1.0 Applicants Response to Information Request MCU200008

2. Issue

Not all activities or uses in an industry or commercial zone are of a natural that requires 24-hour
security or a maintenance requirement that justifies personnel to be living on site. Insufficient
information has been provided in the application material to demonstrate the need for an ancillary
dwelling unit for a caretaker’s residence in this location.

Information Required

2. Provide a statement or business plan that details the type of business that is or will be lawfully
operating from Lot 1 on SP170305 describing the activities which justify the need for a caretaker in
residence on the property.

Applicants Response

The tenancy at 1/33 Gateway Drive is currently used by Darren Magee Constructions PTY LTD for
storage of construction materials and company vehicles. In addition, 1/33 Gateway Drive has
experienced attempted break-ins. In response, Darren Magee Constructions proposes a caretaker’s
unit to enable the owner or an employee the opportunity to occupy the tenancy over a 24-hour period
and provide security for the tenancy. The caretakers unit is not proposed for use by anyone not related
to the existing business use. This is consistent with either number of existing caretaker units within
the Noosaville industrial area approved by Noosa Council to this point.




3. Issue

The site which is the subject of the application comprises one (1) lot on part of the building format
plan within a community titles scheme and therefore cannot be considered in isolation without regard
to the premises as a whole. The carparking proposed to be allocated to the ancillary dwelling unit is
located in the common property of the community titles scheme. Further, the submitted material fails
to provide information or evidence to confirm if any other dwelling unit currently exists within any
other building format lot in the scheme.

Information Required

1 SP170305 and Lot 0 SP170305 to the making of the application.

4. Provide written confirmation from the Body Corporate for the community titles scheme applicable
to Lot 1 SP170305 and Lot 0 SP170305 identifying if any other ancillary dwelling units for caretaker’s
residence is/ are located within the community titles scheme.
