 6.4    Eastern Beaches Locality Code
 49.    The Eastern Beaches Locality Code seeks maintain a mature coastal urban area comprising five small
        communities, each with a separate identity. Some of the relevant Overall Outcomes that are specific to
        Sunshine Beach, include:
            i.  Sunshine Beach provides the highest proportion of Multiple Housing for visitors and residents in
                the locality, though the scale of such developments is less than other accommodation complexes
                found in Noosa Heads and Noosaville localities;
           ii.  An extensive mix of housing and unit accommodation for both permanent residents and visitors
                is provided in a vegetated setting, amongst undulating to steep landforms;
          iii.  Development maintains the casual lifestyle of Sunshine Beach and access to the beach, local
                shops, restaurants and urban services of Noosa Heads;
                …
           v.   Development is predominantly of domestic scale and is well integrated with the natural landform
                and landscape of the surrounding area;
          vi.   Views of buildings and structures from the beach are framed or filtered through vegetation;
         vii.   Development makes a positive contribution to the amenity of the streetscape and the natural
                environment;
                …
          ix.   The high quality building design within the Sunshine Beach neighbourhood centre, with its
                variation and separation of building forms, contributes to the casual beachside character and
                provides a popular meeting place for residents and visitors.

 50.    Furthermore, within the Semi-Attached Housing Zone, the Code seeks to ensure that:

        ‘residents are accommodated in Detached Housing forms or Duplexes that-
             i.  Provide a low impact, low density development which respects the domestic scale of surrounding
                 detached housing;
            ii.  Offer a high level of residential amenity, design quality and safety; and,
           iii.  Express a coastal building style that integrates with the landscape and topography.’

6.4.1   Eastern Beaches Locality Code Assessment
  51.   The proposed development is considered to generally comply with the Specific Outcomes sought by the
        Eastern Beaches Locality Code. Specifically:
            •    The proposed development is at a consistent scale to surrounding development, and achieves
                 the sought density of 4.8 persons for a site between 500m2 and 599m2;
            •    The proposed development will prove a maximum building height of 7.5m from both the finished
                 and existing ground level, being less than the prescribed maximum height of 8m;
