9.4.6              Sustainable Building Design Code

9.4.6.1            Application
(1)   This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Sustainable Building Design Code
      by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
(2)   All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.
Editor's Note—The Sustainable Building Design Code identifies a range of sustainable design criteria. Development is encouraged to achieve the
highest practicable score using an accredited sustainability rating system.
Editor's Note—Acceptable outcomes AO1.1, AO1.2, AO1.3, AO2.1 and AO2.2 are in addition to any sustainability rating system value achieved by the
development.


9.4.6.2            Purpose and Overall Outcomes
(1)   The purpose of the Sustainable building design code is to ensure:
      (a)    development is sustainable with minimal environmental impact and maximum human comfort;
      (b)    development conserves resources and materials and designs buildings that work with their natural environment and not
             against them;
      (c)    buildings are resilient and resource efficient and incorporate sustainable building design that responds to Noosa
             Shire’s sub­tropical climate;
      (d)    building design minimises energy and water use and reuses stormwater for non­potable purposes and provides
             comfortable, healthy work and living environments; and
      (e)    buildings are cost effective to operate.
(2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Sustainable building design code are:
      (a)    Development is located, designed, constructed and operated in accordance with best sustainable design principles.
      (b)    Development responds to the site’s topography, orientation, prevailing winds and existing vegetation.
      (c)    Development incorporates water sensitive urban design principles to manage stormwater.
      (d)    Development includes passive design elements to respond to the local climate.
      (e)    Development minimises the reliance on non­renewable resources.
      (f)    Buildings are designed and constructed to be energy and water efficient.
      (g)    Development includes operational initiatives for energy efficiency.
      (h)    Existing vegetation is retained where possible and creates shade and cooling on site.
      (i)    Stormwater is collected and used on site for non­potable purposes of gardening, toilet flushing, laundry and hot water
             supply uses.
      (j)    Healthy indoor environments are provided by incorporating the use of low toxic materials, natural light and cross
             ventilation.
