Issue - length of wall greater than 20 metres
AO12.2 of the Low density residential zone code states that a wall greater than 5 metres in
height is no more than 20 metres in length. The proposed southern wall appears to exceeds
this requirement.




Information Required
5.   Amend the southern elevation to more successfully respond to PO12 by avoiding large
     continuous wall planes and elevations. This may include introducing physical breaks in
     the length of the wall and or indentations to provide greater articulation to the upper floor
     to ensure a more sympathetic residential building presentation results.
     Based on the current design, there are setback restrictions for any substantial landscaping
     to grow along the side boundary which would exacerbate the presentation of the southern
     elevation to adjoining premises.


Issue - Building Height in metres
Council have concerns that the dwelling exceeds 8.0 metres and conflicts with AO7.1 of the
Low Density Residential zone code.
The submitted documentation does not provide sufficient information to demonstrate the
proposed building height. It is unclear how the ground level and subsequent building height
has been determined. From Council’s preliminary assessment the building height appears to
exceed 8.0 metres above ground level and is not supported.
Information Required
6.   Provide amended and/or additional plans, including:
     (a) Confirm the Ground Level as defined under Noosa plan 2020;
     (b) Update elevations and Section Plans showing the Dwelling at the highest point from
         ground level, with all height measurements shown in RL’s relevant back to a ground
         level and a maximum building height blanket at 8.0 metres above ground level clearly
         showing any height exceedance;
     (c) Based on the above assessment amend the design to reduce the height to comply
         AO7.1 of the Low Density Residential zone code.


Issue - Coastal protection and scenic amenity overlay
The site is contained within the above overlay and does not include sufficient information
detailing the landscaping and proposed vegetation within the 5.0 metre seaward rear boundary
as required under AO5 of the Code.
Information Required
7.   Provide a landscape plan which incorporates the mix of landscaping as required under A
     05. The proposed planting is to be shown for the 5 metre rear seaward boundary of the
     site.
