               bounds of the premises (i.e. Lot 2 on GTP1154 and its Exclusive Areas 2A and 2B). The
               proposed boundary setbacks above ground level are similar to those boundary setbacks for the
               existing dwelling and acknowledge that the premises is on a standard format lot in a community
               titles scheme and the location of the existing driveway into the premises in Common Property.

               in the Noosa Plan 2020.

   (c)         The site and premises are in the Tourist Accommodation Zone and the Hastings Street Mixed
               Use Precinct under the Noosa Plan 2020 and the proposed continuation of the existing dwelling
               use is consistent with the land use preferences in the Noosa Plan 2020 for the site.
