This part of Noosa sound is characterised by large dwellings located at the end of a cul-de sac with

The building element complements the design and meets the relevant Performance Outcomes.

Site Cover
The building is designed with a site cover of 40.2% for both levels as demonstrated below. The
relevant acceptable outcome seeks for a 40% coverage over both levels. The encroachment
represents an increase of 1.22m2. The relevant performance outcome seeks for compatibility with
surrounding development, does not present as bulky and allows for landscaping to be provided
between buildings.

The site has a wide frontage to the waterway and includes a large open living area fronting the
waterway. The design meets all the relevant landscaped setbacks and is generally compatible with
the surrounding development which includes some larger builings with a 50% site coverage. The
1.22m2 increase is considered de minimus considering the size of the lot an meets the relevant
performance outcomes.
