                     This diagram from the Sprout Architects “Site sections” set of drawings shows
                     the Reed Beach Houses 6m below and behind the Peregian Beach Hotel.

                     12.2 Building Heights and Retaining Walls
                     As a result of the proposed filling of the site both the Multiple Housing
                     dwellings and Visitor Accommodation/Shared Housing building exceed the
                     preferred maximum building height. Of particular concern is the height of the
                     Hotel building and how this may affect vistas from David Low Way towards
                     the National Park and Mount Cooroy. If the DA is approved, Council will need
                     to specify the height of this building to ensure that the vista is maintained.

                     PBCAI notes that Council requested elevation profiles from all boundaries but
                     that the Northern elevation from Rufous Lane was not provided. The Covey
                     Report shows that on the Rufous Lane boundary it is proposed to install a
                     1.5m retaining wall. One Sprout Architects “Site sections” set of drawings
                     does show a Wallum House next to Rufus (sic) Lane but does not show the
                     1.5m retaining wall at the boundary. It does show retaining walls on other
                     boundaries.

                     This proposed development is in the Open Space Recreation Zone but the
                     buildings are not to be used for an indoor sporting complex so under S4.1 the
                     maximum height of the buildings is 8m.

                     Sprout Architects Site Sections show a 12m height above natural ground
                     level, especially for Lot 12, which would appear to be grossly excessive and
                     non-compliant.

                     The building of retaining walls and houses on the bank of or bed of a creek
                     will require more than just standard footings. This does not seem to have
                     been considered in this DA, which ignores the existence of the
                     creek/watercourse.
