Town Planning Report - 226 David Low Way

    i) development that is multi-storey ensures that there is no unreasonable loss of
       amenity for surrounding development having regard to:-
              i. microclimate impacts, including the extent and duration of any
                     overshadowing;
             ii. privacy and overlooking impacts;
            iii. impacts upon views and vistas; and
            iv. building massing and scale relative to its surroundings;

    j) development is designed and located in a manner which makes a positive
       contribution to the streetscape and is sympathetic to the existing and
       intended scale and character of surrounding development;

    k) development incorporates a high level of residential amenity, safety and
       design quality and is set within attractive landscaped grounds;

    l) …

    m) development is located, designed and operated to be responsive to the
       Sunshine Coast’s sub-tropical climate and minimises the consumption of
       energy and water;

    n) except where varied by a local plan code in Part 7 (Local plans), development
       provides for:-
              i. the uses listed as consistent uses in column 1 of Table 6.2.2.2.1
                    (Consistent uses and inconsistent uses in the Medium density
                    residential zone) to occur in the Medium density residential zone;
                    and
             ii. the uses listed as inconsistent uses in column 2 of Table 6.2.2.2.1 not
                    to occur in the Medium density residential zone.

61. The proposed development is located in the Medium Density Zone, and according
    to Table 6.2.2.2.1, the uses applied for are consistent within the zone (the uses
    being Multiple dwelling and Short-term accommodation).

62. The proposed development is of a scale that compatible with and will not detract
    from the existing and intended character and amenity of the locality. The
    proposed development also makes a positive contribution to the streetscape and
    provides for a high level of residential amenity with attractive landscaped
    grounds. In my opinion, the proposed development satisfies the overall outcomes
    of the code.


State Planning Policy

    consider the SPP to the extent that it is relevant to the subject land.

64. According to the mapping provided by the Department of State Development,
    Infrastructure and Planning, the subject land is affected by the following:
