 6. Setbacks
The proposed changes closely align with the setbacks of the existing villa. The Noosa Plan
2020 does not include an alternative provision to the QDC for side and rear setbacks and
therefore the QDC applies. Both the superseded Planning Scheme and the Noosa Plan 2020
seek appropriate separation between buildings to maintain or improve privacy and amenity.
It is determined that sufficient separation is provided, and the following design elements
demonstrate the design has resulted in no new impacts, maximised privacy and amenity and
a non-worsening of shading—
•    High line and slimline windows are proposed to the northern and western elevations;
•    Orientation of building to the south and east away from adjoining neighbours;
•    Availability for deep landscaping around the building;
•    The proposed changes still maintain appropriate setback to the western boundary;
The site adjoins lot 13 to the north, which has been designed to step back away from the
internal road. This results in the main bulk of the buildings living areas located away from the
adjoining building.

The proposal provides good separation between buildings and amenity in terms of privacy,
shading and noise with the orientation away from adjoining buildings.
