               AO9.1 Buildings and structures meet the following minimum boundary setbacks:
                 (a)     for frontages:
                                   (i) first and second storeys— 6 metres
                                  (ii) third storey and thereafter—10 metres
                 (b)     Side boundaries—

                                    (i)
                                    1.5 metre setback up to 4.5 metres height;
                                   (ii)
                                    2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and
                                  (iii)
                                    2 metres plus 500 millimetres for every 3 metres above 7.5 metres height or
                                    part thereof

                                   (ii)   third storey and thereafter— 8 metres

               The dwelling house proposes to establish an 8.9m front setback in lieu of 10m at the third storey
               and a 6m rear setback in lieu of 8m at the third storey and does not adopt the acceptable outcome
               offered within AO9.1 of the High Density Residential Zone. Despite not adopting the acceptable
               outcome offered within AO9.1 the development satisfies the performance outcome PO9 for the
               following reasons:
               PO9 Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
                 (a) provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                     including provision of visual and acoustic privacy;
                 (b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
                     areas of adjoining premises;
                 (c) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                 (d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                 (e) allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings
                     including adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living
                     and utilities;
                 (f) be consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area; and
                 (g) protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
                     areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands.

                    (a) The dwelling house is largely setback from neighbouring properties and although seeks to
                        encroach within the front and rear setback at the upper level, provides adequate separation
                        from adjoining premises providing a high level of amenity for users.

                    (b) The dwelling house is proposed to be established at a height of 12m and presents intrusions
                        into the front and rear setback where the dwelling house will not present issues of
                        overlooking to neighbouring residents. The dwelling house is proposed at a height that is
                        accepted within the High Density Residential Zone and does not seek to unreasonably
                        obstruct surrounding premises view lines.

                    (c) The dwelling house is not proposed within the side boundary setbacks and provides 18m
                        of separation between the rear adjoining dwelling thereby ensuring adequate distance from
                        adjoining land uses is maintained.

                    (d) The subject site does not include vegetation of biodiversity significance and provides ample
                        soft landscaping that will help buffer the dwelling house.

                    (e) The submitted plans demonstrate that the dwelling house is provided with 26.8%
                        (142.30m²) soft landscaping and allows planting at ground level for trees, shrubs, outdoor
                        living and utilities.

                    (f) Park Crescent is made up of a mixture of two storey dwellings, up to four storey multiple
                        dwellings and the proposal is consistent with the existing established character within the
                        street.

                    (g) The subject site does not include ecologically important areas and does not impact the
                        natural character of the area.
               The proposal satisfies the Performance Outcome PO9 of the High Density Residential Zone Code.

               AO13.1         Front fences or walls are set back an average of 1 metre and are articulated to
                              provide visual interest by stepping the design at a maximum of 5 metre intervals.

               Acceptable Outcome AO13.2 of the High Density Residential Zone states:

               AO13.2         Where located on the boundary:
                              (a) the solid portion of front fences and walls is no more than 1.2 metres high; or
                              (b) the walls contain openings or materials that ensure it is 50% transparent and has
                                  a height not exceeding 1.8 metres.

               The proposal seeks to include a fence height of 2m at the highest point in lieu of 1.8m and does
               not provide an average setback of 1m at 5m intervals and does not adopt the acceptable outcome
               AO13.1 and AO13.2 of the High Density Residential Zone. As such, the proposal requires
               assessment against the performance outcome PO13:

               Front                              fences                           and                   walls
               PO13           Front fences and walls are designed and sited to:
                              (a) contribute to the attractiveness of the streetscape;
                              (b) be compatible with the existing streetscape character;
                              (c) avoid interference with movement of surface stormwater;
                              (d) allow for casual surveillance of the street;
                              (e) provide planting in front of solid fences and walls; and
                              (f) ensure plantings between the front fence and the footpath does not create an
                                  impediment for pedestrians using the footpath.

                    (a) The proposed fencing includes variation to material and presents visual interest to the
                        street. The exceedance to fence height is limited to the eastern portion of the frontage
                        boundary due to the slope of the site. The fence contributes to the attractiveness of the
                        street by providing materials considerate of the coastal landscape.

                    (b) Park Crescent includes a mixture of block wall fencing up to 1.8m in height. The fencing
                        proposed includes stone, open battens and block work and softens the visual impact of the
                        built form to the street thereby remaining compatible with the existing development within
                        Park Crescent.

                    (c) The development demonstrates stormwater management is achieved, and the fence does
                        not interfere with the movement of surface stormwater.

                    (d) The proposed fencing is not of a height, bulk or scale that disrupts casual surveillance to
                        the street.

                    (e) The dwelling house is provided with a 2m wide landscape buffer to the street and provides
                        landscaping forward of the front fencing.

                    (f) The proposed landscaping does not present vegetation that will create an impediment for
                        pedestrians using the footpath.

               The proposal satisfies the Performance Outcome PO13 of the High Density Residential Zone.

               Streetscape

               Acceptable Outcome AO10.5 of the High Density Residential Zone Code states:



                                                                                                     Page 11 of 18

               AO10.5
               For a dwelling house, development provides visual interest to the street and the surrounding area
               through:
                          (a) limiting the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest suspended floor to no
                              more than 3 metres;
                          (b) limiting the length of any external wall in one plane to 15 metres; and
                          (c) ensuring each external wall includes at least one design element such as verandahs,
                              external stairs, window openings, awnings or porches.

               The submitted plans demonstrate the length of the wall in one plane exceeds 15m and does not
               adopt the acceptable outcome AO10.5 of the High Density Residential Zone Code. As such, the
               proposal requires assessment against the performance outcome PO10:

               PO10           Development:
                              (a) contributes positively to the surrounding area;
                              (b) addresses and enhances the streetscape by incorporating articulation and
                                  individual design elements that add visual interest to the development;
                              (c) has form and architectural scale that does not dominate the streetscape or the
                                  surrounding properties;
                              (d) does not detract from the visual amenity of adjoining properties through the impact
                                  on views, access to sunlight or overlooking;
                              (e) takes the form of small separate buildings, rather than large single bulky
                                  development; and
                              (f) sits within a landscaped setting.

                    (a) The dwelling house provides variation to materials window openings and open battening to
                        avoid the appearance of a blank wall to neighbouring properties and contributing positively
                        to the surrounding area.

                    (b) As included above, the dwelling house is provided with a number of different materials
                        including aluminium batten screening, stone walls, window openings and timber panels that
                        provides visual interest to the development.

                    (c) The dwelling house provides a height, scale and bulk consistent with surrounding
                        development and is not proposed to be established with large blank faces and walls to the
                        frontage thereby avoiding the impact of dominating the streetscape.

                    (d) The dwelling house is presented at a scale consistent with surrounding development and
                        does not proposed to impede upon access to sunlight of adjoining properties.

                    (e) The development provides variation in materials at varied heights and avoids the
                        appearance of bulk to surrounding development.

                    (f) The dwelling house is provided with ample soft landscaping and sits within a landscaped
                        setting.


               The proposal satisfies the Performance Outcome PO10 of the High Density Residential Zone.

               4.     DRAFT NOOSA PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2

                      The Noosa Plan 2020 Amendment No. 2 is with the State for Ministerial Approval to Adopt
                      the Amendment.
                      The proposed amendments include limiting dwelling houses within the High Density
                      Residential Zone to being accepted development subject to requirements where located on
                      a lot with an area less than 500m2 and impact assessment and inconsistent use where
                      located on a lot exceeding 500m2.
                      It is noted that the ‘Coty Principle’ established that weight may be given to proposed planning
                      scheme amendments that may have implications for a development application. However in
                      this regard, as the application was lodged 24 February 2025 and decision stage commenced
                      9 April 2025 prior to the amendments being advertised and any feedback being received
                      from the community it is considered that the amendments are not advanced enough through
                      the legislative process to enable significant weight to be given to the proposed changes for
                      the subject application. As such, although the proposed form of dwelling house is not
                      supported under the planning scheme amendments, these changes cannot be taken into
                      consideration at this point of the application process.
                      A dwelling house within the High Density Residential Zone is currently a supported form of
                      development for the following reasons:
                           •    The dwelling house is proposed within Park Crescent which is made up of a mixture
                                of multiple dwellings, dual occupancies, and dwelling houses that vary from two-
                                storeys to four-storeys. The dwelling house is proposed to be three storeys and is
                                consistent with the existing established development pattern within Park Crescent
                                and is thereby appropriately located.
                           •    The dwelling house is provided with adequate private open space, access, parking,
                                landscaping, clothes drying facilities, and entertainment areas which provide a high
                                level of comfort and amenity for occupants.
                           •    The dwelling house provides adequate separation between neighbouring residents
                                and maintains the privacy and amenity of neighbouring residents.

               5.      INTERNAL REFERRALS
                           •    Engineering Coordinator – as conditioned
                                The subject application is for a single dwelling that includes significant earthworks
                                and it is noted that part of the site is affected by the landslide mapping within the
                                Noosa Plan. A condition for a site specific geotechnical report has been included.
                                The proposed driveway does not appear to be in accordance with Council’s standard
                                drawings and the grades are unknown. A condition for a subsequent operational
                                works has been included.
                                No stormwater management plan for the development has been provided. A condition
                                for a site specific stormwater management plan has been included.
               6.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
