                                               The proposed development will not unduly
                                                 detract from the existing amenity of the Noosa
                                                 Heads community. The development is of a
                                                 scale and intensity that seeks to generally align
                                                 with the settlement pattern already
                                                 established within the area. Retention of vast
                                                 areas of vegetation will further enhance the
                                                 amenity of the proposed development;
                                               As outlined in section 2 of this report above,
                                                 the development is conveniently located in
                                                 proximity to a wide range of existing urban
                                                 services;
                                               The proposed development is residential in
                                                 nature and consistent with the surrounding
                                                 preeminent development.             Surrounding
                                                 development is of a similar scale and nature,
                                                 and has responded in a similar manner to the
                                                 proposed development to site constraints.
                                               The planning scheme clearly denotes an intent
                                                 for the development of the subject land, akin
                                                 to the proposed intensity of development. In
                                                 this regard, the proposed development is
                                                 consistent with the community expectations
                                                 for the subject land and is able to be
                                                 adequately serviced by existing infrastructure.
      TRANSPORT & MOBILITY FUNCTIONS The proposed development is consistent with
