Based on the preceding calculation of a maximum 532 persons for Lot 76 on MCH2969 the maximum GFA is
21,280m?

Consequently, the proposed development, based on the planning scheme definitions of GFA for Visitor
Accommodation Type 4 has total GFA of 10,420m?, which is less than 50% of the Specific Outcome O06
GFA under the Eastern Beaches Locality Code.

Height of Visitor Accommodation Type 4

In discussions with Council, the designed height of 4 storeys is not supported. Notwithstanding, Council is
prepared to support 3 storeys, given the recognition by Council that basement carparking is not achievable
given the height of the water table in this locality.

In relation to the 4% storey, it is submitted that Council can favourably consider the current design against
Specific Outcome 04 of Noosa Plan for the following reasons:

* The level differential that occurs between David Low Way and the buildings, resulting in structure
not exceeding the height of existing structures to David Low Way when viewed externally. Therefore
the proposal does not dominate the street or the skyline; and

® The site is surrounded by non-residential uses and therefore does not introduce any ‘reverse
amenity’ considerations (privacy, views and access to sunlight).

Commercial Building

Site Cover

Amendments are being undertaken to the design of the commercial building to achieve a site cover of no
greater than 45%, in order to achieve a floor plate for the 2 levels of 800m? GFA each. The site cover will
exceed that nominated as the acceptable solution under the semi-attached housing zone under the Noosa
Plan, however it is considered that the objective of a domestic scale under the planning scheme is being
achieved. Details of the revised design will be forwarded to Council if in-principle support to the same is
forthcoming.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we are seeking Council's in principle support for the following:

1. The Visitor Accommodation Type 4 as it is presently designed with no adjustment to site cover, GFA or
height;

2. The commercial premises to David Low Way having a GFA of 1600m? over 2 levels (floor plate for each
level being 800m’), with restaurants and shops on the ground floor in equal proportions, and commercial
on the upper floor, and a site cover not exceeding 45%.

Furthermore, we do consider that Council should not dismiss the quantum of submissions received to the
application in evaluating the current design. As Council is aware the application was on public display for
approximately 7 weeks, and during the public notification of the proposal received 3 properly made
submissions. With respect to the properly made submissions there was not detailed content on the design of
the proposed development. It is submitted that given the length of the notification period and the submissions
received, noting there were no commercial submitters that this should be given due weight and consideration.

The Applicant wishes to meet with Mr Weychardt and Ms Coyle to obtain verbal in principle confirmation of
the content of this submission, and further discuss progressing the application. If the in principle support
is forthcoming, the outstanding technical considerations can then be identified and addressed.
