                                                                                             23 Grant Street, Noosa Heads




7.3        Level of Assessment
In accordance with the Assessment Table 9.2 f o r the Semi-Attached Housing Zone in the Noosa Heads
Locality, the development is identified as a consistent use and is subject to Code Assessment.



7.4        Applicable Development and Overlay Codes
The following Codes are applicable to the proposed development:
    •         Residential Uses Code;
    •         Noosa Heads Locality Code;
    •         Natural Hazard: Bushfire & Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay - Low Potential Acid Sulfate Area 5-20m AHD;
    •         Landscaping Code;
    •         Driveways and Carparking Code;
    •         Earthworks Code;
    •         Erosion and Sediment Control Code;
    •         Existing Services Code;
    •         Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
    •         Waste Management Code; and
    •         Water Sensitive Design Code

Comment:
Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution demonstrating compliance with the specific
outcome is provided below, including sufficient planning grounds to justify the conflicts with the probable
solutions.



    7.4.1          Residential Uses Code
Comment: The proposed duplex development has been assessed and is consistent with the specific outcomes
outlined in Table 14-24 of the Residential Uses Code. The development is consistent with the developed
character of the locality and is sited on land that is suitable for residential development. There will be little
disturbance to the environment as water run-off is captured and treated on site via landscaping treatments.
Standard water, sewer, electricity and telecommunication connections will be provided.



    7.4.2          Noosa Heads Locality Code
Comment: The proposal is consistent with the majority of the specific outcomes outlined in Tables 9.11 and
9.13 of the Noosa Heads Locality Code. Overall the character and visual amenity of the locality is retained and
enhanced by the proposed development. The proposal meets the density levels and site cover ratios
permissible for the site.

The proposed development complies with the Probable Solution detailed in S7.1 (maximum height of 8m), but
does not meet the Specific Outcome O7 (maximum 2 storeys). The proposed does not exceed the maximum
height permissible for the site. However, in order to address the constraints of the site the proposed design
incorporates 3 storeys across a section of the building. The justification for the additional storey is detailed in
Section 5.2 of this report. This inconsistency will have a negligible impact on the adjoining properties.
