                     11.6 Summary
                     PBCAI considers that the lack of proper consideration of the above matters
                     constitute a serious deficiency in the application and further grounds for it to
                     be rejected.

                     12. Architectural and Associated Design Issues

                     PBCAI notes a significant numbers of material issues with the architectural
                     design.

                     12.1 The Reed Beach Houses - secondary dwelling units
                     While PBCAI realizes that the developer has provided a physical linkage from
                     each secondary dwelling to the main dwelling unit, the fact still remains that
                     the secondary dwelling can be locked off and separately occupied. If this
                     occurs the secondary dwelling will require a separate carpark, which will not
                     be available if the present DA is approved.

                     Adams + Sparkes page 17 para 37 states:

                               House Type 3 (the Reed Beach House) contains a Primary Dwelling
                               and Secondary Dwelling, with the Primary Dwelling component
                               including a kitchen, living, dining area and outdoor area on the ground
                               level and 3 bedrooms (master with ensuite) and a bath room on the
                               first level. The Secondary Dwelling component is located on the first
                               level and utilises a secondary access point. The Secondary Dwelling
                               includes a living area, kitchen and bathroom. Each of the Secondary
                               Dwellings will be on the same title as the detached dwelling and will be
                               less than 35m2 in size.

                     PBCAI submits that there is clear evidence that the Reed Beach Houses were
                     always and still are meant to contain a Primary Dwelling and Secondary
                     Dwelling and that the provision of an interconnecting door between the
                     Primary Dwelling and Secondary Dwelling does not alter this. The Secondary
                     Dwelling is completely self-contained and has separate access.

                     PBCAI submits that these units should be required to have separate carparks
                     for each Secondary Dwelling.

                     Secondary dwelling is defined in the Noosa Plan17 and “means a dwelling
                     used in conjunction with, and subordinate to, a detached house on the same
                     lot. A secondary dwelling may be constructed under a detached house, be
                     attached to a detached house or be free standing. For clarity a detached
                     house could not include more than one secondary dwelling.”

                     Self-contained is defined in the Noosa Plan18 and means containing at least
                     a bathroom, toilet, kitchen and one habitable room. The Secondary dwellings
