As indicated in the table above, the proposed works are consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan
with regard to detached dwellings. However the proposed extension does not comply with the
development parameters of the approved plans of the Court Order in terms of site cover, gross floor
area and setbacks. Condition 6.2 of the Court Order states:

        6.2 All of the Conditions are integral to and non-severable from the development approval. In
        interpretation of these Conditions or the exercise of any discretion by the Council of its officers,
        the overriding consideration shall be to ensure that the visual and environmental impact of the
        Development on the Site is minimal and to enhance and maintaining the Environmental Values
        of the site.

In support of the proposal the applicant notes:

    •   The building complies with all Noosa Plan 2006 development parameters for detached
        dwellings;
    •   The extension is minor, located over an existing deck and is well integrated with the existing
        built form;
    •   The extension is not visible to the surrounding area;
    •   The extension represents a 0.5% increase to the built form;
    •   No vegetation is removed as a result of the extension;
    •   The extension enables landscaped setbacks to be provided between the existing buildings in
        the area;
    •   Materials and colours approved under the Court Order will be utilized;
    •   The extension will not impact on the amenity of the adjoining lot.
    •   The Noosa Plan 2006 does not detail a specific gross floor area for the site;
    •   Based on the size of the lot (805ms) and location, the existing dwelling three bedroom home is
        relatively modest compared to other homes in the surrounding area;


The applicant will be seeking amendment of the following conditions of the court order:
