5.2.1     ZONING

The subject site is zoned as medium density residential. The purpose of the zone is to provide for
medium density multiple dwellings, community uses and a limited number services required to
support local needs.

The proposed development is consistent with the overall outcomes sought by the code as the
development is:

         For medium density residential purposes intended for permanent residents
         Makes a positive contribution to the neighbourhood by maintaining the low-rise character
          and consisting of high-quality contemporary buildings with building articulation and
          variation in building materials
         Incorporates native landscape treatments that enhance the streetscape along Eumundi
          Noosa Rd
         Provides a mix of housing types by including 2 and 3 bedroom dwellings (including small
          dwellings) and accessibility provisions for those with reduced mobility
         Maintains and retains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic, noise and
          lighting
         Responds to the site’s constraints and topography
         Enhanced by landscaping between buildings and through-out the development site and
          along the site’s frontage.

An assessment against the codes has been undertaken and is attached to this report as Appendix D.
The code assessment has determined that the proposed development generally complies with all
the relevant performance outcomes of the code.


5.2.2     LOCAL PLAN

The subject site is located in the Noosaville Local Plan area. The local plan seeks to provide locally
relevant provisions for the assessment of development within the local plan area. The proposed
development achieves the overall outcomes of the Noosaville Local Plan Code by:

         Providing a contemporary architecturally designed development to complement
          Noosaville’s vibrant urban setting
         Protecting and reinforcing Noosaville’s character and identity through its sub-tropical
          design and landscape outcomes
         Incorporating generous landscaping throughout the site consisting of native and endemic
          species, which enhances the site’s visual appearance particularly when viewed from
          Eumundi Noosa Rd
         Providing a diversity of housing choices by including multiple dwelling units and small
          dwellings.

A full assessment against the relevant benchmarks is provided within Appendix D. The assessment
has determined that the development complies with all the relevant performance outcomes sought
by the code.
