TOWN PLANNING REPORT 2016 Ver A

Proposal Report Proposed Material Change of Use of Premises for Multiple Housing – Type 4 Conventional (37 Units) over land
at 12 & 14 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads described as lots 7 & 8 on SP195871
Applicant:          CBD Settlers Cove Pty Ltd


      •   Level 3 which provides 4 x 3 bedroom units including an office
      •   Level 4 which provides 3 x 3 bedroom units including an office

All units have a front and rear balcony and are accessible by stair and lift. A communal gym, pool,
grassed terrace and bbq pavilion are provided at the front of the site.

The combination of a more severe east-west aspect to the previous stages, plus the desire for alternative
built forms has prompted a balcony treatment to each of the main facades that offers less balustrade
glass and less exposure to the elements. Screening treatments have also been proposed, both within the
balcony façade and, as a means of softening the facades, to the face of the buildings, allowing northerly
sunlight to penetrate in the winter months.

The nature of the balcony treatments seeks to lift the eastern facades relative to the Iluka & Emerald
buildings to the east, whilst emphasise the lower three levels to the western facades, with the uppermost
floor set well back, so that when viewed from ground level, the western façade will appear less bulky than
its elevation might suggest.

Roof forms to level 4 have been varied, with higher internal ceiling volumes and clerestory windows being
sought, with balcony roofs falling back towards the building to avoid the need for unsightly eaves gutters
and external down pipes. To the western facade in particular, this will combine with the balcony
treatments to offer a distinct change to the architectural appearance of the previous stages, whilst
maintaining a similar extent of built-form and bulk.

As with the existing approvals over Lots 7 & 8, no roof terraces are proposed.

6.2       Vehicular Access and Parking
Vehicular access to the Site will be from Serenity Close and comprises of a curved access driveway
providing separate ingress and egress to each of the buildings. Four visitor parking spaces are provided
at the front of the Site off the access driveway, which leads directly to the basement carparking areas.

As indicated above, a total of 84 car bays will be provided on site.

Pedestrian access to the proposed resort will be provided by the existing footpath system located in
Serenity Close. Secondary pedestrian access paths exist to the south and west.

6.3       Intent of Landscaping and other Associated Development Works
A detailed landscaped design will be prepared in accordance with the proposed building and design plans
of the development and submitted as part of a future development application for operational works
(landscaping). Attention will be paid to the approved Landscape Master Plan that was prepared for the
Settler’s Cove development.

Other development works will include building works, plumbing and drainage works, and operational
works for stormwater drainage and driveway and access construction. These works will be the subject of
detailed design and the lodgement of formal development applications to the Council once the
development permit for material change of use of premises takes effect.

6.4       Stormwater Management
Rainwater storage tanks shall be located in each basement to collect roof water for landscaping use and
swimming pool top-up. Once full theses tanks will discharge into stormwater retention pits on the lower
side of each site, where landscape reticulation will be limited, helping to maintain groundwater recharge
as evenly as possible.

6.5       Waste Management
As with the previous stages, garbage chutes in every lift lobby will allow residents to dispose of waste
simply and conveniently. Below each garbage chute, a refuse store allows for the storage of commercial
sized plastic bins, which a caretaker / manager employed by each respective body corporate will transfer
to the street for collection.
