Response to Information Request · PBA17/0008
Date: 27 April 2017 The Chief Executive Officer Noosa Shire Council, PO Box 141 Tewantin QLD 4565 Response to Council’s Information Request in relation to an application for Preliminary Approval for Building Works for extensions to an existing house at 11A Webb Road, Sunshine Beach (Council Reference PBA17/0008). I have been engaged by the applicant to prepare a response to Council’s Information Request dated 20 April 2017. Please find below a response to each item raised. It is noted that the proposed building works are not assessable against the Detached House Code as specified on Council’s information request. A response to Council’s issues has been provided having consideration to the Building Works Code which is the applicable code in this instance. Information Requested 1. Provide site cover calculations for the first and second storey of the proposed dwelling on the existing ground and first floor plans. Response Please find attached site cover calculations that demonstrate each floor level of the build represents a site cover of less than 40%. Information Requested 2. Demonstrate compliance with the setbacks on the existing ground and first floor plans or specify what relaxations are required. Response The proposed setbacks to the first floor are consistent with the existing 2 storey structural elements of the building and are generally compliant with the requirements of the Noosa Plan. While the existing building and proposed additions offer a minimum setback of 1.8m to the northern side boundary, this minor encroachment will not impact on the amenity of the adjoining neighbours or the surrounding area. The additions also include a small roofed gatehouse adjacent to the existing carport that is within the front setback. The pedestrian gatehouse will improve the dwellings address to the street and reduce the dominant focus towards

the existing carport. The gatehouse is an open structure and will not be
obtrusive from the street frontage.
Information Requested
3. The roof pitch appears to be less than 5% as specified under S16.1
of the Detached House Code. Demonstrate compliance with this
requirement or specify what pitch is proposed and justify
accordingly.
Response
The existing building is a 2 storey flat roofed design with a roof top terrace. The
proposed additions have been designed with a low pitch to integrate with
the existing building.
The Building Works Code does not contain any provisions relating to roof pitch
and therefore the proposed roof design is compliant with the outcomes of
the code.
Information Requested
4. Provide greater detail on the elevation plan that describes the
location and orientation of the roof top terrace. Does it differ from
the one that exists/ed?
Response
No changes are proposed to the existing roof top terrace. The extent of the
existing structure is detailed on the aerial photograph below:

This response constitutes a full response in accordance with Section 278 of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and we wish Council to proceed with the
assessment of the application.
Should you have any questions in relation to the proposal, or any aspect of
the development, please do not hesitate to contact me on 0423952928.
Yours faithfully,
Marcus Brennan
