       Building Scale and Bulk
           PO10
           Development:

             1. is of a scale compatible with surrounding development and the particular circumstances
                of the site; and
             2. does not present an appearance of bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas in
                the vicinity of the site.

The existing two units on Lot 30 are proposed to be demolished and replaced with one new dwelling
unit that has a slightly larger building footprint and an additional floor level. Council has approved an
additional floor level as part of the redevelopment of unit 15 and renovation of unit 17 and the
proposed fourth floor is therefore compatible with the built form on site and the Planning Scheme.
Figure 3 above illustrates that the additional fourth storey is compatible with the existing form of
development on site.

The new building is considered to be compatible with the surrounding development which includes
large unit developments such as the Sebel Noosa to the east which forms a backdrop to The
Hastings development as illustrated by figure 7 below. This image illustrates how close the existing
units are located and how the staggering presents a substantial built form to the internal area of the
site.

The proposed building is located along the southern boundary of Lot 30 and as demonstrated in
Figure 8 below presents a similar façade width to the internal driveway of the complex as the existing
unit. The built form is considered to meet the desired outcome.
