4, CONCLUSION

The development proposal is considered to represent an appropriate functional extension to an existing
residential development, which respects the characteristics of the site, integrates well with the nature and
form of the existing structure, incorporates varying design elements to create visual interest and allows a
significant amount of existing vegetation to be retained within the site.

As such, the proposed extensions to the existing Detached House are considered to maintain the existing
settlement pattern of the street and contribute to the existing character of the Sunshine Beach locality.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as previously detailed. These grounds include:

The proposed extensions are able to comply with all planning scheme requirements
other than for the front setback;

The proposed extensions will result in improved siting of enclosed car parking areas
within the frontage of the site;

The proposed new roof lines integrate well with the stepped design which reduces
the bulk appearance of the building from the street frontage and complies with
requirements for height;

The proposed extensions improve the amenity of the existing Detached House by
increasing the area available for garaging vehicles, increasing the area of the
laundry and creating an identifiable entrance to the dwelling;

The proposed extensions will enhance the function of the existing Detached House
and compliment the horizontal and vertical articulation of the structure;

The proposed extensions maximise the retention of existing vegetation within the
site and maintains the privacy of adjoining residences; and

The proposed design is consistent with the style and appearance of adjoining
architecturally designed Detached Housing and incorporates characteristics which
are typical of the Sunshine Beach locality.

The Assessment Manager's favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended. Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or
clarification with respect to the above application.

Yours sincerely
