4.3.4   Tewantin & Doonan Locality Code
The proposed development has been assessed against the Locality Code and the key
conclusions are summarised below.

4.3.4.1 Overall Outcomes
A review of the Locality Code has identified that the proposal is consistent with the
following Overall Outcomes:

           the site is already in residential use and the application simply seeks to increase
            the density of this existing use;

           the existing residential use is compatible with other established uses within the
            area and can continue to operate on the site without adverse impacts on the
            amenity of the adjoining uses;

           the development will provide additional residential accommodation in
            accordance with the primary role of the Locality, to provide permanent
            housing for residents;

           the proposed residential units will offer future residents a high level of residential
            amenity, convenience, accessibility and servicing;

           the proposed development is consistent with the height, scale and density of
            development expected within the local area;

           the application is consistent with the intent of the Overall Outcomes to
            encourage multiple housing for permanent residents close to Tewantin Business
            Centre; and

           the residential units, which comprise a mix of one (1) and two (2) bedrooms, will
            provide a type of accommodation which is in short supply, will be more
            affordable and as such, will be consistent with the general intent for the
            Community Services Zone to support the needs of low income earners.

4.3.4.2 Specific Outcomes & Probable Solutions
The proposed development has been assessed against the relevant Probable Solutions
and Specific Outcomes and has been found to be compliant. The key conclusions are
summarised below:

           the proposed development is consistent with the existing use of the site, the
            character of the local area and has been designed to minimise adverse
            impacts on the amenity of adjoining residents and the local area;

           the proposed development will enhance the visual amenity of Doonella Street
            and will not compromise the function of the local road network;
