               Plot Ratio
               The proposed increase in plot ratio amounts to approximately 50m2 (an additional 250m2 in total)
               for each enclosed rooftop terrace. While the approved gross floor area is unknown, based on a
               desktop review of the plans and the site’s large area, it is expected that the development would be
               well under the maximum plot ratio allowable for the site.
               Car Parking
               Under the Noosa Plan 2020 the proposed multiple dwelling would require 28 additional covered
               car parking spaces compared with the 1973 planning scheme of 1 covered space per unit and 1
               visitor space per 4 dwellings. This is particularly relevant as the enclosed rooftop terrace area is
               presently used as bedrooms and therefore will result in an increase in car parking demand.
               It is impractical to provide additional parking on site for the 5 units given the development was
               established about 40 years ago. It is also considered unreasonable to require the works to be
               demolished given that the works were constructed at the time of the original development approval
               and so have been in place for a considerable period without complaint.
               A condition is therefore recommended requiring that the enclosed area is not to be used as a
               bedroom which will address any additional parking demand.

               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed changes generally comply with the requirements of the planning scheme and do not
               raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant conditions. The
               application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 83(9) of the Planning Act 2016.
