4.6.1    Purpose
 PURPOSE & OVERALL OUTCOMES                                      PROPOSAL                                                         COMPLIANCE
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, healt hy 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 The proposed development is an Other change application to the

c) Development incorporates water sensitive urban design
   principles to manage stormwater.
d) Development includes passive design elements to respond
   to the local climate.
e) Development minimises the reliance on non-renewable
   resources.
f) Buildings are designed and constructed to be energy and
   water efficient.
g) Development includes operational initiatives for energy
   efficiency.
h) Existing vegetation is retained where possible and creates
   shade and cooling on site.
i) Stormwater is collected and used on site for non-potable
   purposes of gardening, toilet flushing, laundry and hot water
   supply uses.
j) Healthy indoor environments are provided by incorporating
