Attention: Lisa Pienaar
Dear Lisa,
RE: Response to Further Advice in relation to a Minor Change to Approval for a Additions to a
Dwelling House at 36 Seaview Tce Sunshine Beach (Council Reference: (132001.210239.2)
I refer to Council’s Further Issues letter issued on 24 January 2023 in relation to the abovementioned
application.
Please see below a response to the items raised in the request:
Issue – Rooftop Terrace
AO16.3 of the Low Density Residential Zone code seeks that development does not include roof top
terraces. Given the proposal includes a rooftop terrace it must comply with the corresponding
Performance outcome that seeks roof design contributes positively to the streetscape, avoids boxy
elevations, does not present an appearance of bulk, and do not create overlooking opportunities.
The proposed screening/balustrading on the rooftop terrace is over 8 metres from ground level and
does not enhance the existing roof form, creating a boxy section above the existing roof line. The
screening is at 1.4 metres high which is not sufficient enough to prevent overlooking into
neighbouring property. The roof top terrace and associated screening is not supported.
Information Required
1. Provide amended plans that remove the rooftop terrace.
Response
Please see attached amended plans which remove the roof top terrace from the proposal. In lieu of
the terrace, the size of a second storey deck in the southeast corner of the site has been increased.
The deck provides compliant setback to both side boundary and rear boundary to the reserve and
does not introduce any new issues.

Issue – Driveway
Council has concerns with the existing driveway, the proposed driveway works and the existing bin
enclosure. The existing driveway does not appear to comply with the 132001.210239 approved plans
(approximately 7.5m wide at the boundary). The existing and proposal plans indicate a driveway of
approximately 10.5m at the boundary.
It is also noted that:
i. retaining walls exist and are proposed in the road reserve and
ii. the bin enclosure stands partially within the road reserve and partially within the adjacent
reserve area.
Information Required
1. Confirm how the dwelling house extensions will be accessed i.e., additional driveway, parking
area or whether the existing driveway and parking area is to be utilised. Should a new
driveway, parking area be proposed please reflect on the site plan.
2. Provide evidence that the existing driveway, retaining walls and bin store have the relevant
approvals.
3. Provide additional detail (dimensions material etc) on the works proposed to the driveway and
the adjacent retaining walls.
4. Provide detail to demonstrate the need for the retaining structures in the road reserve and
demonstrate that the walls will not impact on the necessary sight lines for vehicles exiting the
driveway.
Response
No new driveways, retaining walls or works within the road reserve are proposed.
Proceeding
This office trusts that the information supplied comprehensively addresses all of the issues relating to
the information request. Should you have any further questions in relation to the proposal, please do
not hesitate to contact the undersigned on 0423 952 928 or via email at [email protected] sincerely,
Marcus Brennan
