The subject site is located within the Open Space Recreation Zone of the
Cooroy and Lake Locality. Probable Solution S7.1 of the code seeks for
development within the Open Space Recreation Zone to have a maximum
height of 8m. While the proposed development would exceed 8m by 850mm
at its maximum point, the development would achieve Specific Outcome O7
of the code for the following reasons:-
    • Each building remains a low rise structure and presents a height that is
        consistent with the height of the 2 storey unit building on the adjoining
        land to the east and other 2 storey dwellings present throughout the
        streetscape (notably 14 Opal Street and 64 Kauri Street).
    • The development maintains a maximum height of 2 storeys.
    • The dwellings do not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces
        or the skyline as only a small portion along the ridgeline of three of the
        buildings exceeds 8m in height. Further, the development comprises of
        a variety of reclaimed weatherboard dwellings that have a small
        footprint, are well articulated, and consistent with the traditional
        character of Cooroy. The steeply pitched traditional roof are a
        contributing factor to the development being over-height, however
        are sympathetic to the desired local character of the area.
    • The over-height portions of the ridgelines occur centrally within the
        footprint of the buildings and would not impact on the privacy,
        amenity or sunlight received by the adjoining properties.
    • The development did not involve excessive filling, however, was
        required to be raised by approximately 1m for stormwater drainage
        purposes, which is another factor contributing to the over-height
        portions of the development.

Overall, a review of the planning scheme has determined that the proposed
changes do not result in any significant issues against the outcomes of the
relevant codes.

It is therefore requested that Condition 4 of the development approval be
changed as follows.

       Building Height

4.     The maximum height of the development must not exceed 8 8.9
       metres above the finished ground level and the natural ground level.


4. CONCLUSION

This report identifies that the proposed development constitutes a minor
change and does not raise any significant issues against the current Noosa
Plan. Subsequently it is requested that Council make the change and issue a
changed approval.
