Dear Sir/Madam
Further Advice – Development Application
I refer to your application and advise that Council wishes to provide you with further advice about the application in accordance with the provisions of the Development Assessment Rules 2017.
application details
Application No.	MCU20/0026
Street Address:	40 Park Cres, Sunshine Beach Qld 4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 599 RP 48112
Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (8 June 2018)
further advice
You are advised that:
Issue – Setbacks
Front Setback
Schedule 1 of the Noosa Plan requires a front setback of:
6m for 1 or 2 storey building;
or for 3 storey building - 6m for the first 2 storeys and 10m for the third storey.
The Information Request response included updated plans showing a reduction to the proposed front boundary setback to 4.2 metres for both Level 2 and Level 3. The proposed 4.2 metre front setback is stated to be required ‘as a result of engineering requirements relating to stormwater drainage’. Sufficient information has not been provided to support the reduced setback to the road boundary for Level 2.
Schedule 1 requires Level 3 to be setback 10 metres from the road boundary. The proposed road boundary setback to Level 3 is not supported. The proposed setback raises significant concerns in regards to impacts on view lines of surrounding properties.

Side Setbacks
Schedule 1 of the Noosa Plan requires that portions of the building in excess of 10.5 metres in height from finished and/or natural ground level are to be setback 3.0 metres from the side boundaries.
Information Required
Provide updated plans complying with the required 6 metre front boundary setback to Level 2, or alternatively, provide sufficient justification for the reduced boundary setback.
Provide updated plans showing a compliant 10 metre front boundary setback to Level 3. Alternatively, provide evidence that any proposed minor reduced setback will not adversely impact on amenity and viewlines of surrounding development. For example, this may include a plan that shows the difference on viewlines between compliant and non-compliant setbacks.
Provide updated plans complying with the required side boundary setbacks.
Issue – Site Cover
Details relating to site cover calculations, including any buildings and structures in excess of 1 metre in height, requested through the Information Request dated 1 May 2020, has not been accurately provided.
site cover means the proportion of a site covered by all buildings and structures shown as a percentage. For enclosed spaces this includes the area within the outside wall and for unenclosed spaces this includes the area measured along a line 600mm in from the perimeter of the roof. Site cover includes garages and other roofed outbuildings, but does not include landscape structures such as in-ground pools and decks.
The definition for site cover does not specifically exclude unroofed structures from the calculation of site cover. Council includes any structure in excess of 1 metre in height above natural and finished ground level within site cover calculations, where the structure is considered to add bulk to the development (eg. above ground swimming pool).
Information Required
Provide an updated Site Cover Plan calculating site cover in accordance with the definition of site cover under The Noosa Plan, including all buildings and structures in excess of 1 metre in height from natural and/or finished ground level.
Issue – Roof Terrace
The proposal plans include an ‘uncovered balcony’ on Level 3, creating opportunities for residents to overlook the private open space areas of neighbouring properties, contrary to the requirement of The Noosa Plan.
Information Required
Provide evidence (eg. site line diagrams) that the ‘uncovered balcony’ will not result in overlooking of neighbouring properties.
Issue – Structure within the Easement
Details relating to the structure within the easement requested through the Information Request dated 1 May 2020 has not been provided.
Information Required
Provide structural details of the proposed retaining garden wall/structure and demonstrate how it will not compromise the structural integrity of the existing stormwater infrastructure; and
Demonstrate how it is proposed to ensure that tree roots will not compromise the existing drain.
Provide a work method statement demonstrating how Council’s existing stormwater infrastructure will be protected and not affected by the proposed works.
It is noted that any structure within the easement may be damaged/removed should any works be required within the easement.
due date for response to further advice
A response to the further advice is required by 16 October 2020.
