maximum width of 6m, but the design is still considered to satisfy the overarching
Specific Outcome, O17, for the following reasons:

           the garage has been designed to integrate with the overall
           architectural appearance of the dwelling;

           the garage is setback behind the line of entrance to the dwelling
           and the garages on the adjoining properties;

           there is landscaping proposed on either side of the driveway which
           will reduce the visual impact of the garage from the street; and

           there are examples of similar sized garages at 54 and 60 Seaview
           Terrace.

Overall, it is considered that the proposed garage is consistent with the
prevailing character of Seaview Terrace and will not therefore have an adverse
impact on its streetscape.

4.3.5.2 Natural Resources Overlay Code
 The proposal has been assessed against those sections of this code that relate
to the coastal protection area. The proposal is considered to comply with the
Code for the following key reasons:

           the layout provides sufficient space to provide a 5m landscape
           buffer to the rear property boundary. This buffer will protect both the
           dunal system and the character of the beachfront; and

           the proposed dwelling does not extend seaward of the building line
           established by the adjoining properties and is consistent with that
           previously approved on the site by the former Noosa Council in 2005.



5.0    Summary & Conclusions
This application seeks approval for a development permit for a detached
dwelling at lot 64 on RP81810. The application triggers a code assessable
material change of use application given its location in the coastal protection
zone. The proposal has been assessed against the Noosa Plan 2006 and it is
concluded that the proposed development complies with the relevant Planning
Scheme provisions. On this basis, it is considered that the proposal warrants
Council’s support and should be approved subject to reasonable and relevant
conditions
