As demonstrated above, the proposal will comply with the relevant development
parameters contained within the Noosa Plan 2006 except for sides setbacks. The
non-compliance with the probable solutions of the code is addressed against the
specific outcome below.

Please refer to Appendix B for a detailed assessment of the proposal against the
Probable Solutions and above-mentioned codes.


Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code

Specific Outcome O8 – Setbacks

The proposal seeks to contain all future buildings within the building envelopes
identified on the submitted Site Plan. Future buildings would therefore be allowed to
have minimum setbacks from the side boundary of 2m. Given that Schedule 1
requires Multiple Housing Type 4 developments to have setbacks of half the building
height, it is expected that the 2 storey dwelling houses will exceed a height of 4m
presenting to the boundaries and therefore not comply with the probable solution.

While not meeting the probable solution, it is considered that the development will
achieve Specific Outcome 08 of the code for the following reasons:

   •   the buildings will present maximum heights of 5m – 6m to the boundaries and
       the proposed 2m setbacks will be sufficient to ensure the building provide
       amenity for future residents of the premises and protect the amenity of the
       adjoining uses;
   •   the 2m setbacks will allow for the establishment of landscaped plantings
       along both side boundaries to provide a buffer to the adjoining uses; and
   •   the proposed setbacks are consistent with the setbacks provided for the
       adjoining multiple dwelling to the east and will therefore ensure that visual
       continuity is retained along the streetscape.


   6.2. Development Controls

Although plans for the dwellings have not been provided, the above key
development parameters have been identified on the Site Plan so that it takes the
effect of a Development Control Plan for the site. It is considered that Council could
condition that any future development to be undertaken in accordance with the
Site Plan and Development Control Provisions.
