Town Planning Assessment Report · OPW26/0133

3.2 LANDSCAPING AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE

Landscaping will constitute 40.5% of the site area, with 75.7% of this total being soft landscaping. A
minimum 999mm landscape buffer to the frontage is proposed along the site frontage in front of the
proposed fence, with the exception of the driveway and pedestrian access pathway. Landscaping is
proposed along side and rear boundaries. Areas of deep planting will soften the impact of the built
form to the street and adjoining neighbours. A feature planter is proposed on the First Floor to
visually soften the built form.

Unit 1 has a balcony with an area of 46.16m2 located off the main living area on the First Floor. This
comprises an alfresco area and pool. Unit 2 has a private terrace of 46.61m2 off the main living area
plus a turfed yard at the rear of the site. In addition, a number of public recreational spaces are
located within 130m of the site along the Noosa River Foreshore.

3.3 TRAFFIC, PARKING AND ACCESS

Parking and access arrangements were reviewed and assessed against the requirements of the
Driveways and Parking Code for off-street parking.

Access to the site is proposed via a new common driveway from Elizabeth Street. Being a local road
and a Dual Occupancy, forward in, forward out access is not required.

The requirements for parking based on land use and zoning are outlined in Driveways and Parking
Code and Table 9.4.1.4 Minimum On-Site Parking requirements as detailed below:

The minimum required car parking is set out as follows:

    ●​ two covered spaces; and
    ●​ one additional space.

The development provides 3 covered car parks in the garage, with sufficient room on the driveway
for two visitor parks. The proposal provides a surplus of two car parking spaces, and therefore
reduces demand and reliance on on-street parking.

A pedestrian footpath can be conditioned as required.

3.4 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES

The proposed development will be serviced onsite by wheelie bins. Waste collection will be facilitated
from the kerb on the nominated day of collection.

A proposed lawful point of discharge for stormwater has been detailed by the project engineer. Refer
to the attached Engineering Plans prepared by SCG Consulting Engineers. The legal point of
discharge is proposed to be via Elizabeth Street.

The site can be connected to all essential urban infrastructure.
