Advice Required

2. Provide amended plans increasing the rear setback to a minimum of 6m.

Applicant’s Response

In response to Item 2 of Council’s Further Advice, the applicant proposes to maintain the 3m rear setback. It is noted that
the original Decision Notice does not condition a 6m rear setback, however, we acknowledge Council can consider the
current Noosa Plan 2020 whilst assessing an application for Minor Change. It is worthy to note that the adjoining rear
property, situated at 2/16 Solway Drive, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567, likewise included within the Medium Density Residential
Zone, features a structure within 6m of the rear boundary setback, so the proposed 3m rear setback is not inconsistent with
development in the Medium Density Residential Zone.

The proposed 3m rear setback is 3.073m in external length, which is 16.2% of the boundary length. The proposed single
storey addition does not feature windows in the rear, so creates minimal impact to the rear neighbour in the way of shading
etc. and presents no privacy issue without any outlook from windows in that direction. It is noted that there is an existing
pergola in a similar place and size to the proposal, so the change is extremely minor.

In support of maintaining the rear setback, Landscaping Plans have been prepared by Anembo Consultants Pty Ltd, included
at Appendix B, which demonstrate the existing backyard planting schedule to assist with site integration and blending of
building bulk. It is noted that the backyard is currently heavily landscaped, which provides a dense vegetated buffer between
the site and adjoining residential properties.

Issue – Car Parking

The proposed garage extension and visitor car space do not include sufficient detail to fully assess the application. No internal
dimensions for the garage have been provided and the car space appears to be wider than required.

Information Required

3. Provide the internal dimensions of the garage and demonstrate that the proposed works will be in accordance with
   AS/NZS2890.1:2004.

Applicant’s Response

In response to Item 3 of Council’s Further Advice, please refer to the amended Design Plans prepared by Kieron James Design
included at Appendix C, which show the internal dimensions of the proposed garage extension.

It should be noted that the proposed garage extension is intended to continue functioning as a single garage. Contour
Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd have undertaken an Engineering Assessment of AS/NZS2890.1:2004 to determine that the
proposed works are generally in accordance with the standards.

4. The proposed car space appears to be wider than required and wider than AS/NZS2890.1:2004. Provide justification for
   the proposed width.

Applicant’s Response

In response to Item 4 of Council’s Further Advice, Council are advised that the proposed visitor car space is designed to a
width of 4m to accommodate the turning movements of a B99 vehicle, as demonstrated by the Engineering Assessment,
Plan No.: 3548 – SK02, prepared by Contour Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd included at Appendix D.

5. Provide vehicle swept path plans for both the garage and the car space. The swept path must be for a B99 vehicle as
   described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004 and assume that the adjoining space in the garage is occupied.




                                                               2

Applicant’s Response

In response to Item 5 of Council’s Further Advice, the proposed extended garage will continue to function as a single garage,
therefore a compliant swept path plan has been provided for a single B99 vehicle, as demonstrated by the Engineering
Assessment, Plan No.: 3548 – SK02, prepared by Contour Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd included at Appendix D.

A review of the Noosa Plan 2020 indicates that the requirements for off-street parking spaces for a Dual Occupancy are two
(2) covered spaces and one (1) uncovered space (three (3) spaces total). The existing parking spaces at the property are two
(2) covered and two (2) uncovered spaces. The current parking arrangement will be maintained post development.
Therefore, the proposed extended garage has no requirement to function as a double garage.

Issue – Stormwater Management

There is no detail included to demonstrate where stormwater runoff from the garage and the new hardstand will be
controlled, directed, and discharged.

Information Required

6. Provide additional detail on where stormwater runoff from the garage and the new hardstand will be controlled, directed,
   and discharged. Please note that runoff must not be directed on to any adjoining property.

Applicant’s Response

In response to Item 6 of Council’s Further Advice, Contour Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd conducted a site visit and review of
stormwater runoff under the existing conditions and the proposed post developed conditions.

Under the existing conditions, roof water discharges to existing kerb adaptors in Parkedge Road. Stormwater runoff from
the driveway and surrounding surfaces generally falls toward a stormwater pit within the existing driveway and outlets to an
existing stormwater manhole in Parkedge Road.

Under post development conditions the stormwater runoff will continue to function as in the pre-development state. Roof
water will discharge via the existing kerb adaptors in Parkedge Road, and the driveway and uncovered parking spaces will
fall toward the internal drainage pit.

Please refer to the Engineering Assessment, Plan No.: 3548 – SK01, prepared by Contour Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd
included at Appendix D.

3.0       SUMMARY

I trust Council will issue a favourable Development Permit in due course and should Council have any questions with respect
to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
