The small encroachments do not unreasonably obstruct views of adjoining or nearby properties,
while the decks and overhangs orientated to the north are designed to provide a high level of
amenity to users of the subject site. Adequate space is provided within the building setback to help
buffer the development at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living and
utilities. This enhances the landscaping within the area and enhances landscaping character of the
surrounding area, consistent with the Performance Outcomes of the High-Density Residential zone
code.

4.5 Works Codes
SCG Engineers include preliminary earthworks, stormwater and traffic turning plans in accordance
with the relevant works codes. Stormwater treatment methods seek the removal of water
contaminants of the building and driveways, as well as allowing provision for rainwater tanks to be
incorporated into the design.

Existing trees are to be retained within the road reserve and new coastal tree species planted every
8m to complement the built form. The vegetation will be appropriately chosen not to interfere with
overhead powerlines and underground services in accordance with the Landscaping code.

5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part.

Development in the erosion prone area, as shown on the SPP interactive mapping system, will be
subject to assessment against the assessment benchmarks – natural hazards, risk and resilience
within the State Planning Policy. An assessment is provided below.

                             located away from the coast so as to not cause a risk to people and
