Planning Report - 109 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville for Deirdre Williams and Maurice Farrell


3.2 Access and Parking
Access to the site is via an exposed aggregate concrete vehicle crossover from Gympie
Terrace. The driveway is expected to comply with standard drawings RS-049 and RS-
050 for residential driveways. The proposal provides a turning area to ensure that all
vehicles are able to enter and exit the site in a forward gear in accordance with AS2890.1 for
residential access. The driveway will have a minimum width of 3.5 m, therefore complying
with the requirements of AS2890.1.
Each of the two villas is provided with a single garage and an open car parking space for
visitor car parking; making for a total of four car parking spaces on site, therefore exceeding
the requirements of The Driveways and Car parking Code. The garages are compliant
with the requirements of AS2890.1; exceeding the requirements for minimum internal
dimensions and door widths.
Additionally, being a duplex, the proposal is not expected to have any adverse impact on the
local road network in terms of traffic generation, and the proposal’s provision of ample off-
street parking will ensure that there is no adverse impact in terms of on-street parking
demand.

3.3 Private Open Space

area that is accessible from within the unit. The private open space areas are of adequate size
and dimensions to meet the needs of occupants and to satisfy and are clearly separated from
the public realm.

The proposal will include high quality soft landscaping treatments consisting of an
appropriate range of plant species. The soft landscaping area will contribute positively to the

concepts:
• Dense screen planting along front of site, including planter boxes integrated into the front
fence;
• Specimen trees to front of site ; and

The proposal uses native plant species selected from Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 3 -
Landscaping Planted & Guidelines to support the natural landscape character of the area. A
landscaping plan is included in Appendix C.

3.5 Waste Management
The proposal includes a screened area for the storage of one general waste wheelie bin and
