(o) Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands and vegetated hillslopes and
ridgelines are retained, managed and enhanced where possible.

The proposal seeks to integrate to the built structures with the sites topography with minimal cut
and fill only where necessary. Existing waterbodies have been adopted as a key asset to the
proposed dwelling house and shed and design has intentionally sought to include them into the
outcome. The applicant seeks to remediate the site with endemic landscaping to compliment the
structures in the natural setting.

(p) Development maintains and enhances the significant scenic and landscape values of the area. The
built form of development integrates with and complements the rural character intended for the
zone and sensitively responds to the landscape.

The proposal seeks to utilize the site in such a way that preserves its natural aesthetic qualities.
Given the site is relatively exclusive and development is proposed away from the road the sites
visual character is largely un-interrupted.

PO1: Land uses in the Rural zone are limited to those which are compatible with agriculture and the
protection of environmental and landscape values.

Proposal complies in that a Dwelling House is considered accepted development in the Rural Zone
where meeting or can be conditioned to meet the objectives and outcomes of the Rural Zone code.
A dwelling house is compatible with the site.

    1. are low rise;

    2. minimise the appearance of bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas in the vicinity of
        the site; and

    3. respect the scale of surrounding vegetation and maximises opportunities to retain
        existing vegetation on site.

of the single dwelling and secondary dwelling is 465m2 gross floor area as defined by the Noosa Plan
2020, the balance of the proposed gross floor area is attributed to a class 10a structure and areas
