          on look between the site and adjoining use, maintaining privacy for the adjoining
          residents.
         Level 1 and 2 achieve compliant rear setbacks with only the third storey exceeding
          the prescribed setbacks. The third storeys will have views out towards the coast
          and this will deter and avoid impacts on the privacy of the adjoining dwelling.
         The setback to the wall of the building measures 8.2m as a minimum, reducing the
          bulk of the building built to the rear of the site. The balcony element is the only
          element exceeding the setback which provides variation and articulation within the
          rear elevation.
         The setback of the third storey does not obstruct views from adjoining uses.
         The setback is not seen as out of character for the area and maintains the 6m
          setback for the entire rear boundary accommodating the angled rear boundary.
         The setbacks proposed does not prevent the provision of landscaping or impact on
          national parks, waterways or wetlands.


5.2.3 Height
AO5.1 of the High Density Residential Zone Code prescribes a building height of 15m where
fronting onto Serenity Close, Noosa Heads or 12m on any other site. The subject site does
not have frontage to Serenity Close and therefore has a building height of 12 metres.

The proposed building height aligns with AO5.1 in providing a building height which is less
than 12m in height.

The building presents as three storeys from the street but it is noted that the slope of the
site partially obscures the ground level from view. The bulk and scale of the building form
is consistent within the street where a number of examples of three and four storey
building forms are identified on the eastern side of Elanda Street. The building therefore
complements the character of the street and maintains the existing characteristics of the
coastal location.
