    26. Amend the proposal to demonstrate compliance with AO20.2, AO20.3 and
        PO20 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code.

AO20.2 and AO20.3 seeks for buildings on sloping sites to not protrude above the
prevailing vegetation and include split level building designs. The proposal retains the 15m
landscaped setback to the coastal boundary and sits amongst the existing vegetation,
whilst also visually complementing by providing rooftop landscaping and areas for large
plantings along the setbacks.

The design is visually responsive to the natural topography and hides much of its bulk
within the site. The design appropriately steps down the slope and provides for sufficient
retaining works as described in the geotechnical reporting to stabilise the site. The high
end materials and finishes including stone, timber and vegetation give the development a
grounded feeling that complements its natural setting and integrates with the landscape
and skyline. The architecturally designed house by the award winning Shaun Lockyer
Architects provides a built form response which does not dominate its natural coastal
setting, rather the design is situated within the landscape and steps down the coastal dune
so as not to dominate adjoining neighbours, the streetscape or when viewed from
Sunshine Beach consistent with the requirements of the code.
