acoustic privacy (b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or
habitable areas of adjoining premises. The current setbacks of east 590mm and 2m to the north
(again we note privacy screens noted but no detail that they are fixed and permanent with 25% max
transparency) do not comply as they allow for overlooking from level 2 at the proposed alfresco to
the Private Open Space of unit 8. Whilst the setback of 590mm to the east also allows for views into
windows of unit 21. (again, we note privacy screens noted but no detail that they are fixed and
permanent with 25% max transparency and on level 1, 2 and 3 on the east they are only partial, not
the full length of balconies with views into these windows)

-P021 Safety and Amenity states the development and design ensures...(b) do not unreasonably
impact on the amenity enjoyed by users of adjoining or nearby premises, including privacy and
access to sunlight. Again and perhaps the most extreme non-compliance performance is P021. We
do not believe the design complies as an acceptable outcome. 3rd floor open area including kitchen
and sittings areas looks directly down onto POS of unit 8. Operable timber screens again do not
comply with A021.4. Similarly privacy screens to eastern elevation levels 1, 2 and 3 allow views into
windows of unit 21. (again we note privacy screens noted but no detail that they are fixed and
permanent with 25% max transparency and on level 1, 2 and 3 on the east they are only partial, not
the full length of balconies with views into these windows)



We ask you to also consider the NCC and Queensland Residential Design Guidelines will apply at
building permit stage. We note that either obscured glazing or privacy screens should firstly be
designed in all areas where direct views within 10m and beyond at a 45 degree angle from the plane
of the wall containing the opening measured from a height of 1.7m above the floor level are into an
adjacent private open space or a habitable space window. The QLD Residential Design Guidelines
state that single detached housing in Element C4 Privacy A1.3 privacy screens must have a maximum
of 25% opening and be permanent and fixed.




Our main objection is for our amenity and ensuring that operable privacy screens are made
permanently fixed with 25% maximum transparency or frosted glazing. They also need to be
extended to all areas of viewing, not just the ones shown on elevations and plans. The screens
shown are 1.5m high, the Noosa Plan 2020 states 1.7m high.

The visual bulk of the front facade is increased dramatically as there are no setbacks, thus
presenting a monolithic structure right on the Community driveway. A new building should take
into account surrounding buildings and not have an increased impact.



Sincerely
