Information Response

Item 3

Provide amended plans that comply with Acceptable outcome AO7.4 and Performance
outcome PO7 (f) and Performance outcome PO7 (a), (b), and (c) and Acceptable outcome
AO7.2.

Response: Please refer to the amended Proposal Plans prepared by Aboda Design Group, which includes
a Architectural analysis and comparison of two versus 3 storey built form. The analysis confirms that the
inclusion of a third storey is of no consequence to the built form in terms of bulk, massing, scale, privacy,
views or overlooking. The proposal complies with PO7 in the following ways:

    ●    PO7(a): the proposal is within the 8 metre height limit and is consistent with the existing built
         form surrounding the site;
    ●    PO7(b): the proposal provides architectural finishes and treatments to ensure a high quality finish
         to the streetscape.
    ●    PO7(c): the proposal presents as two storeys from the street frontage;
    ●    PO7(f): whilst the proposal exceeds two storeys for a small portion of the built form, the
         Architectural analysis provides evidence there is no greater visual impact on either neighbours or
         the street view by having a third consecutive level.

Item 4

Provide amended plans that comply with Acceptable outcome AO5 of the Coastal Protection
and Scenic Amenity overlay code.

Response: Please refer to the amended Proposal Plans prepared by Aboda Design Group. The extent of
the pool deck to the east of the pool has been decreased to what is existing. Landscaping is maintained
along the rear boundary, which includes a mix of turf and native landscaping.

We note that the site is mapped as containing medium bushfire hazard areas and medium potential
bushfire intensity. Providing a 5m vegetated landscape strip along this boundary provides an increased
fire risk to the subject site.

Item 5

Submit amended plans that remove decks close to the side boundary and reduce fence
heights to a maximum of 2 metres from natural ground.

Response: Please see attached letters of support from adjoining neighbours and the revised
Architectural Plans prepared by Aboda Design Group. The southern built-to-boundary deck will remain as
originally proposed, however the northern built-to-boundary deck has been amended to provide a 600mm
wide landscape strip. Fences B and C in particular are necessary as the southern site is elevated higher
than the subject site and the fence along this boundary assists in mitigating privacy concerns of the
residents and their visitors.

Item 6

Submit amended plans that comply with AO9.4 of the Low Density Residential Code (a) (ii)
and Queensland Development Code (QDC) A2 (d) (i).

Response: Please see attached revised Architectural Plans prepared by Aboda Design Group, which
demonstrates the mean height of the built-to-boundary garage is 3.309m, and therefore achieves
compliance with the Queensland Development Code (QDC) A2 (d) (i).
