                 Issue – Site Cover and Plot ratio
                 Acceptable and Performance Outcomes 10 and 11 of the Medium Density Residential Zone
                 Code requires that for Dwelling houses; Site cover and Plot ratio development do not exceed
                 40% and 0.4:1 respectively.
                 The planning assessment report indicates that the site cover of the proposed development is
                 42.7% and that the plot ratio is exceeded. Based on the combined exceedance of site
                 coverage and plot ratio the Dwelling house is an over development of the site and is not
                 supported.
                 It is unclear what areas of the Dwelling have been included within site cover and as gross floor
                 area to determine the plot ratio.
                 Information Required
                 4.   Both site cover and plot ratio maximums are Performance Outcomes of the Medium
                      Density Residential zone code. Provide site cover and gross floor area calculations in
                      accordance with Noosa plan 2020 for each level of the Dwelling house.
                 5.   Based on this assessment, provide amended plans and elevations to comply with the site
                      cover and plot ratio Performance Outcomes 10 and 11 of the Medium Density Residential
                      zone code.
                 6.   Provide additional clarification of the purpose and area of ‘plant and equipment’ proposed
                      at the lower level which contributes to gross floor area and plot ratio of the Dwelling.


                 Issue – Roof Forms
                 It has not been fully demonstrated that the proposed form of the roof is consistent with the
                 character of the area. The design appears to dominate the streetscape and result in a box
                 profile particularly when compared to existing developments to the east of the site.
                 Information Required
                 Provide further justification of how the development meets the performance criteria for PO19
                 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code. Providing examples of other existing or
                 approved development in the locality will assist with demonstrating this justification.
                 Provide an amended roof and façade design that avoids boxy profiles and provides sufficient
                 eaves in accordance with PO19/AO19.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
                 To reduce bulk and increase visual interest, it is requested that an alternative means of
                 screening is investigated. The amended roof and façade design is required to further address
                 PO14/AO14.1 and AO14.2 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.

                 Issue - Rear setback
                 AO 12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code requires a 6.0 metre rear setback.
                 The proposed development indicates a 2.4 metre rear setback to the contained planter and a
                 3.0 metre setback to the kitchen, dining and living area at first floor level and a similar set back
                 to the upper level balcony and plunge pool. The current rear setbacks are not supported.
                 Council have significant concerns that the proposed design and setbacks provide
                 opportunities for direct overlooking into adjoining premises to the north as well as potential
                 acoustic issues resulting from the upper level plunge pool and balcony within the setback.
                 The reduced set back also limits opportunities for any meaningful vegetation to occur at the
                 rear of the property and between buildings.
