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.
