Pivotal Perspective Pty Ltd 16 July 2018 Glen Conforti Development Planner Noosa Council [email protected] RE: MCU18/0100 – Response to Information Request – 16 Plover St, Peregian Beach (1/P9313) On the 2 July 2018, Council requested further information for regarding issues including setbacks and overlooking. The applicant provides amended plans (Revision B, dated July 18) addressing each of Council’s request items as follows: 1. Please provide amended plans with only the garage and wing walls within the front 6m setback. The upper ground floor bathroom has been redesign and reduced in size to enable the building form (at this location) to include a 6m setback from the front Plover Street boundary. This enables a wider landscape terrace area at the entry from Plover Street. Initial Design Proposed Changes The parapet extending along the frontage of the garage has also been redesigned and shortened in length. This allows for increased landscaping in front of the building and relief in the length of horizontal banding elements. Initial Design Proposed Changes The design enhances the existing built form pattern of the streetscape and allows for increased landscaping within the frontage - consistent with the corresponding Specific Outcomes of the Detached House code. 2. Reduce any areas within the southern 1.5m side boundary setback to less than 1m above the NGL and reduce the height of the fence. Building encroachments along the southern boundary include a landing, stairs and spa pool, which are above 1m in height relative to natural ground level. Each of the elements are slightly above the natural ground level of the sloping site. The architect has amended the design to lower the building elements along the southern boundary, as shown below.

Initial Design Proposed Changes
The reduction in the height of the landing and pool level results in the landing generally
complying with the max 1m height of structures along the boundary, mitigating the need
for a handrail. The reduced height of the pool also does not disrupt the architectural design
intent to allow for a seamless view from the pool over the landing. There are also
substantial opportunities for landscaping between buildings and fencing area for
splashback fencing compliant with the building code.
The proposed changes reduce any opportunities for overlooking into the neighbouring
building and allow for landscaping opportunities between buildings, consistent with the
Specific Outcomes of the Detached House code.
3. Please provide privacy screens to the balcony to mitigate overlooking of the
neighbouring open space.
Floor to ceiling stacking screens have been provided along the length of the southern
boundary. This element provides for increased privacy to both houses and reduces any
overlooking opportunities into the adjoining neighbours private open space.
A counter-levered deck is also provided along the rear boundary extending 1m in to the
rear coastal setback. This deck is designed to be recessed to not obstruct views from the
neighbouring dwelling open space areas. These changes address Council’s requirement
for the use of privacy screening devices.
The revised design addresses Council’s information request. In accordance with section
13.3 of the DA Rules please proceed with the assessment of the code assessable
application. If you have any further queries in relation to the above, please do not hesitate
to contact myself.
