               Building Height
               Acceptable outcome AO7.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code seeks a maximum
               building height of 8.0m (but not exceeding 2 storeys). This is to ensure buildings and other
               structures are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
               surrounding land. The provision also seeks to ensure buildings do not visually dominate the street,
               surrounding spaces or the existing skyline while preserving the amenity of surrounding land and
               adjoining lots.
               The height encroachment is limited to the top of the roof pitch, with the rest of the roof well under
               the 8 metres at approximately 7.6 metres.
               The subject site is affected by the flood hazard and is required to have finished floor height of 2.7
               metres which contributes to the height encroachment.
               The height is generally in keeping with other developments in Noosaville where flood immunity is
               necessary and is not out of character with the street. The height encroachment is therefore
               supported.
               Front setback
               AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code details that buildings and structures are to
               be setback 6 metres from the frontage. The proposal plans detail sail structures/ pedestrian sun
               shades within the 6 metre setback which are not supported as they are considered as structures
               that impact on the ability of landscaping to be provided and are not consistent with the character
               of the area. A condition has been included requiring removal of the structures.
               Rear Setback
               The lower pool is proposed to be setback 1.2 metres and the lower deck is proposed to be setback
               4.5 metres in lieu of 6 metres. Landscaping is proposed in between the pool and the fence. Refer
               Figure 7.
