               Noosa Plan
               The proposed alterations to Unit 19 will result in an additional 19m2 of gross floor area to total
               120m2. The existing development currently exceeds plot ratio and gross floor area requirements
               as outlined in the High Density Residential Zone Code and as such does not comply with
               Performance Outcome PO8. Performance Outcome PO8 requires that plot ratio does not exceed
               0.65:1.
               The existing development currently exceeds plot ratio requirements at 0.731:1, and the proposed
               change will result in a plot ratio of 0.735:1. It is considered that the change to plot ratio of 0.004 is
               inconsequential and will not alter the scale of the existing development.
               As the proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO8, consideration against the
               overall outcomes of the High Density Residential Zone Code is required.
