             The proposal does not comply with the Noosaville code in relation to building height and setbacks.
             With regard to height the proposal does not comply with the stipulated 8 metre height limit due to the
             minimum floor height required for the site due to flooding. The proposed height is considered
             appropriate and complies with the Specific outcomes as detailed below:

                           a) are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
                           surrounding premises;

             Buildings within the Noosaville area have generally been approved with building height that reflects
             the increased floor levels required due to potential flooding. The proposed height is therefore
             consistent with the form of development in the area.

                           b) have a maximum building height of —
                            i. for the Attached Housing Zone 2 Storeys.

             Complies – 2 storeys

                           c) do not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces or the existing skyline;

             Complies – is consistent with the character of the surrounding area. The 0.5 metre increase in height
             relates to a small portion of the roof line located to the centre of the site minimising any impact on the
             street and skyline.

                           d) preserve the amenity of surrounding premises.

             Complies – The 0.5 metre increase in height relates to a small portion of the roof line located to the
             centre of the site and does not impact on the surrounding premises.

                           e) respect the scale of the surrounding vegetation;

             Building height consistent with vegetation in the area.

                           f) respond to the topography of the site and minimise cut and fill where on a sloping site.

             Building height consistent with development located in a flood plane.


             The proposal also does not fully meet requirements in relation to setbacks. It is noted that this form of
             development and setback intrusions were approved by Council under a previous application
             2004/4206.

             The applicant proposes a number of intrusions into the setback area including:

                                  o      Intrusion into Mill Street second frontage setback
                                  o      Intrusion of Lot 4 duplex into rear setback
                                  o      Non compliance with side boundary setbacks for garages.
