               PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                              10 SEPTEMBER 2024


               therefore required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO17 of the Recreation
               and Open Space Zone Code, which states ‘Buildings and other roofed structures do not present
               an appearance of bulk in the open space setting, to adjacent properties, roads or surrounding
               area.’
               The building is a 5.3m high single storey building, orientated so that the approximate 10m wide
               northern façade faces Mckinnon Drive, with open verandas being provided on the western and
               southern elevations, and contributing a total of approximately 0.1% site cover to the site. Given
               this, the building will not present an appearance of bulk in the open space setting to adjacent
               properties, roads or surrounding area. Additionally, the building size is commensurate with the
               existing approximate 30m long by 10m wide clubhouse on site and is likely to align with the
               community’s expectations of the type and size of building expected to be provided for such uses,
               providing sufficient amenities to a growing sporting club and facilitating the day-to-day
               administrative needs of the use by providing adequate facilities to club management. In addition,
               a condition is included in the recommendation requiring the development to incorporate colours
               and textures that blend with and complement the natural setting through low reflective surfaces
               and timbers. The proposal therefore complies with PO17 of the Recreation and Open Space Zone
               Code.
               Front Setback
               Acceptable Outcome 18.1 of the Recreation and Open Space Zone Code requires buildings and
               roofed structures to be setback a minimum of 20 metres from street frontages. The proposal seeks
               a 6.9m setback from the Mckinnon Dr boundary, and as such does not comply with AO18.1. The
               proposal is therefore required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO18 of the
               Recreation and Open Space Zone Code, which states:
                      Buildings and structures are appropriately sited so as to:
                      (a)     maintain the open space character and amenity of the site;
                      (b)     provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic
                              amenity of adjoining and nearby properties;
                      (c)     provide adequate separation from adjoining land uses;
                      (d)     allow for landscaping and the retention of existing trees;
                      (e)     help protect the natural character and visual amenity of the Noosa River system and
                              other watercourses.
               The proposed location of the new clubhouse is adjacent to a particularly wide area of Mckinnon
               Drive road reserve, with the property boundary being setback approximately 22m from the road
               edge (refer to Figure 9 & 10). Although the proposal is within the front setback, the building is
               proposed on the existing carparking area, with all existing vegetation along the boundary to be
               retained (noting one tree in the carpark will be removed to accommodate the building). The
               applicant has also noted that ‘a Landscape Plan has been developed by Council’s Parks and
               Gardens Team to provide for additional landscaping to screen the carparking area and new
               building from McKinnon Dr. There are 141 trees proposed to be planted with a range of canopy
               heights and varieties selected in accordance with PSP2 – Landscaping.’ Conditions have been
               included in the recommendation requiring a minimum 3m deep landscaping strip to be provided
               along the Mckinnon Drive frontage for a minimum length of 60m to provide screening to the
               building.
