OBJECTION to Application Reference: 51938.3225.14

Unit 9-10/30 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads, Lot 30 on SP307674



Objection by Consiliarius Septimus Nominees Pty Ltd, owner of unit 21, The Hastings, 30 Hastings
Street, Noosa Heads, 4567, Queensland.



We note in the pre lodgement notes Glen Conforti the Development Planner makes note:' 3. The
impact of the development on the general amenity (i.e. Privacy/overlooking) of all surrounding
dwelling units and the whole development should be considered.' It is our belief that this has not
been addressed adequately or proven in the plans and documents provided. The 1:200 Overviewing
Diagrams Drawing No. SD.951 by Gerard Smith Design do not show enough detail at that scale or
dimensions to prove any privacy or overlooking details. We would need to see 1:20 or 1:50 diagrams
showing dimensions of existing window sills and header heights, existing awnings and dimensions,
heights of diagrammatic humans, heights of new floor levels and setbacks and details of proposed
privacy screens to establish what actual privacy impacts and overlooking is occurring.

 'Operable timber screens for privacy' shown on the proposed drawings do not comply with QDC
MP1.1 Design and Siting Standards for Single Detached Housing on lots under 450sqm which states
they must be a maximum 25% opening. Nor do they comply with Noosa Plan 2020 Safety and
Amenity P021 acceptable outcome A021.4 requiring screens to be 1.7m permanently fixed screening
to avoid potential to overlook private open space or habitable windows within 10m.

Also the notes referring to unit 21 having existing obscure glazing is completely incorrect. These
windows have clear glazing and thus can be seen into and are NOT obscured. We have no desire to
obscure our glass as it would limit natural light which not only gives natural light amenity to those
rooms but the hallways they also feed.

Please refer to the Attachment E Assessment against Noosa Plan 2020 - Tourist Accommodation
Zone Code. When reading the Assessment provided as a part of the application we object to and do
not believe the Performance Outcomes have Acceptable Outcomes where the application
assessment shows the proposal complies in these particular sections:

-P09 Building Height states the built form must ....(c) preserve the amenity of surrounding premises
including privacy, views and access to sunlight. We understand the 15m maximum height has been
met but balconies on 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors do not preserve privacy to existing windows or
surrounding private open spaces of especially unit 8. The 14.2m height shows an increase in shade
and thus access to sunlight to unit 21 in the Dec 21st shadow study. The facade at unit 21 is in
shadow at 4pm on the existing plans but the proposed plan puts half of that facade in shadow from
3pm.

-P013 Setbacks states buildings should be designed and sited to...(a) provide a high level of
amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including provision of visual and
