PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                7 SEPTEMBER 2021


2.    SITE DETAILS
2.1   Background
A development permit for a Material Change of Use for 2 x Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex and
Operational Works (Access, Stormwater, and Landscaping) over 2 lots was issued on 4 June 2018.
A Minor Change application was approved on 27 August 2019. The change related to reducing the
width of the stormwater easement which runs east to west across the common boundary of the
adjoining 2 lots.
2.2   Site Description
Both lots are rectangular in shape and combined provide a square site. Each lot is provided with a
vehicle access, centrally joined to a common driveway between the 2 duplexes. The land is generally
flat and filled to meet minimum floor levels to address the site’s flooding. Two recently constructed
duplexes exist on each site.
2.3   Surrounding Land Uses
North: Multiple dwellings directly adjoin the site, with The Islander Noosa Resort approximately
       80m from the subject site
South: Older style multiple dwellings which have use rights for both short term and long term
       accommodation
West: Multiple dwellings (both short and long term accommodation) and at the end of Sylvia Street
       is Coral Beach Resort (approx. 150m from the subject site)
East: The site directly adjoins the District Centre Health and Well Being Precinct where Short
