PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      08 AUGUST 2017


            Assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment
            and prior to any occupation of the building. All equipment should be operating at the
            same time to test the overall noise level created, with the measurement location at
            either the residential boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building
            - whichever is the closest to the plant/equipment.
            The certification must be submitted to Council, which certifies that operational noise
            from any fixed plant and equipment complies with the requirements of this Decision
            Notice.
B.    Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite conflict with the
      Planning Scheme:
      1.    The multiple dwelling use is existing on the site.
      2.    The development will provide centrally located small dwelling units with access to
            Tewantin’s facilities and services.
      3.    The development’s small dwelling units will increase residential housing options in the
            locality and are likely to be relatively affordable.
      4.    There is no identified need for further community or infrastructure facilities within
            Tewantin and the development will not unduly constrain land available for commercial
            or community uses consistent with the site’s zoning provisions.

REPORT
1.    PROPOSAL
The application seeks development approval for a Material Change of Use for a Multiple Dwelling
– Type 4 Conventional for 10 residential units and Commercial Business Type 1 - Office and Type
2- Medical. The applicant intends to demolish the existing buildings on site and redevelop the site
for a mixed use development that will comprise four separate buildings over a partially buried
carpark that extends across the entire site. The residential units are to be located in one building
located to the northern rear part of the site with three commercial buildings located to the Doonella
Street frontage.
The ground floor of the development extends over both lots and comprises a partially buried
carpark that includes parking for 54 vehicles, bike parking, plant and store rooms. Due to the slope
of the site, the carpark is at ground level at the Doonella Street frontage and significantly buried at
the northern rear boundary of the site.
The commercial component of the development is orientated across the Doonella Street frontage
and comprises three commercial buildings located over the carpark podium and are to be used for
either offices or medical uses. The buildings present as three separate entities and are connected
by stairways and elevated decks. The western and eastern buildings include a pitched roof form
whilst the central building has a skillion roof form to provide views for the units at the rear. External
building materials include FC weatherboard and Matrix Wall System (exterior cladding of a
geometric style), and colorbond roof along with balustrades and screening.
The residential component of the development is located to the rear of the site behind the proposed
commercial buildings and accessed via elevated and ground level pathways and a lift. The units
are two storeys in height with five units located on each floor level. The units comprise two
bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living areas with a combined bathroom and laundry. The units each
have an internal area of approximately 87m2 with two small decks totalling approximately 27m2
that also provide access to a small store and drying area.
The residential building includes a traditional pitched roof form of 7.5 degrees with external
materials comprising FC weatherboard and Colorbond roofing. The figures below illustrate the site
layout and building form. Full proposal plans are included at Attachment 1.
