planning report Eumundi Noosa Rd - Courtware · MCU24/0125

Setbacks
All setbacks comply except for small portion of the eave of units 1 – 5 which encroach into the front
setback of the Eumundi Noosa Rd, ranging from an encroachment of 0.1m to 0.6m. Figure 3 below
shows the extent of the variations sought.




Figure 7 - Red highlight shows encroachment into setback

The front setback fully complies with PO12 of the Medium density residential zone code for the
following reasons:

      •   The eaves will not impact on views or visual privacy as they are narrow structures and given
          the buildings orientation and the privacy measures in place they are unlikely to be seen from
          the neighbouring units.
      •   The encroachments will not create noise as they do not allow additional areas of habitation
          to create noise.
      •   Buildings and building openings all comply with setback provisions so there is no additional
          overlooking as a result of the eave encroachment.
      •   Good separation is provided between land uses
      •   No existing vegetation is to be retained but extensive new landscaping in the frontage will
          result in a green street scape along the major road frontage.
      •   The development provides LOS, POS and landscaping in excess of the requirements of the
          Planning Scheme. The eaves will not create negative impacts on the amenity of the new
          residents;
      •   Prior to Noosa Plan 2020 600mm eaves were permitted within the setback. Many of the
          surrounding development were constructed under the superseded planning scheme and as
          such the development is consistent with this character. Notwithstanding, the superseded
          planning scheme setbacks, the encroachments are minor in nature, given they are corners
          and small slithers of eaves, and unlikely to be noticeable from the street or internal to the
          site
      •   The 6m setback is primarily landscaping which will provide a green presentation to the
          street.
