                                                 Figure 12 – Birdseye View POD Calc

               While the lower level is partially backfilled, as it does not meet the building height in storeys
               definition, as the level is not 1.2 metres or more below both the natural ground level on the
               appointed day and the finished ground level it shall not count as a storey, the entirety of the lower
               level is nominated as contributing to site cover from a birds eye view perspective. This is generally
               consistent with the current scheme version site cover interpretation (aside from the requirement of
               the lower level to be set 1.2 metre below natural ground level, whereas the current refers to 1 metre
               and exclusively used for parking and manoeuvring).
               Site Cover – Noosa Plan 2020
               It is noted weight can be given to the provisions and administrative terms with the planning scheme
               in effect at the time of lodgement, being the Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
               The development does not meet Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 of the Low Density Residential Code.
               AO8.1 Site cover of all buildings and structures on site does not exceed:
                    a)for a single storey building – 50%;
                    b)for a building of 2 storeys –
                        i.  50% for one of the storeys; and
                       ii.  30% for the other storey; or
                    c) 40% for both storeys. Editor's note—refer to Figure AP39
               The applicant seeks approval for the following site coverage:
                    • Lower level – 41.8%
                    • Middle level – 40%
                    • Upper level – 19.8%
               And, achieves a total site coverage of 46% from bird’s eye view.
               Therefore, the application is to be assessed against the corresponding Performance Outcome.
               PO8 Development:
                    a) is of a scale compatible with surrounding development and
                       the particular circumstances of the site;

                                                                                                    Page 10 of 16
