continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape elements within the street; and
                g) protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
                   areas such as the beach, Noosa River, national parks and other parklands.
               Preserving amenity for users of the premises and preserving landscaping between buildings is
               most relevant to this site, as the multiple dwelling units currently have various separation distances
               between each dwelling unit and some mature vegetation exists on site.
               The existing units are all sited relatively close together and staggered in terms of their orientation
               throughout the site. Existing decks are generally located in a northerly or easterly orientation. For
               example the upper deck on neighbouring Unit 18 is orientated east, in line with the existing northern
               deck on Unit 17. Some decks have privacy screens which is common throughout the development
               as is the orientation of the decks, where some face each other.
               As per the previous approval, it is noted that the corner of the balcony of Unit 16 encroaches on
               the Lot 17 by 0.575 metres, which results in some built form in close proximity to each other. At
               some point this encroachment will be rectified, through a building modification. The majority of the
               new building footprint is setback enough to allow for landscaping between buildings and preserve
               amenity.
               A site inspection with the architect who modelled the changes as shown in the below Figures 6 &
               7 demonstrated that the changes in setbacks do not introduce new impacts with regard to privacy
               or bulk and scale from that previously approved, or the ability to provide for meaningful
               landscaping. The applicant’s architect indicated that the setback of the corner of the spa area
               creates structural issues and provided some modelling around the proposed setback. The
               modelling demonstrated that the spa area on the upper floor which intrudes further into the setback
               does not introduce new impacts with regard to bulk and scale as the corner area (previously
               setback) presents as 1.3 high lightweight screen. The change does not create an overlooking
               issue, due to the proposed screening.
