9.3.3 Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
9.3.3.1 Application
This code applies to acceptable development which is subject to requirements and to assessable development identified as requiring
assessment against the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
9.3.3.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
(1) The purpose of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code is to ensure dual occupancy and multiple dwellings are of a high
quality design which appropriately respond to local character, environment and amenity considerations.
(2) The overall outcomes sought for dual occupancies and multiple dwellings are as follows:
(a) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings occur only on land that is suited to the development and occupation of residential
buildings.
(b) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings have attractive built form which addresses the street and integrates with
surrounding development.
(c) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings are consistent with the developed character of the particular neighbourhood and
Local Plan area.
(d) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings provide a high standard of privacy and amenity for residents.
(e) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings incorporate building design that responds to Noosa Shire’s subtropical climate,
taking advantage of natural climatic conditions.
(f) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings are designed to provide for safe, secure and comfortable homes for people with
different needs through all stages of life.
(g) Dual occupancies and multiple dwellings incorporate high quality landscapes and well designed and useable communal
and private open space areas that provide visual relief to the built form.
FOR ACCEPTED DEVELOPMENT
The requirements for acceptable development are the acceptable outcomes listed in the Table of Assessment. Accepted
development that complies with all the acceptable solutions is considered to satisfy the requirements. If development complies
with some, but not all, acceptable outcomes, an application for Code Assessment will be necessary and the application will be
assessed against the relevant Performance Outcome(s).
FOR ASSESSABLE DEVELOPMENT
Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
