               Performance Outcome, PO19 seeks:

               PO19 Buildings and other structures:
               (a) provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic amenity
                   of adjoining and nearby properties;
               (b) allow space for required vehicle parking;
               (c) preserve existing vegetation to buffer the building;
               (d) allow for soft landscaping between buildings;
               (e) avoid large areas of continuous wall planes by varying the building setbacks and using
                   appropriate techniques to provide visual relief; and
               (f) help protect the natural character and visual amenity of the Noosa River system and other
                   watercourses where relevant.
               A minor variation is required to the frontage of the southern building, generally relating to the eaves
               which encroach into the required 6 metre setback. The related front boundary is adjacent to the
               18-metre wide road reserve of ‘New Road 1” which includes a 5-metre vegetated buffer along the
               shared boundary with Dianella Court residents. This design assists in preserving amenity for
               adjoining properties. The minor variation is considered reasonable as it will not detrimentally affect
               the streetscape or surrounding properties.
               The reduced setback to the southern boundary (“New Road 2”) is considered acceptable as the
               adjoining reserve will function as a service road to the cemetery. It will be appropriately landscaped
               and the site’s frontage to the new road will effectively function as a side or rear boundary.
               The development upholds the Performance Outcome objectives.
               4.3.4 Car Parking
               Acceptable Outcome AO14 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code seeks:
               AO14 Car parking is provided in accordance with Table 9.4.1.4 in the Driveways and Parking Code
