Author Development Planner, Lisa Pienaar Development Assessment APPLICATION DETAILS Application No. MCU22/0174 Applicant Edward Street Development P/L Proposal Material Change of Use - Dual occupancy Properly Made Date 5 October 2022 Information Request Date 21 October 2022 Information Response Date 14 December 2022 Decision Due Date 28 March 2023 Report Reviewed & Finalised By Lisa Pienaar - 22 March 2023 PROPERTY DETAILS Property Address Kingston 23 Edward St Noosaville RP Description Lot 0 GTP 492, Lot 1 GTP 492, Lot 2 GTP 492 Land Area 612.33 m² Existing Use of Land Dual Occupancy STATUTORY DETAILS SEQRP Designation Urban Footprint Zone Medium Density Residential Precinct Not Applicable Local Plan Area Noosaville Local Plan Overlays Land subject to Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Flood Hazard Overlay Assessment Type Code PROPOSAL This application seeks approval to construct a new dual occupancy at 23 Edward Street, Noosaville. The proposed dual occupancy is 2 storeys and comprises 1 x three bedroom unit on the ground floor and 1 x three bedroom unit on the upper floor. Two double garages are located to the site’s front with a large terrace and pool provided on top of the garages for the sole use of the upper level unit. The locality and proposal plans are included below. Figure 1 – Locality Figure 2 – Lower Floor Plan Figure 3 – Upper Floor Plan Figure 4 – Front & Rear Elevations site details Background A single storey older dual occupancy exists on site which will be demolished for the new dual occupancy. Site Description The land has an area of 612m2 and is zoned medium density residential under the Noosa Plan 2020. A group title lot has been created over each of the existing units, with these lots to be amalgamated to accommodate the development. The site is generally level and requires some fill to establish a minimum floor level to meet the minimum habitable floor level. The site has a narrow verge of approximately 1.5m which will limit the footpath design requirements. There is no significant vegetation on site with some golden cane palm trees located to the site’s frontage, which will be removed for the proposed redevelopment of the site. Surrounding Land Uses The area has been developed for dual occupancy and multiple dwellings consistent with the zoning intent for the area. Buildings in Edward Street are 2 storeys, with 3 storey developments closer to Gympie Terrace. assessment Instruments for Statutory Assessment Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development: State Planning Policy; South East Queensland Regional Plan; Planning Regulation 2017; and Noosa Plan 2020. Noosa Plan 2020 The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development: Medium Density Residential Zone Code; Noosaville Local Plan Code Dual Occupancy & Multiple Dwelling Code; Works Codes; Flood Hazard Overlay Code. The subject site is located in Noosaville and is zoned Medium Density Residential. The proposed use is identified as a consistent use within the zone and is required to follow a code assessable application process. The application has been assessed against the above codes and the pertinent matters arising out of the assessment are outlined and discussed below: Criteria Planning Scheme Proposal Complies Building height storeys metres 2 storeys max 8 metres 2 storeys 8 metres Site cover 40% max 39.98 % Plot ratio 0.4:1 max 0.39:1 Boundary setbacks Frontage Side Side Rear 6 metres min 1.5/2.0/2.5 metres min 1.5/2.0/2.5 metres min 6 metres min 6 metres (noting 4 x 2 sets of stairs are located 4.6m) 1.5/2.0/2.5 metres 1.5/2.0/2.5 metres 5.2 metres lower level eave 5.7m to upper level eave X Length of wall 15 metres max < 15 metres Roof Form Pitch Eaves Min 5 degrees Min 600mm to 75% 5 degrees 600mm to >75% Landscaped open space Soft landscaping Landscaping Setbacks 245 m² min 147 min 60% of total 6 m 2m to car parking 264 m² 230 m² 6m except for driveway/manoeuvring areas 1m X Private Open Space 25 m² min ground level 12m2 above ground level > 25m² > 12m2 Garages (where face street) No more than 6m in width or 50% of frontage whichever is lesser Garages are separated by a min of 2m or staggered in setback by 1m < 6m each and less than 50% separation of garage doors, but not garages, no staggering X Carparking 2 covered min 1 additional space 4 covered The proposed development raises issues in respect to the proposed front setback, front landscaped setback, rear setback, garage and building design and potential privacy issues for neighbouring properties. These are discussed below having regard to the planning scheme’s outcomes. Front Setback The proposal partly intrudes into the front setback with a short set of stairs located either side of the dual occupancy at 4.6m. These stairs assist pedestrian access to each of the units, are low rise and will not adversely impact the streetscape. Front Landscaped Setbacks The proposal narrows to a 1m strip of landscaping to the site’s frontage to accommodate the proposed driveway and vehicle manoeuvring but then widens out to 6m of landscaping. The proposed layout is consistent with the Driveways and Parking Code outcome and will ensure the manoeuvring area will not dominate the streetscape. Sufficient area is proposed within the side rear and frontage of the property to establish meaningful landscape in natural ground. Additional screening plants have been conditioned in the gardens adjacent the eastern frontage. Banksia integrifolia is a tall species that will assist in anchoring the corners and provide screening of the development from Edward Street. Rear Setback The proposed building intrudes into the 6m rear setback with the lower level eave setback 5.2m and the upper level eave setback 5.7m for their full length. The applicant submits that the lower level is a minor encroachment and is warranted as the elevation faces wests and wide eaves provide shading to the building. The building is also setback 6.79m exceeding the 6m minimum setback. It is agreed that the proposed rear setbacks meets the specific outcome, as it will not impact adversely on neighbours amenity, and still allows space and landscaping between buildings. Garages The proposal presents 4 garages across the site’s frontage, setback 6.3m from Edward Street and located 0.3 metres forward of the proposed upper floor. The applicant submits that the garage doors comply with the outcomes specified in AO15 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as they are no more than 50% of the site’s frontage and are separated by 2 metres. The applicant also suggests they meet PO15 because the doors are vertical timber look battening and are more of an architectural feature. The Acceptable outcomes of the Code requires the following: AO15.1 Garage doors that face the street are no more than 6 metres in width or 50% of the frontage, whichever is the lesser. AO15.2 Where multiple garages face the street, they are separated by a minimum of 2 metres or are staggered in setback by a minimum of 1 metre. The proposed garage doors are both less than 6m wide being 4.8m wide. Although the garage doors are 2 metres apart, the proposed garages are not separated by 2m being joined and are not staggered. The provision refers to garages and not just the garage doors as suggested by the applicant. Therefore, the proposal is assessed against the corresponding Performance outcome as follows: PO15 Garages, garage doors and carports do not dominate the street or the building design The proposed design is somewhat assisted by the vertical timber look battening but given the garages are set forward of the building façade, and are similarly finished, the garages will still dominate the street and building design. Therefore, further amendment is required to the plans to visually vary the finishes of this lower level to meet this Code requirement. A condition requiring amendment to the plans will be conditioned accordingly. Building Design The proposal does not achieve AO14.1 and PO14 as the design does not sufficiently highlight the individual units, or present as asymmetrical or offset or stagger the dwellings to provide variation in the frontage. Some further variation is also required to the external finish to the southern elevation where the stairs are proposed to provide an interesting built form. Conditions are recommended requiring the plans to be amended to incorporate some additional individual design elements. Privacy The terrace of the upper level unit has been designed to prevent overlooking of the neighbouring properties private open space to the south and north. To the south, this terrace is partly screened by the enclosed stairs with the neighbouring dual occupancy to the south having a highset window. To the north, a privacy screen has been included to prevent overlooking as shown on detailed design perspective 5 exert below. These measures are considered sufficient to maintain privacy for neighbours and prevent overlooking from this upper level terrace. cONSULTATION Referral Agencies Not Applicable Internal Council Referrals The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment: Development Engineer conclusion & reasons for decision The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme, subject to a number of amendments to the plans to provide greater interest in the building’s presentation to the street and surrounding area. Further, while the plans appear to have a roof pitch of 5 degrees this is not identified on the plans and requires clarity. The application is therefore recommended for approval with amendments required to the plans. The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
