9.4.6             Sustainable Building Design Code

9.4.6.1           Application

   (1) This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Sustainable Building Design Code by
       the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
   (2) All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

Editor's Note—The Sustainable Building Design Code identifies a range of sustainable design criteria. Development is encouraged to achieve the
highest practicable score using an accredited sustainability rating system.

Editor's Note—Acceptable outcomes AO2.1 and AO2.2 are in addition to any sustainability rating system value achieved by the development.

9.4.4.2           Purpose and Overall Outcomes

   (1)   The purpose of the Sustainable building design code is to ensure:
         (a)   development is sustainable with minimal environmental impact and maximum human comfort;
         (b)   development conserves resources and materials and designs buildings that work with their natural environment and not
               against them;
         (c)   buildings are resilient and resource efficient and incorporate sustainable building design that responds to Noosa Shire’s sub-
               tropical climate;
         (d)   building design minimises energy and water use and reuses stormwater for non-potable purposes and provides comfortable,
               healthy work and living environments; and
         (e)   buildings are cost effective to operate.
   (2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Sustainable building design code are:
         (a)   Development is located, designed, constructed and operated in accordance with best sustainable design principles.
