Town Planning Report

       Schedule 1 identifies a minimum front boundary setback for the Detached Housing Zone as 6m. The
       proposed house is setback a minimum 6m from the front boundary; however the garage is located a
       minimum 2.2m away from the font boundary. As such, a Performance Outcome is requested. It is
       considered that the proposed garage location will not result in adverse impacts on surrounding
       properties based on the following:
        The proposed garage is single storey and will not dominate the street frontage of the site;
        The bulk and scale of the proposed dwelling is consistent with surrounding developments;
        The proposed setback is consistent with existing dwelling setbacks along Seaview Terrace,
           particularly to the north of the site; and,
        The proposed front boundary setback is generally in accordance with the previously approved
           dwelling on the subject site.

       Schedule 1 also specifies a minimum side boundary setback of 2m plus 0.5m for every 3m or part
       thereof above 7.5m height. Therefore the required setback is 2.5m. The proposed side boundary
       setbacks are 1.5m from the northern boundary and 2.2m from the southern boundary. Therefore a
       performance outcome is also requested. It is considered that proposed setbacks will not impact on
       the amenity of adjoining dwellings on the following basis:
        The proposed setbacks are generally in accordance with those previously approved on-site as
            part of development application MCU12/0159.
        The 1.5m setback relates solely to the proposed rumpus room, the remaining portion of the
            house is setback a minimum of 2.4m from the northern boundary.
        Sufficient screening trees will be provided in order to maintain privacy between adjoining
            properties and the proposed dwelling in accordance with the appended Landscape Concept
            Plan.

       O28

       Garages and carports are designed and sited to visually integrate with the building and avoid
       dominating the street.

       S28.1

       Garages and carports—
       a) have a front boundary setback of at least 6m; and
       b) adopt a roof form and building style similar to that of the building; and
       c) present a minimum width to the streetscape (the total width of garage doors is no more than 6m
           or 50% of the frontage width, whichever is the lesser, where the structure faces the street); or
       d) that are visible from, but do not face the street, include windows or other articulation and have a
           6m landscaped buffer between the structure and the road frontage.

       Response:

       The proposed garage is located a minimum 2.2m away from the font boundary. As such, a
       Performance Outcome is requested. It is considered that the proposed garage location will not result
       in adverse impacts on surrounding properties based on the following:
        The proposed garage is single storey and will not dominate the street frontage of the site;
        The proposed setback is consistent with existing dwelling setbacks along Seaview Terrace,
            particularly to the north of the site;
        The roof form of the garage is of a similar style to surrounding developments; and,
        Will not exceed 6m in width.
        The proposed garage setback is generally in accordance with the previously approved dwelling
            over the subject site (Noosa Council Reference MCU12/0159).
