ATTENTION: DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT


Dear Sir,

RE:      RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST
Development Application - Material Change of Use – Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional (3
units) over land described as Lot 1 on RP66483 and Lot 1 on RP70165 and situated at 217 -219
Gympie Terrace, Noosaville

I refer to the above application and the information request issued by your Council and dated 11th April
2019. This request listed fifteen items that Council considers is necessary in order to complete its
assessment of the above application.

The applicant provides the following response:

Item 1: Please provide a response to the:
           i. Noosaville Locality Code, with a particular focus on how the proposed development
           responds to the Noosaville Locality Code’s Overall Outcome “qq - i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi ”;
           ii. Landscaping Code (where relevant); and
           iii. Engineering Works Codes (where relevant).

Applicant’s Response to Item 1: The proposed request is not considered to provide any further
information that would assist Council in assessing the application. The applicant is proposing a use that
is consistent in the Visitor Mixed Use zone and is typical of development in the area. Further the table
of assessment for the zone does not stipulate that Business Uses and Residential Uses must occur
together within the zone nor do the Specific Outcomes for the locality detail this requirement.

The request is not consistent with Councils approach to development along the foreshore that is
reflected in the surrounding lots from Albert Street to the west and to the Regatta development to the
east as being solely of a residential nature. No commercial development is located in this area and the
provision of commercial development on the site would be isolated and inconsistent with the
streetscape.

Appendix E of the information submitted as part of the application addresses the Noosaville Locality
Code and the Planning Report details that the Landscaping and Engineering Works Codes have been
considered as part of the proposal.

Please also note that separate applications will be lodged for Operational Works relating to these
matters. A Landscape plan has however been provided to further illustrate landscaping across the site.
