Dear Sir/Madam,

RESPONSE TO FURTHER ADVICE REQUEST
PROPOSED MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR A MULTIPLE DWELLING OF 4 UNITS AND
OPERTIONAL WORKS LOCATED OVER LOTS 3 AND 4 ON RP72986 AND LOCATED AT 30 AND
32 JAMES STREET NOOSAVILLE

I refer to the above application and your Further Advice correspondence dated 6th May 2021 which requested
revised plans. The applicant provides the following response to Councils request:

Item 1: Provide amended plans that comply with a maximum 40% site cover. This is calculated at a
birds eye view – not per level.

Applicant’s Response to Item 1: Please refer to Attachment A which provides a plan of site cover
calculations for the site. The plan details the area of the site covered by the building in accordance with
the Noosa Plan definition of site cover.

       site cover of development, means the portion of the site, expressed as a percentage, that will be
       covered by a building or structure, measured to its outermost projection, after the development is
       carried out, other than a building or structure, or part of a building or structure, that is—
              a) in a landscaped or open space area, including, for example a gazebo or shade structure
              or;
              b) a basement that is completely below ground level and used for car parking; or
              c) the eaves of a building; or
              d) a sun shade.

In accordance with the Noosa Plan, site cover is not to exceed 40% which equates to a total of 787.2m2.
The project designer has reviewed the plans and excluded eaves from the calculations in accordance
with the site cover definition and confirms that the building covers 768.57m2 which equates to a site
cover of 39%.


Item 2: Provide amended plans that comply with the minimum landscaping requirements in Noosa
Plan.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: Please refer to Attachment B which provides revised landscape plans
for the site and includse increased soft landscaping along the northern boundary and at the rear of the
site due to the removal of the additional caparking space. Landscaping now complies with Council
requirements.
