7.4 LOCAL PLAN

The site is included within the Noosaville Local Plan Area.

An assessment of the Local Plan Code has been included within Attachment 1. The assessment
has determined that the proposed development complies with all relevant performance
outcomes of the local plan code. Where acceptable outcomes are not met compliance with the
corresponding performance outcome is discussed below.

7.4.1      PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES

AO7.1 Development takes the form of small separate buildings rather than large single bulky
buildings and does not visually dominate the street, riverfront, adjacent properties, surrounding
spaces or the existing skyline.

Performance outcome: Due to the nature of the use for an educational establishment and the
proposed building being for performing arts, it is not possible for the building to comprise a
smaller building form. However, when taken into the context of the overall site, the school has
been developed with separate building components. The proposed building is setback about
38m from the street frontage and will retain all existing frontage vegetation and as such will not
visually dominate the street or adjacent properties. The proposed development integrates with
the existing character of the site and surrounding area and will ensure protection of
neighborhood amenity. The proposal complies with performance outcome PO7 Buildings,
structures and landscaping are integrated with the natural landscape and reflect the riverside
character and setting of the local plan area in terms of form, composition and protection of
neighbourhood amenity.


7.5 ZONE CODE

The site is included within the Community Facilities Zone (6 - Educational Establishment) and is
subject to the provisions of Community Facilities Zone Code.

An assessment of the Community Facilities Zone code has been included within Attachment 1.
The assessment has determined that the proposed development complies with all relevant
performance outcomes. Where acceptable outcomes are not met, compliance with the
corresponding performance outcome is discussed below.

7.5.1      PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES

AO17.1 Within urban boundaries buildings and other structures are no more than 8 metres in
building height.

Performance outcome: The proposed building has a maximum height of 12.1 metres above
natural ground level and 11 metres above finished ground level. The increased height is
necessary due to the function of the building as a performing arts centre. The proposed height
will comply with the performance outcome as follows:
