Response to Noosa Plan
Development Application for a Material Change of Use for a Proposed Detached House on 61 Seaview
Terrace, Sunshine Beach.

S14.1 b)          eaves less than 75% of the perimeter
600 - 900 mm wide awnings and pergolas are offered as an alternative to eaves overhangs for shading
to walls and windows. The awnings and eaves constitute 70% of the perimeter of the building, and
pergolas and decks offer additional shading. The unshaded portions of wall are predominantly north
and south facing masonry which have restricted solar gain in summer, and will contribute to evening
heating during the winter months


We request that Council consider the alternative solution offered by the proposal because we believe
the building form will contribute positively to the streetscape while satisfying the environmental
outcomes of shading and shelter for windows and doorways


2     Operational Works - New driveway crossover

The existing driveway is located on the lower side of the site frontage and is currently too steep as
witnessed by the numerous gouge marks in the road. The proposal shows the driveway crossover
moved up the hill to the north which will allow the driveway slope to be reduced.

The existing falls and profile of the road nature strip make it very difficult to comply with the Typical
Profile Driveway Access A-A as shown on standard engineering drawing SEQ R-050 Driveways
Residential Driveway Breakout Type, without extensive cutting of the nature strip. We have included a
drawing showing the complying driveway profile with cut and batter implications.

We request that Council give consideration to a driveway design (shown as `proposed' on drawing DA
304) that follows a similar profile to the driveway adjacent on 63 Seaview Terrace. This will allow it to
follow the nature strip contours with only minor modification.

We look forward to assisting with any queries that you may have

Yours Sincerely




Stephen Guthrie
Director
