NOOSA DUNES GUIDELINES FOR BUILDING WORKS
(NOOSA DUNES CTS 26506)
The Body Corporate Committee has an obligation to help maintain the integrity of the Estate by
approving proposed construction prior to the commencement of Council approval and building work.
This is a method of protecting the property values and the interests of all of the owners within the
Estate. Owners can appreciate that the only way to ensure that buildings are built to a standard
appropriate to the Estate is to seek forewarning of any development plans and for the Body Corporate
Committee as the owners representatives to have the opportunity to review and comment upon the
suitability of the proposed development.
The Body Corporate Committee is of the view that owners are unlikely to erect buildings that are not
in keeping with those that have already been constructed. However, the Committee has an obligation
to all owners within the Estate to ensure that no construction detracts from the property values or from
the general appearance of the Estate.
Assessment of Plans
The Committee requires proof of compliance with current building codes, as well as RL requirements,
building set-backs and natural vegetation zones as set down in the original plans for the Estate.
These requirements are referenced in By-law 24(1) as 1016/1K, and were subsequently recorded by
Council as ACA-1, TPC 2850. In 2008, the estate Plan of Development was one of only five taken up
in the under the Noosa Plan (see Noosa Plan, Schedule 6 reference Marcus Dunes ACA-1,
TPC2850). At this time our Plan of Development was registered by Council as Plan 65, Sheet 1 of 1
which remains identical in all respects to 1016/1K and ACA-1, TPC 2850. Copy of Plan 65, Sheet 1 of
1 is available from Council).
Please note:
A. The Committee is particularly concerned where there are proposed changes to the existing
infrastructure such as a change in the position of the driveway crossover or any item which may
impact on utilities already installed, or any proposed changes to the existing rock retaining walls.
B. The Body Corporate may also seek independent assessment of plans at sole cost to the Body
Corporate. However, Committee reserves the right to pass on the cost of external assessment
caused by a second or more failure of the design to meet the covenants outlined for that specific
Lot on Plan 65 after initial assessment.
C. Please note that plans can only be assessed at the specific request of the Lot owner on record. In
the event that a future owner wishes to have plans approved prior to the close of the sale of the
Lot, the current owner of the Lot must request such review and pay all costs associated with the
review in the event that the sale does not proceed.
D. It is not the intention of the Body Corporate to delay the lodgement of building plans with Council
and/or commencement of construction. The Committee will discuss any issues of concern with the
land owners directly and will work to resolve any issues that it thinks may compromise common
property or community interests. Matters will be resolved as amicably and promptly as possible.
E. If any external aspect of the plans are changed in any way post Body Corporate approval, they
updated plans must be resubmitted to the Body Corporate for review prior to commencement of
construction.
