The proposed development is two (2) storeys where there is no overlap between garage and
entry at the basement level, the kitchen at the lower level and the master bedroom at the upper
level.

The definition of a storey under the Noosa Plan 2006 is as follows:

       Storey means that space within a building which is situated between one floor level
       and the floor level next above, or if there is no floor above, the ceiling or roof above and
       includes a space for the accommodation of vehicles, any such space that exceeds a
       vertical dimension of 5.0m comprises more than one (1) storey.

As demonstrated by Extract 5, the basement level is located immediately below the patio on
the lower level and the deck on the upper level, neither of which are “within a building”.

A building is defined under the Noosa Plan 2006 as “a fixed structure that is wholly or partly
enclosed by walls and is roofed, and includes any part of a building”.

The proposed development does not involve a partial or full three (3) storey component as
defined by the Noosa Plan 2006.

In addition, the Eastern Beaches Locality Plan Code requires earthworks and retaining
address the sloping topography of the site.
