Performance Outcome Acceptable Outcomes
• Frontage – 5.5m to Ground Floor open pergola (8m to wall)
• Side (north) – built to boundary Ground Floor landscape arbour structures over driveway
(3.6m to wall)
• Rear (west) – 3.5m to Ground Floor open pergola and 5.5m to Level 1 roof eave (6m to wall)
As detailed above, the reduced setbacks relate solely to lightweight elements of the building, including
the rear roof eave and various open pergola/landscape arbour structures. Fully compliant setbacks are
provided to the walls and windows of the development, with the upper level in particular providing
complying setbacks with the exception of the rear roof eave. As such, the reduced setbacks do not
contribute to the appearance of scale of bulk onsite, nor do they result in privacy impacts for adjoining
residents, on the basis that the walls/windows of the building are positioned within the permitted
development footprint.
Overall, the proposed development complies with PO12 on the following basis:
• The proposed development provides a high level of amenity to users of the subject site by
seeking to provide private open space and landscape areas that are well in excess of the
minimum areas required, inclusive of swimming pools, deep planted landscapes, turfed back
yard and covered alfresco entertainment areas;
• The proposed development does not compromise the amenity of residents or adjoining
neighbours, including provision of visual and acoustic privacy, given that compliant setbacks
to all windows of the development have been provided over both levels. Further, the site does
not adjoin any built form at the rear, with the rear adjoining Dwelling located north of the
subject site alignment. It is noted that fully compliant setbacks are provided to the southern
side boundary, where the development interfaces with Multiple Dwelling units;
• Overall, the reduced setbacks do not result in overlooking opportunities into the private open
space or habitable areas of adjoining premises;
• The location of the landscape arbour structures over the driveway will not have an adverse
impact upon the visual amenity of the adjoining neighbour to the north, given that the
majority of these structures will be screened by boundary fencing. Further, these structures
are included to accommodate climbing plants, such that they will form a landscape screening
function to enhance the privacy of the adjoining premises;
• The proposed development provides a complaint building height and largely compliant
setbacks over the upper level, so as not to obstruct views or cause overshadowing of adjoining
premises;
• The development will be buffered from adjoining premises and the street by ample onsite
landscaping, including adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs,
outdoor living and utilities;
• The proposed development presents as a single detached Dwelling from the street frontage
and is therefore consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area, which
consists of large two (2) storey Dwelling Houses that seek to capitalise on the high value land
in Noosa Heads. Further, the development is of a smaller scale and bulk than the Multiple
Dwelling units on the adjoining site to the north;
• Due to the sections of built form encroaching the prescribed setbacks being lightweight
elements, such as roof eaves and open pergola/landscape arbour structures, the reduced
setbacks will not increase the presence of bulk when viewing the site from the street or
adjoining premises; and,
