1. PROPOSAL

This application seeks a development permit for works associated with a new Dwelling house, to
be assessed under the Noosa Plan 2020.

The proposal involves the construction of a contemporary two-storey, four-bedroom dwelling, as
illustrated by Figure 3. At ground level, the dwelling will maintain vehicle access from both street
frontages, consistent with the current arrangement. A relaxation of the frontage setback to Oriole
Avenue is proposed to accommodate a combination of fencing and stairs which will provide access
to an Outdoor dining gazebo within the setback.

Survey data provided by the applicant indicates that the existing dwelling has a floor level of RL
7.28. The proposed ground floor level at RL 7.3 is consistent with the established ground level
without requiring significant earthworks. The north-west corner of the site will be excavated and
retained to create an open car parking space approximately 4 metres wide and 7 metres long. The
proposed dwelling is less than 8.0 metres above ground level.

While the proposed dwelling would typically be considered accepted development and not require
a development permit, an application is triggered due to non-compliance with one or more relevant
acceptable outcomes. These outcomes are identified as assessment benchmarks for “accepted
development subject to requirements.” namely:

e DBW-AO‘16.2 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code (width of parapet wall); and

The development proposal also triggers concurrence agency referral to Council due to non-
compliance with one or more alternative provisions to the Queensland Development Code
assessment benchmarks of the Low Density Residential Zone Code, namely:

e ERR_ -AO9.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code (building setback involving a corner
lot).

The site is currently improved with two crossovers (one to each frontage) and has operated in this
configuration for many years. The existing crossover to Landrail Street is not lawfully approved
and therefore as part of this application the applicant also requests Operational Works to gain the
necessary approval to enable use of the driveway.

The locality and proposal plan are included below.
