                       Figure 6: Northern elevation of new deck detailing screening

The applicant has provided a side elevation plan detailing the impact on the outlook from the new
deck to the existing dwelling. The plan does not include RL’s. The deck is to be screened along
the northern elevation and therefore any outlook is limited to the 3.5 metre wide opening at the
western end of the deck.
The following image is the elevation plan provided by the applicant.

Specific Outcome 16 of the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code addresses roof form and
includes requirements for roof form to contribute positively to the local skyline and compliment
the low rise character of the locality. The specific outcome does not seek to protect view lines
when requiring the 12 degree roof pitch.
The requirement for a 12 degree roof form is not a Shire wide requirement; it is a specific
requirement which seeks to protect the character of certain areas (Cooroy and Lake Macdonald
Locality, Boreen Point and Kin Kin).
The profile of the proposed roof form will be visible from Kauri Street, is not consistent with the
character of the surrounding area and does not comply with the Noosa Plan.
Furthermore, it is likely that additional properties with a frontage to Olivine Lane will be developed
in the future and therefore it is important that a suitable precedent is established prior to these
sites being developed.
