4.6 Sustainable Building Design Code
The design allows for natural light and ventilation to make the most of the prevailing breezes. The
lower level has a ceiling height of 2.7m and the upper level 2.4m. The open floorplan allows for cross
ventilation and louvers to the upper level promotes airflow. The living spaces face north or east where
practicable ensuring maximum dwelling yield and efficient use of the lot shape in accordance with
the planning scheme. The stormwater water management plan also includes stormwater detention
tanks and a bioretention area to the southwest corner of the site.

Building products are to be ethically and efficiently sourced and waste kept to a minimum to ensure
cost efficient and less waste in the building process.

5.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part. The site is not located within an erosion prone area and therefore does not require assessment
against the SPP.
