                 •      The lower level is not a compliant basement, and therefore counts as a storey.
                 •      The landscaped arbor on the rooftop terrace results in a 5th storey in the appearance
                        and function.
                 •      The architectural plans do not clearly show finished ground level, limiting assessment
                        against AO6.2 of the Zone Code.
                 •      It is difficult to determine the building’s overall height relative to finished ground level
                        and its relationship with neighbouring properties.
                 Information Required
                 2.     Revise plans and reduce the development’s total plot ratio and site cover to meet
                        Performance Outcomes PO8 & PO9. This is to include but not limited to:
                        2.1. Reduce the size of Unit 3 to not exceed 100m2 of gross floor area, and thereby
                             enabling the proposal to remain eligible for the small dwelling “bonus provisions”.
                        2.2. Remove Unit 4’s rear terraces/balconies and replace them with windows with a
                             windowsill height of not less than 1.7 metres above finished floor area.
                 3.     Revise plans demonstrating compliance with the building height provisions of the Zone
                        Code. This may include but is not limited to:
                        3.1. Reduce the number of storeys.
                        3.2. Clearly detail finished ground level on elevation plans. This will allow for accurate
                             measurement of the building in regard to AO6.2 of the Zone Code.
                        3.3. Remove the arbor from the rooftop terrace.
                        3.4. Revise section plans to show ground level of adjoining properties, enabling
                             assessment of wall and fence heights, and the potential impacts on neighbouring
                             properties.


                 Item – Setbacks
                 The lower level does not meet the definition of a basement as defined by the Noosa Plan 2020
                 and therefore the 3rd level is required to be setback 10 metres in accordance with AO10.1 of
                 High Density Residential Zone Code.
                 A minor relaxation may be considered provided Units 3 and 4 have a staggered setback to
                 Bottlebrush Avenue providing visual articulation and reducing the perceived bulk of the upper
                 levels.
                 Information Required
                 4.     Provide increased front setbacks to Bottlebrush Avenue and demonstrate a staggered
                        upper-level built form for Units 3 and 4, consistent with the intent of AO10.1.


                 Item – Rooftop Terrace
                 The size of the proposed rooftop terrace is excessive and not characteristic of the established
                 area.
                 Inadequate information has been provided to suitably demonstrate whether the development
                 achieves Performance Outcome PO17 of the Zone Code.
                 PO17 Roof forms:
                      a. contribute positively to the local skyline;
                      b. complement the character of the locality and the topography of the site;
