MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE TO ESTABLISH MULTIPLE HOUSING & VISITOR ACCOMMODATION
215 DAVID LOW WAY, PEREGIAN BEACH                                                                               43


153.     Accordingly, the proposal compliance with the setbacks prescribed for the Semi‐attached Housing
         Zone (adjoining zone), which requires a side boundary setback of 2 metres, is more appropriate for
         the proposed development.

154.     Based on the development complying with the setbacks for the Semi‐attached Housing Zone, the
         proposed development complies with Specific Outcome O5 of the code, as the proposed
         development contains buildings and structures that:
           Provide amenity for uses of the premises, as well as preserve the visual and acoustic privacy of
            adjoining and nearby properties, through providing setbacks that are consistent with those sought
            for the semi‐attached housing zone;
           Provides adequate distance between adjoining land uses;
           Retains a significant portion of land, which contains environmental values associated with the
            adjoining reserve associated with the Court Order approval (Appeal 2587 of 2008);
           Provides sufficient setbacks to enable appropriate landscaping between buildings and boundaries
            as demonstrated on the Landscape Plan (Appendix 9);
           Maintains the visual continuity and pattern or buildings adjoining the David Low Way; and,
           Does not compromise the natural character and visual amenity of the beachfront.

5.5.1.4 Site Cover, Gross Floor Area and Plot Ratio – Specific Outcome O6, O7 and O9
155.    It is noted that there is no site cover, gross floor area or plot ratio limitations for development within
        the Open Space Recreational Zone. Despite this, the proposed development does not result in an
        overdevelopment of the site, with the proposed development resulting in a total site cover of
        5,463m2 (39%), total GFA of 9,232m2 and 2,663m2 (24%) of the site as planting area. It is noted that
        these calculations have been made based on the overall site area once the required land dedication
        included in the Court Order approval (Appeal 2587 of 2008) and the Shopping Centre approval
        (MCU13/0251) has being excluded.

156.     Overall the proposed development does not represent an overdevelopment of the site, with the
         building scale being compatible with the surrounding commercial development (e.g. Peregian Village
         Marketplace). Additionally, the proposed development has been designed such that the detached
         residential units maintain a scale that respects the surrounding development, to ensure that the
         proposal does not have the appearance of bulk when viewed from the road and includes sufficient
         deep planting area to ensure nearby commercial buildings are sufficiently screened from view.
         Accordingly, the proposed development complies with Specific Outcome O6, O7 and O9 of the code.

5.5.1.5 Effects of Use – Probable Solution S75.1 and Specific Outcome O76
157.    The proposed development does not comply with Probable Solution S75.1 of the code, as the
        proposed development is not for a Caravan Park.

158.     Despite this, the proposed development complies with Specific Outcome O75 of the code, as the
         development provides for low cost accommodation needs. This was confirmed by Council at the Pre‐
         lodgement meeting, with correspondence from Council indicating that a range of visitor
         accommodation may be provided on the site and that a low to mid cost visitor accommodation being a
         reasonable alternative to a caravan park.

159.     As detailed in the Economic Needs Analysis prepared by Urban Economics (Appendix 3), the proposed
         development provides an appropriate solution to a caravan park that will positively contribute to the
