The application has been submitted to the Noosa Council as the assessment manager under the Sustainable
Planning Act 2009, and does not require referral to any other agency. This application seeks a change to an
existing approval dated 20 October 2011 wherein the roof top pergola structure was required to be of open
construction and comprise lightweight materials. The applicant seeks approval to provide a solid roof to the
roof terrace pergola to enhance the utility of the area.

The proposed development at 33 Hastings St is for a consistent use which is Code Assessable. This planning
reports demonstrate compliance with the applicable State and Local Planning instruments.

Section 8 of the Planning Report specifically addresses and provides assessment of the proposal and has
determined that the proposal generally complies and is consistent with all probable solutions and specific
outcomes. The report provides reasonable grounds for the relaxation of the specific outcome with respect to
the height of a building in storeys. Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution
demonstrating compliance with the specific outcome is provided, this includes sufficient planning grounds to
justify the conflicts with the probable solutions.

Detailed survey and architectural work undertaken demonstrates that the addition of Colourbond roofing to
the approved pergola is consistent with the specific outcomes of the Noosa Plan in that it,

        presents a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and surrounding land;
        does not change the existing height of the building within 7m of the Hastings St alignment nor the
         presentation to the beach, which is below 12m from natural ground level;
        maintains a maximum height across balance area of site below the permissible 15m;
        results in a building scale that is compatible with surrounding development;
        does not present an appearance of excessive bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas in the
         vicinity of the site;
        improves the roof form in a way that
        o contributes positively to the local skyline;
        o complements the character of the locality;
        o uses soft and articulated, pitched, skillion or curved roof forms; and
        o does not create opportunities for residents to overlook the private open space areas of
           neighbouring properties; and
        is designed in a manner so that there is unlikely to be any adverse impact on the amenity enjoyed by
         residents and visitors, including impacts associated with—
             o visual and acoustic privacy;
             o safety and security; and
             o lighting

Approval of proposed amendment of Condition 3 to amend wording to allow a solid roof over the approved
pergola in accordance with design drawings provided is therefore recommended.
