    mapped ‘Building/yard envelopes’ and ‘Natural vegetation in lots to remain untouched’ on the
    approved plan. A copy of the Marcus Dunes Plan of Development is contained in Attachment 1 for
    reference.

    The Dwelling House maintains a built form generally consistent with the Development Parameters
    within the Plan of Development.

    The front balcony extension is a continuation of the existing third storey envelope and maintains a
    roof form and pitch consistent with the existing. In addition, the topography of the site falls away
    from the street and the existing garage on ground level already contributes a partial third storey.
    Based on the above, the proposed balcony will not be identifiable from the streetscape, will not add
    significant bulk and scale to the building and will maintain a positive contribution to the streetscape.

    Extensive landscaping to the rear obstructs view of the Marcus Dunes Estate when viewed from
    David Low Way.

    Noosa Plan 2020

    A review of the relevant assessment benchmarks is provided in Attachment 3 for reference. From
    our review, the proposal is generally compliant with the Low Density Residential Zone Code and
    the Low Density Housing Code.

    The proposed front balcony extension contributes to a third storey and seeks a performance
    solution against PO7 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code as follows:

    The dwelling presentation to the street is not significantly changed , with the garage forming a
    partial third storey due to the site’s topography. The extensions continue the existing built form
    with a consistent roof pitch and does not add to the gross floor area, which remains at 360m² in
    compliance with the Plan of Development.

    The extensions do not exceed 8m in height and will therefore not overshadow adjoining dwellings.
    The deck is set back 8.5m from the southern boundary and 4.3m from the northern boundary
    which will reduce opportunities for overlooking.

    We note extensive rear landscaping obstructs views from David Low Way.

    The proposed rear rooftop terrace seeks a performance solution against PO16 of the Low Density
    Residential Zone Code as follows:

    Whilst we acknowledge the rear balcony is technically a rooftop terrace it is important to note that it
    is directly accessible from the adjacent habitable rooms and is not a standalone structure on a
    rooftop and therefore, it presents more as a balcony.

    The proposed rooftop terrace is oriented toward the rear of the Dwelling House and will not be
    visible from the streetscape. It maintains an open form and will therefore not create and
    overbearing structure. Access to natural sunlight and breezes will be maintained for adjoining
    dwellings. In addition, the terrace is setback 5.8m from the southern boundary and 7.8m from the
    northern boundary and there is extensive landscaping to reduce overlooking. On this basis there
    will be no overlooking and overshadowing and thus residential amenity and privacy is maintained.
