        (b)     Development reduces stormwater run­off by minimising impervious areas and maximising site vegetation to absorb water
                on site through the application of water sensitive urban design measures to manage stormwater.
        (c)     Development limits changes and disturbances to the site topography to preserve existing drainage channels as much as
                possible.

 (4)    Landscaping:
        (a)     Hard surface areas are minimised to reduce the reflection or storage of heat and maximise vegetation and soft
                landscaping.
        (b)     Vegetation is incorporated into the building design to create shade and cooling around buildings.

 (5)    Design:
        (a)     Development and building siting is responsive to Noosa Shire’s sub­tropical climate and the site’s characteristics including
                topography, orientation, existing vegetation and prevailing winds.
        (b)     Buildings are designed to:
                (i)      make the most of prevailing winds, natural ventilation and cross breezes;
                (ii)     maximise shade to east and west facing walls;
                (iii)    incorporate wide eaves and awnings for shading;
                (iv)     contain an open and permeable built form that connects indoor and outdoor spaces in an integrated design;
                (v)      retain existing vegetation and natural shading where possible;
                (vi)     incorporate passive building design to reduce the need for auxiliary heating and cooling;
                (vii)    use low toxic internal and external building materials;
                (viii)   use natural light rather than artificial light, and may include skylights, atrium's and light wells;
                (ix)     contain a minimum of two openings per habitable room;
                (x)      provide a minimum floor to ceiling height of 2.7 metres; and
                (xi)     enable efficient operation and use of the building.

 Editor's Note —The solar absorbance value is included in colour selection brochures provided by companies that supply roof materials. The National
 Construction Code also provides some guidance on colours and their absorbance value.


 Table SC6.6.1              Recommended Photo­voltaic System Size for Land Use Activity

 Land Use Activity                       Photovoltaic Size

 Accommodation Activities                (a)    if for a small dwelling—2kW per dwelling; or
                                         (b)    otherwise 3kW per dwelling.
  All other Activities                   (a)    10kW up to 500m² of gross floor area and 2kW per 500m² of gross floor area thereafter; or
                                         (b)    60% of the expected energy consumption of the development, whichever is the greater.



 Table SC6.6.2              Requirements for Rain Water Storage and Reuse

 Land Use Activity                       Rain Water Storage

 Accommodation Activities                A minimum 3,000 litres of rain water storage is provided per dwelling and reused for non­potable
                                         purposes and incorporated into a stormwater management plan for the development.
 All other Activities                    Rain water storage sufficient for the intended use is captured and used on­site for non­potable
                                         purposes and incorporated into a stormwater management plan for the development.


 SC6.6.6                 Universal Building Design Principles

 (1)    Universal design allows for occupants to easily adapt and convert their home to meet their changing needs over time. It is an
        approach to building homes using a range of design and construction refinements to create a building that:
