 6.3.2              Medium Density Residential Zone Code


 6.3.2.1            Application
 This code applies to:­
 (a)    assessable development on land within the Medium density residential zone as identified on the zoning maps contained within
        Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
 (b)    acceptable development subject to requirements and identified as requiring assessment against the Medium density residential
        zone code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).


 6.3.2.2            Purpose and overall outcomes
 (1)    The purpose of the Medium density residential zone is to provide for:­
        (a)   medium density multiple dwellings; and
        (b)   community uses, and small­scale services, facilities and infrastructure, to support local residents.

 (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Medium density residential zone are as follows:­
        (a)   Medium density residential neighbourhoods are predominantly home to permanent residents.
        (b)   The character of medium density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors such as proximity to beaches, the Noosa
              River, recreation spaces, centres, topography, availability of views, the established vegetated character, the presence of
              visitor accommodation and the age of development.
        (c)   Development makes a positive contribution to the look and feel of residential neighbourhoods by maintaining a low scale
              character with well designed buildings and landscaping that enhance the streetscape.
        (d)   New uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding uses.
        (e)   The intrusion of incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately accommodated in other zones is avoided to
              protect land for dual occupancies, community residences, rooming accommodation, multiple dwellings, retirement and
              relocatable home park facilities.
        (f)   Development caters for both the current and projected demographic and socio­economic profile of the area, including one
              and two­person households, households on low to moderate incomes and residents with reduced mobility.
        (g)   Small dwellings and co­housing models are integrated within the medium density residential built form to increase
              housing choice.
        (h)   Short­term visitor accommodation is predominately provided through well­established resorts and holiday units.
        (i)   Home­based businesses provide for domestic workplaces and home­hosted guest accommodation of a scale and
              intensity compatible with attached and semi­attached living and the residential character and amenity of the surrounding
