1.3.2 Land Use and Existing Site Conditions
The site lies within a Medium Density Residential Zone as per the Noosa Plan 2020. The site was
previously developed as motel style short term accommodation however these buildings have been
demolished and removed, and as such the site is currently vacant land.

1.3.3 Topography and Stormwater Conveyance
Levels across the site range from RL 2.0m AHD to 1.4m AHD, generally sloping to the south towards
Gympie Tce. Approximately 10% of the lot, at the northern most portion falls towards the Council
land adjoining the northern boundary. Stormwater runoff from the site follows the topography,
reporting to Councils kerb and channel in Gympie Tce where a network of underground pipes convey
flows to the waterway east of the site and north across Mill St to the River.

1.3.4 Description of Development
The proposed development will deliver a Dual Occupancy with the units being defined by upper and
lower storey. A basement car park will provide off street carparking and storage. Fig. 2. Below
shows an architectural image of the proposed development.

2.0 ACCESS, CARPARKING & EXTERNAL WORKS

2.1     Vehicle Access and Carparking

The Operational Works development application enables vehicle access from Mill Street via the
existing access Easement B on SP305586 as per Condition 29 of MCU22/0171.
The Engineering Drawings (220508 ISSUE D – 31/10/23) can be found in Appendix A and include
detailed driveway and parking area designs to demonstrate compliance with the Condition. Five (5)
carparks are located within the basement at right angles to the access ramp. Detailed vehicle turn
paths have been prepared using Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2023 and demonstrate that the proposed
carparking and access layouts are functional and practical given the space available. 2xB99 vehicle
parks and 3xB85 vehicle parks are demonstrated in accordance with AS2890.1 Appendix B (including
