PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                8 MAY 2018




                     Figure 12: Part basement plan for building 4B – POSCWP encroachment


The proposal seeks to vary the 6 metre setback to the rear POSCWP by intruding into the
setback between 969mm and 1.28 metres. This relates to a small section of the basement which
protrudes above the ground. Predominantly the proposal accords with the rear setback
requirement and will not result in the removal of vegetation. The variation does not cause conflict
with the bushfire requirements. The setbacks are considered to meet the Specific Outcomes of
the Noosa Heads Locality Code and will not negatively impact upon the streetscape of Serenity
Close or adjoining properties.
5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to make changes to the form of the development with the number of
dwellings and the density remaining the same as the original approval. Whilst the proposed
changes result in minor variation to the roof pitch, change to the area of roof which encroaches
above the 15 metre height limit, and minor variations to existing setback variations, the
development remains generally consistent with the existing approval. No concerns are raised
with respect to the reduced setbacks or the building height which is consistent with previous
approvals for the sites and approved development on an adjoining allotment. The proposed
buildings are setback in accordance with the conditions of the lot reconfiguration from the Private
Open Space area with the exception of a small area of basement on Lot 8. There are no issues
with regards to Gross Floor Area and Site Cover.
It is therefore recommended that the application be approved.
