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

 

Coastal Protection Region

52 Noosa Parade is situated within the Coastal Protection Precinct Overlay and is the only remaining vacant
property with river frontage.

The river frontage of Noosa Parade is retained by a stone revetment wall to contro! erosion.

We request a relaxation of the Noosa Town Plan’s Coastal Protection Precinct overlay, permitting construction to
occur within the 10m setback from Mean High Water Mark based on the foliowing:

Existing Precedence

The majority of the residences along Noosa Parade are sited within 10m of the mean high water mark. Many have
made stone or blockwork additions to the revetment wall (refer pictures) enabling them to achieve the minimum
floor fevel required by the Noosa Plan. Pools are also often positioned against the revetment wall, in most cases
with a wet edge. Some existing houses look to have terraces that cantilever over the property boundary.

The Existing River Frontage

Established River Frontage

The proposed building maintains the river frontage established by the existing buildings along Noosa Parade.
Similar to many buildings along the river, the stone revetment wall will have a blockwork retaining wall addition,
which will prevent any erosion occurring during and after construction. The retaining wall, within the property
boundaries, enables the proposed house to achieve the minimum floor levels and enables the creation of a terrace
that promotes outdoor living and gives the occupants good access to the water frontage, a specific outcome for the
detached housing zone.
