S8.1

The maximum building height in metres and storeys is—
a) if in the Visitor Mixed Use Zone – 12m (but not exceeding 3 storeys); or
b) if in the Noosa Heads Locality, Attached Housing Zone –
   i.      Lot 4 on SP 100064 in Serenity Close Noosa Heads – 15m (but not exceeding 4 storeys);
  ii.      ii) Otherwise – 12m (but not exceeding 3 storeys);
c) if in the Noosaville Locality and the Attached Housing Zone and with frontage to the following
      streets: - Russell St, William St and Howard St, or Weyba Rd, James St and Albert St north of
      their intersections with Elizabeth St (as well as properties fronting Gympie Terrace or Noosa
      Parade between Weyba Road and Russell Street)–12m (but not exceeding 3 storeys);
d) if in the Rural Zone or Rural Settlement Zone – 8m or 9m where the pitched roof, but no other
      part of the building or structure, exceeds 8m (but not exceeding 2 storeys either way); or
e) otherwise –8m (but not exceeding 2 storeys).

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, the extent of which can be viewed in the
Proposal Plans in Appendix A.

Within the Detached Housing, Semi-Attached Housing, Attached Housing and Visitor Mixed Use
Zones, garages, carports and other class 10a structures are designed and sited to visually integrate
with the dwelling unit and avoid dominating the street by—
a) minimising the width of the structure; and
b) minimising projection of the structure forward of the main face of dwelling unit.
