Planning Statement to NSC

         f) avoid any significant adverse impacts on the natural values of waterways and their
         foreshores, including those of the Noosa River and its lakes; and

         Proposal consistent with dwellings located in the area.

         g)do not interrupt the natural cycles of erosion and accretion of waterways and foreshore

Building Height

The assessment table for the Attached Housing zone of the Eastern Beaches Locality details that
the dwelling is required to be assessed against the provisions of the Detached Hose Code. The
Detached House Code details a maximum building height of 8 metres and two storeys for a
detached house however also details a maximum building height of 12 metres and three storeys
for duplex or unit developments.

The applicant has chosen not to develop the site for a duplex and wishes to construct a single
dwelling on the site. Noting that the site could be used for a greater development in the form of a
duplex and that the sites to the north and opposite the site contain unit developments the applicant
seeks to construct a detached house that is 3 storeys and 12 metres in height.

The proposal is considered to comply with the Specific Outcomes of Detached House Code in
relation to height as detailed below:

      site. The building only presents as two storeys to Park Crescent.
