                      4. PLANNING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS

               4.1   Planning Scheme Issues
          19   With respect fo the scope of this report | consider that the following planning scheme provisions
               are relevant to this development of the jetty:
                   a) Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Detached Housing Zone;
                   b) The Infrastructure Uses Code; and
                   c) Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 4 - Domestic Marine Uses Outside of Noosa Waters Estate.
                      A copy of these provisions is at Appendix 3.
O              4.2   The Detached Housing Zone
          20   There is only one Specific Outcome which Is relevant to this application and this report as follows:
                “Q27 Buildings and Structures:
                   a) are atascale and nature complementary and respectful to their surroundings;
                   b) maintain the visual amenity of adjoining and surrounding development;
                   c) are designed to address the street and contribute positively to the streetscape character;
                   qd) are not visually dominated by garages or carports;
                   e) orientate front doors, feature window and roof treatment towards the street.”

          2)    Of the above only (a) and (b) are relevant. The only Probable Solution is not relevant because it
                deals only with the main entrances of buildings.

                   a). consider that the scale and nature of the proposed development are complementary
 oO                    and respectful to the surroundings for the reasons outlined below and elsewhere in this
                       report. The scale of the house and its surrounding built form are quite large, and are urban
                       in character. Other houses nearby are similarly large in scale for detached houses. Even
                       larger scaled buildings are visible and close by. These include the Sheraton, the bridge.    ;
                       and the Sheraton jetty. The scale of the jetty is in keeping with larger scaled buildings.  .
                       Additionally, it is an active stretch of the river. The nature of the design is symmetrical to we
                       reflect the symmetrical nature of the house. If one of the stairs which link the walkway to *
                       the pontoon was to be removed from the proposal, the asymmetrical result would not
                       complement either the scale or the symmetry of the house. Similarly, the removal of the
                       regatta steps from the proposal, would result in a development which was not of an
                       appropriate scale. The nature of the design also conforms to the horizontal elements of
                       the house. | do not consider that in this case a policy compliant 5 metre x 3 metre pontoon ‘
                       which was connected to the shoreline by a narrow ramped gangway would provide a         -  a
                                                                                                                  we
