    a) retaining and enhancing the visual and physical separation of Noosaville from other localities;
       and
    b) ensuring development does not encroach upon existing native vegetation along the road
       frontage other than for accessways.

The proposed development maintains a significant setback from Eumundi Noosa Road, which forms
part of the major road network. The design of the building being mostly single storey, with all new
building work being less than 8m in height. This means the proposed structure will not have an
adverse impact upon the visual amenity of the major road network. The proposed building design
makes use of light weight building elements and is generally in keeping with the character of other
development in the locality.

Height
O8 Buildings and other structures:
   a. are low rise and have a visual bulk and an architectural scale consistent with structures on
       adjoining or nearby land;
   b. do not exceed a building height of:
          i.   …
          v.   for all other zones— 2 storeys;
   c. do not visually dominate the street or surrounding spaces;
   d. preserve the amenity of surrounding land;
   e. ensure that development responds to the site topography; and
   f. are well articulated with strong horizontal and vertical design elements to provide an interesting
       streetscape and to complement landform changes and landscapes.

The proposed development is low rise being mostly single storey in height, and does not exceed the
8m height requirement under the probable solution. The proposed building has a visual bulk and
architectural scale that is consistent with structures on the subject land and nearby premises. The two
(2) storey component of the building is located behind the main building. The proposed development
will not dominate the street or surrounding premises, will preserve the amenity of surrounding land
and is otherwise well articulated.

Setbacks
O9 Buildings and other structures are appropriately designed and sited to:
   a. provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic amenity of
       adjoining and nearby properties;
   b. provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
   c. allow space for required vehicle parking;
   d. preserve any existing vegetation that will buffer the proposed building;
   e. allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings;
   f. maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape elements within the street;
   g. avoid large areas of continuous wall planes by varying the building setbacks and using
       appropriate techniques to provide visual relief; and
   h. help protect the natural character and visual amenity of the Noosa River system and other
       watercourses.
