For clarity, the definition of site cover under the Noosa Plan 2006 is as follows:

       Site Cover means the proportion of a site covered by all buildings and structures shown
       as a percentage. For enclosed spaces this includes the area within the outside wall and
       for unenclosed spaces this includes the area measured along a line 600mm in from the
       perimeter of the roof. Site cover includes garages and other roofed out buildings, but
       does not include landscape structures such as in ground pools and decks.

The turf / landscaping immediately to the side / north of Dwelling Unit 01 and the immediately
to the side / south of Dwelling Unit 02 is a landscape structure which is not located
immediately above a building or structure or immediately below a building or structure.

Despite the above mentioned, there remains a minor exceedance from specific outcome O7 of
the Eastern Beaches Locality Code which requires:

       Site Cover
       O7
       ...
       d. for the Attached Housing Zone does not exceed, in Sunshine Beach, 35% or
           otherwise 40%; or
       ...

The minor exceedance from specific outcome O7 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code is
limited to 3% (19m2) and is inconsequential and does not result in any adverse impacts on or
within the street (Margit Crescent) including any additional overlooking, any reduction in
privacy or an inconsistent built form, in terms of scale, bulk or height.

The revised architectural plans at Attachment B demonstrate the proposed development does
not have unduly impact on the adjoining buildings located immediately to the north (13 Margit
Crescent – Lot 134 on RP132135) and located immediately to the south (9 Margit Crescent –
Lot 136 on RP132135).

As noted within the information request response (13 August 2020), s.2.8.2 of the Noosa Plan
2006 clearly outlines that “the probable solutions identified in the Noosa Plan 2006 are not
exhaustive and alternative solutions that achieve the overall outcomes and purpose of the
applicable codes may be proposed by applicants”.

As demonstrated by Table 2 , the proposed development complies with the overall outcomes
of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code.
