MCU19.0030 217 Gympie Trce Submission

The above requirements are the same under Table 1.3 for a Multiple Housing
Type 4 – Conventional use.

The proposed development has the following side boundary setbacks:
   • Basement - west 3.5m and east side 3m;
   • Level 1 - 3.5m and east 3m;
   • Level 2 & 3 - west 5.7m, 3m, 3.5m and 2.8m to terrace and east 3m and
      3.5.

Consequently, the proposed development provides inadequate side boundary
setbacks, not being half the height of the building at any point. These reduced
building setbacks, in particular at the third level, will has a significant impact
upon the amenity of adjoining residential properties. While it is acknowledged
the applicant has taken steps to reduce the impact and improve view lines near
the south western corner, this is inadequate. There is no reason why the
proposal cannot fully comply with the required building setbacks given the site is
not significantly constrained.

With respect to the rear boundary setback, the proposed development is to have
a 6m building setback for levels 1 and 2 and 8m to the third level. The proposed
development has a 6.2m setback to the lift, stairs and terrace area for all levels
and does not comply. Having regard to specific outcome O9, the proposed
development:
   • does not preserve amenity for users of premises in terms of visual
      amenity of adjoining premises; and
   • does not provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses.

Because of the reduced building setbacks to the east, west and south, the
proposed development has not been designed and sited to not unreasonably
diminish the existing sunlight to the adjoining residences and associated private
open space areas in accordance with specific outcome O14 of the Residential
Uses Code. Further, the proposed design of the dwelling units does not ensure
the visual privacy of residents of the development and neighbouring properties is
protected as required by O13. It is requested that additional measures be taken
to prevent overlooking into the property at 7 Elizabeth Street.

The proposed development does not comply with many provisions under the
Noosa Plan in particular building setbacks. This will have a significant adverse
impact upon the amenity of adjoining residents in terms of loss of sunlight,
views and general amenity.

It is requested that the proposed development be required to meet all
requirements of the Noosa Plan or otherwise the application should be refused.

Yours faithfully
