S4.1

Buildings and other structures have a maximum height of —
a) if in the Attached Housing Zone and located in Sunshine Beach—12m;
b) if in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone—12m, except for Lots 75-77 Heron Street, Peregian Beach—8m;
c) if in the Open Space Recreation Zone or the Community Services Zone and used for an indoor
     sporting complex—11m;
d) if in the Rural Settlement Zone—8m, or 9m where the pitched roof but no other part of the
     building or structure exceeds 8m; or
e) in all other zones— 8m.

Response:

The site is not located in a zone listed in (a) to (d). As such the acceptable solution height is
8m. The proposed dwelling slightly exceeds 8m above ground level; therefore a performance
outcome is requested. It is considered that the minor non-compliance is negligible, given that
the portion exceeding 8m in height relates to a minor roofline, with the rest of the house
remaining under 8m. The roofline is also located at the rear of the site and not visible from
the street; therefore the proposed dwelling height will not result in a dominating built form that
overshadows surrounding houses. Further, a previous approval over the site was granted for
a house that also exceeded 8m above ground level, similar to that proposed. The extent of
which can be viewed in the Proposal Plans in Appendix A.

d) allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings and street frontages and between

     and
f) protect the natural character and visual amenity of the beachfront.
