Dear Sir,
RE: SUBMISSION AGAINST DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION MCU14/0067
Development Application Seeking Development Permit for Material Change of Use
- Industrial Business - Type 1 Warehouse over Land described located at 77 Rene Street.
Noosaville and described as Lot 2 on SP244573
Please accept this letter as a properly made submission under Section 305 of the Sustainable Planning
Act 2009 oppo~i~g the above development application for abcve material change of use application.
The grounds relied on in making this submission objecting to the above development application and
.~-
the facts and circumstances supporting these grounds of objection include the following:
1. The facade of the building does not comply with the Visual Amenity provisions of the
Noosa Plan (the Business Uses Code).
Facts and Circumstances relied on in this submission for Ground NO.1 include the following:
. ft.. .
S69.1 Ilf the Business Code states - S69.1 Where the length of any far;ade facing a street
or residenti~/ property exceeds 30m, the design presents a stepped building line and uses
varying colours and materials to break the building bulk.
The applical)t fails to address this component of the code and no assessment of the
Industrial Business Section of the Business Code appears to be provided.
The building presents a 35 metres facade to Rene Street. This facade does not present a
stepped building line and creates a large bulky building that will have negative impact on
the street and the overall high standard of design for the area.
As indicated in the 3D plans below submitted as part of the proposal, the facade has no
physical stepping as required by the planning scheme. The result is a building that relies
purely on a change in colour and materia! to soften the massive facade. This treatment is
not considered appropriate for the emerging character of the area. The proposed building
therefore does not comply with scheme requirements and should not be approved.

2. The proposal does not comply with the Noosaville Locality Code - Specific Outcome 019
Plot ratio which details a maximum plot ratio of 0.6 whereas the proposal seeks at plot
ratio of 0.93.
Facts and Circumstances relied on in this submission for Ground NO.2 include the following:
The pianning report accompanying the application notes that the proposal does not ccmply with
the Noosaville Locality Code - Specific Outcome 019 Plot ratio. Under Specific Outcome 019 a
maximum plot ratio of 0.6 is detailed.
"
The proposal' seeks approval for a plot ratio of 0,93 on the basis that scheme amendments
increasing" plot ratio for the precinct have been endorsed by Council.
This request and justification is considered premature as whilst the amendments may have been
endorsed by Council the exact nature of the changes are not known and other technical
requirements may be introduced as part of the amendments. Further the general public has not
had the opportunity to view the exact nature of the amendments which cculd alter the overall
provisions. f
':- .
The non compiiance with plot ratio has resulted in a building that has an unappealing and bulky
fa98de .to the street and should not be accepted or approved,
e
3. The landscaping proposed for the site is inadequate and not consistent with the intent of
the area.
Facts and Circumstances relied on in this submission for Ground NO.3 include the following:
lv~
Limited landscaping has been provided on site. It appears from the proposal plans that
landscaping includes areas predominately required for stormwater management. The Noosa
Plan defines that landscaped areas as:
"';"1'

landscaped area (including landscaped buffer areas, landscaped bUIlding setback and
landscaping) means part of a sire comprising predominantly soft landscaping and set aside for the
purposes of enhancing or protecting the amenity of the site. The term includes the areas occupied
by a rainwater tank and bicycle racks, swimming pools or ponds and garden paths, but does not
include impervious surtaces sudl as driveways, vehicle access lanes, vehicle parking and
manoeUVJinQ areas. waste storaQ8 areas. and the like.
The proposed landscaping to the front of the site comprises stonmwater measures, easement
and access driveways. This configuration combined with the buildings non compliant facade and
plot ratio excess detailed above results in a building that does not comply with the planning
scheme and should not be approved.
In summary the development application should not be supported by Council as it does not comply with
current scheme requirements and results in a bulky unattractive building. Approval of a development
with these areas of non-compliance has the ability to severely impact on the developing character of
the area and set an undesira dent.
Yours sincerely,
William Benjamin Sharpe
