               Rooftop Terrace - POD
               The Plan of Development refers to a maximum of 3 levels, 2 storeys, this avails the opportunity for
               a terrace to form part of the built form a dwelling. Based off aerial imagery there are several
               examples within the Estate.

               Rooftop Terrace – Noosa Plan 2020
               AO16.2 Development does not include rooftop terraces.
               The upper level of the development includes a rooftop terrace and therefore is to be assessed
               against the corresponding Performance Outcome to determine the suitability of the terrace within
               context of the site.
               PO16 Roof designs:
                    a. contribute positively to the character of the streetscape;
                    b. incorporate eaves and roof overhangs;
                    c. avoid boxy elevations on the front facade of the building;
                    d. do not present an appearance of excessive bulk to the street or neighbouring properties;
                    e. do not create opportunities for residents or building users to overlook the private open
                       space or view into habitable windows or doors of neighbouring properties.
               The terrace has been designed to incorporate both fixed and soft landscaping treatments to
               appropriately screen adjoining residences and complement the built form. On inspection of the site,
               greater understanding of the crossfall and built form of adjoining premises, the terrace is well
               embedded into the built form of the dwelling and upholds the privacy of adjoining residences.
               However, as previously noted in relation to the development’s total floor area, the terrace
               contributes to the building’s perceived massing. There is scope to reduce its extent along the
               remainder of the building to achieve a more balanced appearance and lessen the sense of visual
               bulk.
