               2. Background
©              The subject land is legally described as Lots 9 and 10 on SP179879,.      As best we can
               determine a street address has not yet been allocated for these newly created lots. The title
               area for each tot is 543m? and both lots have a frontage to Grant St of 16.093m.
               The subject land slopes down from Grant St to a drainage reserve at the rear of the property.
               All services are available (see the Contour and Detail survey in the Appendices to this report).
               The subject land and land immediately NW and SE is currently vacant.      The land across
               Grant St is used for low-rise rental accommodation units.
               The subject land is about 300m NW of Noosa Junction. The suitability of this and surrounding
                land for medium density housing is reflected in the Noosa Plan designation for the land i.e.
               semi-attached housing.
               The proposal (see Building Design Drawings in the Appendices to this report) is for duplex
               developments on adjoining land. The design is cognisant of and responsive to the slope of
                the land. A combined development maximises opportunity for effective landscaping and
                shared open space.
                The land is located in
©               e  The “Noosa Heads Locality” Planning Area.
                e  The “Semi-Attached Housing” zone.
                Table 9.2 of Division 4 of Part 9 of the Noosa Plan lists Multiple Housing Type 2 (Duplex) as a
                consistent use and as code assessable development. Codes to be considered are
                e   Noosa Heads Locality Code
                e   Residential Uses Code
                e   Landscaping Code
                e   Engineering Works Code
                e   Carparking Code

                3. Assessment Criteria from Relevant Codes

                    3.1. Noosa Heads Locality Code
                e   The prescribed density for the semi-attached zone for sites between 500m? and 599m? is
                    less than or equal to 4.8 persons. The proposal is consistent with this criterion.
