                     There are some omissions in the site cover calculations in the DA.
                     Items missing are:
                            - Outbuildings including the pool pavilion and covered viewing platform
                           (see definition below13 - "includes roofed outbuildings")
                            - Stair and entry for the Reed Beach Houses

                     The Developer needs to resubmit the calculations incorporating omitted items
                     because the overall site cover is listed as 39% in the DA but with them
                     included it probably goes over the 40% level.

                     PBCAI notes that these “these calculations have been made based on the
                     overall site area” and ignore the application for reconfiguration which results in
                     26 small house lots which range in size from 160 to 248M2. On that basis site
                     cover, gross floor area or plot ratio are excessive and non-compliant.

                     Plot ratio14 means the gross floor area divided by the area of the site. PBCAI
                     submits that in calculating the Site Cover, Gross Floor Area and Plot Ratio
                     each of these 26 housing lots need to individually examined and the results
                     calculated.

                               5.5.1.5 Effects of Use – Probable Solution S75.1 and Specific Outcome
                               O76

                               157. The proposed development does not comply with Probable
                               Solution S75.1 of the code, as the proposed development is not
                               for a Caravan Park. (Highlighting added)

                               158. Despite this, the proposed development complies with Specific
                               Outcome O75 of the code, as the development provides for low cost
                               accommodation needs.

                     PBCAI queries where it is proposed to provide this low cost accommodation in
                     the development when the developer intends to sell the Houses in the
                     housing estate for more than the documented median house price of
                     $695,000 in the Peregian Beach area.15

                     13 Excerpt from Noosa Plan: "site cover means the proportion of a site covered

                     by all buildings and structures shown as a percentage. For enclosed spaces
                     this includes the area within the outside wall and for unenclosed spaces this
                     includes the area measured along a line 600mm in from the perimeter of the
                     roof. Site cover includes garages and other roofed outbuildings, but does not
                     include landscape structures such as in-ground pools and decks."

                     is a significant gap in the residential market within Peregian Beach, which has
