SETBACKS
Item 6. Front boundary: the entire dwelling is proposed to be setback 0.7‐1.1 metres from the
        front boundary. The required setback in a Detached House Zone is 6 metres. It is noted
        that the existing dwelling has maintained the required setback for approximately 50% of
        the dwelling. It is noted that the part of the dwelling within the setback visually dominates
        the streetscape with little opportunities for landscaping.
         Northern boundary: the proposed dwelling proposes a 1.5 metre setback (parts of Level 1
         and Rooftop) in lieu of a 2‐2.5m setback in accordance with Schedule 1 of Noosa Plan.

         Detached House Code.

In response to this request, the originally proposed front and side boundary setbacks have not been
altered as they are already deemed to effectively comply with O1 of the Detached House Code. In
particular, these setbacks will comply with requirements to: provide amenity for users of the
premises; preserve the visual and acoustic privacy of adjoining and nearby land uses as well as
reasonable access to views and sunlight; preserve existing vegetation which will buffer the proposed
building or structure from adjoining uses; allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings;
and maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape elements within the
street. In regard to complying with these requirements, it is important to note that an amended set
of plans have been prepared which indicate a new vegetated buffers along the front and side
boundaries of the site. In addition to this, these plans indicate a new courtyard at the front of the
site which will be visible from the street through semi‐transparent battening. These amendments
follow discussions between JRA and Council.
