5.2       COUNCIL INTERESTS & PLANNING SCHEME
5.2.1     ZONING

The subject site is zoned as Medium Density Residential. The purpose of the zone is to provide for
medium density, multiple dwellings, community uses and a limited number local services required to
support the local needs.

The proposed development is required to be assessed against the Medium density residential zone
code.

The development proposal is consistent with the overall outcomes sought by the code as the
development is:

         For medium density residential purposes and intended for permanent residents.
         Makes a positive contribution to the neighbourhood by maintaining a low-rise character and
          provides a high-quality contemporary building inclusive of building articulation and variation in
          the use of materials.
         Incorporates native landscape treatments that enhances the streetscape along David Low
          Way.
         Facilitates a mix of housing types in the area by incorporating a 3 x 2 bedroom dwellings (i.e
          small dwellings) in close proximity to the local centre and public transport.
         Maintains and retains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic, noise and
          lighting.
         Responds to the site’s constraints and topography; and
         Improved by landscaping along the site’s frontage and through-out the development site.

An assessment against the codes has been undertaken and is attached to this report as Appendix D. The
code assessment has determined that the proposed development generally complies with all the
relevant performance outcomes of the code.

5.2.2     LOCAL PLAN

The subject site is located in the Coastal Communities Local Plan area. The local plan seeks to provide
locally relevant provisions for the assessment of development within the local plan area. The proposed
development achieves the overall outcomes of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code by:

         Providing a contemporary architecturally designed multi-unit accommodation in close
          proximity to the Peregian Beach Local Centre.
         Complements Peregian Beach’s low-key character and village setting
