                       LANDSLIDE HAZARD – Coffey Geotechnics Pty Ltd have provided a comprehensive
                        Geo Tech Report on the building envelope (Detached Housing Zone), which will be
                        taken into consideration by the Structural Engineer in his design process. Please note,
                        that it is our intention to cantilever the ground floor slab with structural beams on the
                        Northern elevation, to ensure minimal disturbance to the soil. The intention is to float
                        above it.

                       SET BACKS – Kingslane Projects Architectural Drawings provided, show the
                        proposed dwelling within the Detached Housing Zone boundaries. Relaxations are
                        requested on the Western and Southern boundaries to accommodate the proposed
                        design. A Landscape Architect will be contracted to design suitable plantings within
                        the Noosa Council, Planning Scheme Policy 3 – Landscape Plants and Guidelines, and
                        offer a buffer from the 2 street frontages. A directive from Council as to the extent of
                        road reserve plantings permitted, would be appreciated. The Client would be pleased
                        to provide plantings beyond his boundary to enhance this corner. At present there is
                        no kerb or guttering on the Natasha street frontage.

                       STORMWATER – Covey Assoc. Pty Ltd., have submitted a preliminary Stormwater
                        & Downpipe Plan, and every effort has been made to ensure maximum drainage away
                        from the Open Space Conservation Zone slope. The decking to the Northern elevation
                        and around the swimming pool, will be a slab with decking over, to ensure linear grate
                        drainage can be installed and storm water suitably directed away from the slope. Issue
                        A plan to follow, which replaces Issue P2.

                       HEIGHT – Kingslane Projects have submitted Architectural Plans with a height
                        blanket, indicating compliance with the 8m height limit from the Natural Ground
                        Level. This has been achieved by adjusting the Ground Level FFL down, and also
                        reducing the roof height over Upper Level Bed 3/Ensuite, which is evident in the
                        submitted Architectural Plans.

                       ROOF FORM – Kingslane Projects have submitted a Roof Plan with amended pitches
                        of a minimum of 5 degrees in all roof areas, with the exception of the Loggia at 12
                        degrees. This ensures compliance with the Detached House Code, and does not
                        compromise or implicate the design.


                 Could you please review the material provided and provide referral advice for the proposal.
                 It is our opinion that the location of the dwelling contributes positively to the streetscape,
                 maximises community safety and especially maintains the amenity and environmental values
                 of the adjacent land.
