        Short-term accommodation situated at 29 Ferguson St Sunshine Beach and:
        A.   Refuse to delete condition 3 for the following reasons:
             1.     The proposed maximum 2 metre variation to the front setback is not
                    consistent with PO12 and PO14 of the Medium Density Residential Zone
                    Code as:
                    a.    It is not consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding
                          area.
                    b.    It has a form and architectural scale that dominates the streetscape.
        B.   Agree to amend condition 3 to read as follows:
             3.     The building must be setback a minimum of 6m from the front boundary to
                    Ferguson Street except for the roofed which may be setback 4m or the same
                    as the roof of the existing building as validated by survey by a registered
                    surveyor, whichever is the greater. A copy of the survey plan identifying the
                    setback of the existing building roof must be provided to Council prior to
                    commencing construction. terrace which may be setback 5 metres from the
                    front boundary.
        C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
             2016.
        D.   That Council support this relaxation of front setback based on the following
             grounds:
             a.     The setback will be no worse than that which currently exists.
             b.     The design is consistent with Strategic Outcome 3.3.1 (f) in that the
                    “Development is designed to suit the subtropical climate; to incorporating
                    materials that are recycled or have low levels of embodied energy; and to be
                    energy, water and waste efficient.”
             c.     The proposal is not inconsistent with the built form and character of the street
                    that features a range of built form within the front 6m setback.
