      associated with the approved dwelling noting that there is no other area available on site that
      can be utilized.

        b) preserve the visual and acoustic privacy of adjoining and nearby land uses as well as
        reasonable access to views and sunlight;

        The proposal plans detail that the site and proposed solar panels are well below existing decks
        and recreational areas associated with the adjoining lots to the west and will not impact on view
        lines or sunlight.

        c) preserve any existing vegetation that will buffer the proposed building or structure from
        adjoining uses;

        There is no existing vegetation on site that will buffer the solar panels.

        d) allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings;

        The solar panels are proposed to be located over the approved driveway and condenser
        building where there currently is no area available for landscaping.

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

        The proposed solar panels are not visible to the surrounding area or street. The solar panels are
        located in the only area of the site that is capable of supporting such a structure.

        f) for class 10a buildings, do not visually dominate the street;

        The proposed solar panels are not visible to the surrounding area or street.

        g) avoid any significant adverse impacts on the natural values of waterways and their
        foreshores, including those of the Noosa River and its lakes; and

        The proposed solar panels are not visible to the surrounding area including the beachfront.

        h) do not interrupt the natural cycles of erosion and accretion of waterways and foreshore areas

        The proposed solar panels do not impact on the surrounding natural cycles as they are located
        over an existing driveway.
