               Roof Form
               Council’s Further Advice letter requested that the form of the roof and front façade design be
               amended to meet AO19.1/PO19 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
               Acceptable Outcome AO19.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states:

                AO19.1 With the exception of Noosa Heads and Coastal Communities Local Areas, the main
                       roof of the building has a roof pitch no less than 5 degrees and has minimum 600
                       millimetre eaves to at least 75% of the perimeter of the building.


               The applicant amended the plans to achieve 600mm eaves for more than 75% of the perimeter of
               the building and as such now complies with AO19.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
               The proposed design compliments the character of the locality. Existing surrounding development
               that has a combination of skillion and flat roof designs includes 57 Hilton Terrace, 108 Hilton
               Terrace, 111 Gympie Terrace, 128-132 Gympie Terrace, 165 Gympie Terrace and 167 Gympie
               Terrace, Noosaville. The applicant’s response to the Information Request includes photos of the
               roof designs that complimented the proposed development.
               Through the inclusion of eaves, a staggered roof form and a variation in materials, each townhouse
               avoids box profiles, and the design does not include parapet walls.
               The stagged façade offsets each dwelling within the development and does not create
               opportunities for overlooking and maintains privacy. The proposed terraces at the front of the
               building on the first level overlook the driveway and Hilton Terrace. There are no opportunities for
               overlooking created by these terraces to the private open space or internal spaces of neighbouring
               properties. The private open spaces areas of the adjoining properties are located at the rear of
               each lot and there will be no internal areas visible from each terrace. The private open space areas
               for each unit are located on the ground level at the back of the property.
               Setbacks
               Acceptable Outcome AO12.4 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code prescribes side
               setback outcomes applicable to the development as follows:

                AO12.2 Setbacks for side boundaries—
                ▪ 1.5 metres setback up to 4.5 metres height;
                ▪ 2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and
                ▪ 2.5 metres where above 7.5 metres height.

               To achieve the required roof form with eaves outcome as detailed above, a reduced setback of
               1.9m is proposed.
               The eaves are the only part of the building that encroaches into the side setback area, with all walls
               of the building being setback 2.5m.

                PO12 Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
                     a) provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                        including provision of visual and acoustic privacy;
                     b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or
                        habitable areas of adjoining premises;
                     c) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                     d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                     e) allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including
                        adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living
                        and utilities;

                                                                                                       Page 7 of 17
