Item 7

Provide amended plans that complies with the site cover and setback requirements of the
Noosa Plan 2020.

Response: In accordance with Drawing No. C4.0 of the Proposal Plan set, the proposed site cover is
40% per level. A built-to-boundary garage is proposed to the southern elevation, however, this has a
maximum length of 9m, a maximum height of significantly less than 4.5m, and a mean height of 3.582m
(exceeding the QDC mean height by only 82mm). The height is well below the maximum 4.5m height
allowance, however the mean height is slightly exceeded due to the floor level requirements associated
with flood hazard, and is considered to be a minimal non-compliance. There are some minor setback
intrusions as outlined in the items above, all of which are proposed to be overcome via achieving the
associated performance outcomes, with an exemplary landscape outcome achieved.

Item 8

Amend the front facade of the dwelling in accordance with AO12 and PO12 to ensure the
dwelling more successfully addresses and contributes towards streetscape character.

Response: The proposal is oriented towards the street frontage. The main entry point is easily
recognisable via a separate pedestrian entry, gate, pathway, and feature entry landscaping including a
pond and planters. The street facing elevation also incorporates window openings, a porch, external
stairs, and awnings. As per Item 2, the extent of soft landscaping has been increased as a result of the
compliant basement setbacks and reduce basement footprint (Item 1) to soften the built form.

Item 9

Amend the southern elevation to more successfully respond to PO12 by avoiding large
continuous wall planes and bulky elevations. This may include introducing physical breaks in
