               3.3.1 Local Plan Code
               The site is located in the Coastal Communities Local Plan area. The following overall and
               performance outcomes are most applicable to the proposed development:
               (z)    Development in Peregian Beach –
                      (iii) maintains Peregian Beach Local Centre’s ‘signature’ informal village-like atmosphere,
                            featuring a low key, attractive village square that distinguishes the Peregian Beach
                            Local Centre from other centres in the local plan area and the wider region.
                            Development and redevelopment maintains the existing strong sense of place and
                            the centre’s function and capacity to provide a public focus for local community
                            interaction and activity.
                      (iv) provides a slightly wider range of employment opportunities than other parts of the
                            local plan area due to its more distant separation from a major urban centre.
                      (v) in the Innovation zone includes the digital hub and other professional services for
                            local businesses both within and outside the local plan area as well as providing
                            employment opportunities in the digital and creative technology sectors.
               PO7
               Buildings, structures and landscaping are consistent with and reflect the beachside character of
               the local plan area in terms of form, composition and use of materials.
               AO7.1
               For residential buildings, roof form is visible from the street and not concealed behind parapets.
               AO7.2
               Buildings and structures do not include rooftop terraces.
               AO7.3
               Development uses understated colour schemes and low-reflective roofing and cladding
               materials.
               AO7.4
               Development provides for boundary setbacks to retain existing mature trees and incorporate new
               landscaping into development design.
               AO7.5
               Buildings are designed to:
                     a) suit the local subtropical climate;
                     b) incorporate a mix of lightweight and textured external building materials, including
                         timber finishes with variation provided in texture, detailing and articulation;
                     c) incorporate verandahs, open balconies with transparent or open balustrades or shaded
                         patios for outdoor living; and
                     d) allow for landscape integrated with the buildings on site.
