East (seaward) setback
The proposal includes an eave and a small portion of cantilevered building protruding into
the 15m setback in addition to the uncovered balcony. Figure 4 below shows the minor
extent of the encroachment and an assessment against the Overlay Code follows. Noting
the awning does not constitute a cover under the planning scheme and patio 3 complies
as being uncovered and cantilevered.

Coastal protection provisions
Overall outcome
(2) The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:
     (a) Development allows for natural processes of erosion and accretion to occur naturally,
           including as a result of sea level rise.
     (b) Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal
           areas are not impacted by development to mitigate coastal hazard risks and to protect
           environmental values; and
     (c) Development is designed and sited to protect the visual character and scenic amenity of
           the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Area and to integrate with the surrounding
           natural landscape and skyline vegetation.

PO1 Development allows for natural fluctuations of the coast and foreshores to occur, including
    allowance of climate change.

PO2 Development is located, designed and constructed to:
(a) maintain dune crest heights and minimise and mitigate the risk to development from wave
    overtopping and storm tide inundation; and
(b) maintain or enhance coastal ecosystems and natural features such as coastal creeks and
    marine plants including mangroves, salt marshes and coastal wetlands, to assist in protecting
    and buffering communities and infrastructure from sea-level rise and coastal inundation
    impacts

The provisions seek development does not interrupt the natural cycle of accretion and
erosion, allows for the natural fluctuation of the coast and maintains the coastal
ecosystems.
