Height

Council has previously agreed to relaxations within the Settlers Cove development for height on the basis
that the sites slope down from the road with the buildings set down below the road and not visible to the
surrounding area. The revised plans demonstrate compliance with height for the majority of the building with
a small corner section of the roof line intruding over the height limit. This area of intrusion will not be visible
from the street or surrounding areas.

The encroachment has been reviewed against Performance Outcome PO5 of the Noosa Plan 2020 below:

       PO5 Buildings and structures:

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

       Building height is consistent with the height of buildings in the surrounding area noting that Council
       has approved several minor encroachments on surrounding sites.

       (b)      are designed to provide an interesting streetscape and complement landform changes and
       landscapes;

       Building steps down the slope of the site and with the area of encroachment not visible to the street.

       (c)        do not visually dominate the street or surrounding area;

       The area of encroachment will not be visible to the street.

       (d)        respect the scale of existing vegetation, maintaining a vegetated skyline;

       The area of encroachment relates to a corner of the building and is consistent with heights in the
       area.

       (e)       preserve the amenity of surrounding premises including privacy, views and access to
       sunlight;

       The area of encroachment is to the centre of the site and will not be visible to the surrounding
       premises or affect views or access to sunlight.

       (f)       do not exceed three storeys , except for lots with frontage to Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
       which do not exceed four storeys.

       The area of encroachment does not exceed four storeys.
