2020-07-16 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 3 - Final Noosa Plan 2020 Part 4-6

 (a)    assessable development on land within the High 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 High density residential
        zone code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).


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

 (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the High density residential zone are as follows:
        (a)   High density residential neighbourhoods are predominantly home to permanent residents.
        (b)   The character of high density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors such as proximity to beaches, the Noosa
              River, centres, topography, availability of views, the established vegetated character, the age of development and open
              space provision.
        (c)   The distinct look and feel of existing residential neighbourhoods i s retained, and development makes a positive
              contribution to the streetscape by maintaining the predominant character of the area and providing well designed buildings
              and landscaping.
        (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 higher density attached housing.
        (f)   Multiple dwellings of various sizes and some communal housing models, to the exclusion of dual occupancy and dwelling
              houses, are provided to meet the needs of different households.
        (g)   Development caters for both the current and projected demographic, economic and social profile of the area, including one
              and two­person households, households on low to moderate incomes and residents with reduced mobility.
        (h)   Small multiple dwellings are integrated within the high density residential built form to increase housing choice.
        (i)   Home­based businesses allow residents to operate discreet businesses which are compatible with high density living and
              the residential character and amenity of the surrounding area.
        (j)   Short­term visitor accommodation is predominately provided through well­established resorts and holiday units.
        (k)   Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic, noise, dust, odour, lighting and other
              locally specific impacts.
        (l)   Development provides for an efficient pattern of land use and infrastructure that creates walkable and legible residential
              neighbourhoods that integrate with active transport networks and are well connected to activity centres, employment nodes,
              open space and recreational areas, community facilities and educational opportunities.
        (m)   Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services and does not adversely impact on the
              continued operation, viability and maintenance of existing infrastructure or compromise future provision of planned
              infrastructure.
        (n)   Development responds to land constraints including topography, bushfire and flood.
        (o)   Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands, vegetation and bushland are retained and protected from
              the impacts of development and any unavoidable impacts are minimised through location, design, operation and
              management requirements.
        (p)   Native vegetation between buildings and in the public realm enhances the amenity and supports local wildlife.


 Alternate provisions to the Queensland Development Code
 For the purpose of Section 10 of the Building Regulation 2006 and Section 33 of the Building Act 1975, nominated provisions in Table
 6.3.3.3 below are alternate provisions to the QDC.

 Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
 outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
 considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
