Applicant’s Response
Refer to the Revised Architectural Plans prepared by Tim Ditchfield Architects (Revision C) enclosed within
Attachment 1. An amended design is proposed to the front façade as suggested by Council and is
illustrated below.

The new design clearly demonstrates 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

     •   The doors are separated by 2 metres.

Council’s Issue – Entry Gates
As per item 2 of the information request, the entry pergolas are located in the front and side setbacks. This
results in less area for landscaping. The front 6m has a large amount of hardstand and additional structures
in the front and side setback is not supported.

Information Required by Council
2.       Provide amended plans the remove the entry gates in the required setbacks and provide landscaping
         in its place.


Applicant’s Response
The design of the entry gates has been revised. The entry gates have been setback into the site’s front
landscaped area, and the pergolas have been removed.

Council’s Issue - Side Setback of Roof
As per item 4 of the Information Request, the proposed setback still does not comply with AO12.1 of the
Medium Density Residential zone code. The extent of overhang contributes to the extent of the beam
across the frontage and across the garaging, a design which is not considered typical of Noosaville.

Information Required by Council
3.      Provide amended plans that comply with AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential zone code as it
        cannot be considered to comply with corresponding PO 12.

Applicant’s Response
The proposed architectural plans have been revised to further increase the setback from the side boundaries.
Refer to Drawing DD2.1C which illustrates a 2-metre setback from the side boundaries. The revised boundary
setbacks are shown Figures 2 and 3 below.
