            Code (the ‘QDC’) MP1.2, this is further stated in accepted outcome AO9.4, which provides
            similar requirements for lesser building setbacks to side and rear boundaries.

            Information Required
                 10. Provide amended plans which only include built to boundary setbacks where such
                     setbacks can meet the requirements prescribed in QDC MP1.2.

RESPONSE
Refer to the enclosed amended plans prepared by DCM (Attachment 1). The Ground Floor has been revised to
ensure the southern external wall is setback 2.0m from the side boundary. The proposed maximum height, mean
height and total length of the built to boundary wall is compliant with QDC MP1.2.



            ITEM – COASTAL PROTECTION SETBACK (REAR BOUNDARY)
            The proposed development includes a swimming pool (structure) which is primarily within
            the rear 6m setback. Performance Outcome PO4 states.

            Where a coastal building line does not exist on a lot fronting the beachfront or a reserve
            adjoining the beachfront, new buildings and structures are setback no less than 6 metres
            from the seaward boundary of the site.

            The application material only references the ‘building’ in its response to PO4.

            Information Required
                 11. Provide amended plans which relocate the proposed swimming pool outside of the
                     6 metre setback from the seaward (rear) boundary to comply with PO4.

RESPONSE
It is acknowledged that the proposed pool is considered a “structure” and therefore technically PO4
of the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code is not met. Despite this, it is evident that
the siting and design of the pool will have no adverse effect on the overall outcomes sought by the
Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code. It is relevant to consider that the subject site
currently includes above-ground built structures within the 6m rear setback and removal of these
structures could be considered an improved outcome. Further, most of the residential developments
along the eastern side of Shearwater Steet and nearby Lorikeet Drive and Plover Street include above-
ground built structures within this preferred 6m setback.

The overall outcomes sought by the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code are:

     (a) Development allows for natural processes of erosion and accretion to occur naturally,
         including as a result of sea level rise.
     (b) Development ensures landforms, creeks, dunes, vegetation and biodiversity in coastal
         areas are not impacted by development to mitigate coastal hazard risks and to protect
         environmental values; and
     (c) Development is designed and sited to protect the visual character and scenic amenity of the
         Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Area and to integrate with the surrounding natural
         landscape and skyline vegetation.
