5. CONCLUSION
The development proposal is considered to be consistent with the character of the area with the dwelling
stepping down the site and incorporating design elements that respect the character of the area and the
difficult topography of the site. The building will sits into the site and will not detrimentally impact on the
locality.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as previously detailed. These grounds include:
                  The proposed dwelling respects the topography of the site by stepping down the
                   steep slope;
                  The dwelling presents as a one storey building to Arakoon Crescent;
                  The proposed dwelling is consistent with the character of the area which includes
                   substantial dwellings built to the boundary and cantilevering over the coastal
                   building line;
                  The contemporary design utilises the slope of the land as well as large cantilevered
                   decks to minimise impacts of the building on the surrounding area.
                  The building will be shielded from adjoining properties by existing and proposed
                   fences that follow the natural slope of the site.
                  The proposed garage location is consistent with the character of the street and
                   provides an well-articulated façade to Arakoon Crescent; and
                  The proposed form of the design is consistent the scale of development that has
                   occurred in the surrounding area.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further
information and/or clarification with respect to the above application.
