As detailed in the table above the proposal generally complies with the provisions of the Noosa Plan
except in relation to front setbacks. The proposal has been reviewed against Specific Outcome O5
relating to front setbacks and is considered to comply with the Outcomes as detailed below:

     O5 Buildings and other structures are appropriately designed and sited to—
     a) provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic
        privacy of adjoining and nearby properties;

The existing dwelling is to be retained on site with the new dwelling unit designed to maintain the
                                         privacy of this existing unit. The new unit is orientated to
                                         take advantage of the eastern aspect and ocean views with
                                         decks and windows facing the east. It is noted that the
                                         existing dwelling unit has no windows along the southern
                                         elevation and therefore is well buffered from the new unit.

                                                         The new dwelling unit is located away from the side
                                                         boundaries and the reduced setbacks do not impact on the
                                                         adjoining premises.




     b) provide adequate distance from adjoining uses;

The reduced front setbacks provide appropriate separation to adjoining residential developments
noting that the buildings are staggered to both street frontages and there are substantial areas
available for landscaping.

     c) preserve any existing vegetation that will buffer the proposed building;

Reduced front setbacks do not impact on existing vegetation located along the street frontage.

     d) allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings and street frontages and between
        neighbouring buildings;

Landscaping able to be provided between buildings and street frontages. It is noted that the new unit
has a staggered façade which enables areas of landscaping to be provided to the street frontage.

     e) maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape elements within the
        street; and
