Proposed New Single Detached Dwelling - 52 Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads

 

Roof Form
We request a relaxation of the Noosa Town Plan's minimum 600mm roof overhang based on the following:

There are two areas of the proposed residence which do not have a minimum 600mm roof overhang.

1) The Western side of the garage (approximately 9 metres in length):
The Western Garage wall is 20mm off the side boundary, and comprises of concrete filled blockwork
which will provide sufficient acoustic and solar insulation. The garage, by having openings at both ends
enables cross ventilation and is separated from habitable zones of the dwelling to prevent unwanted solar
gain from affecting the residence.

2) The South-Eastem end of the Courtyard (approximately 3.2 metres in length)
The design of the building means that this side of the courtyard will be largely protected from the sun. The
established tree that will be planted in the courtyard and the overhangs of the roofs above provide
additional shelter.

Building Character

With the exception of the above two areas, a key element of the proposed building is generous roof overhangs,
facilitating sustainable climate control and creating a sub-tropical character. The two main roofs maintain a
minimum overhang of at least 900mm (maximum of 1800mm excluding Deck 4, which is larger again). Overhangs
of up to 3000mm to habitable areas encourage use of outdoor areas and provide sun protection exceeding the
preferred outcomes of the Noosa Plan.
