RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 8 June 2021 regarding Planning & Environment Court
Appeal No. BD1074 of 2021 and agree to defend the appeal.


REPORT
On 8 April 2021, an application under the Noosa Plan 2006 to remove the existing dwelling and
develop the site for a duplex dwelling comprising 2 x 3 bedroom dwelling units was refused:
1.   The proposal results in a development that does not comply with the following provisions of
     the Noosa Plan 2006 Eastern Beaches Locality Code:
     a.    Overall Outcomes 7.7.2g), h) and mm) as the scale and form of the proposed building is
           not in keeping with the surrounding streetscape and development, and the garages will
           dominate and present poorly to the street.
     b.    Specific Outcomes O3, O4, O5 and O6 as the proposal exceeds the maximum density,
           building height, site cover and gross floor area sought for the Eastern Beaches locality,
           proposes insufficient side setbacks and:
           i.     will be imposing on the neighbouring properties and visually dominate the street;
           ii.    will not be compatible with development in the surrounding area;
           iii.   will present excessive building bulk to adjacent and surrounding properties, and
                  the street; and
           iv.    does not allow for sufficient landscaping and spacing between the proposed
                  building and neighbouring properties.
     c.    Specific Outcomes O39 and O42 as the garages are not articulated, span most of the
           site’s frontage, do not visually integrate with the building and will dominate the street
           front.
2.   The proposal is not consistent with the built form requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020.
