that the front 6 metres is landscaped open space and AO17.1 seeks that the front fence or wall is set back
an average of 1 metre and have a stepped in design.


Information Required by Council
8.      Provided amended plans that comply with the above provisions in Noosa Plan.




Applicant’s Response
The proposed architectural plans have been amended as requested by Council. Refer to Plan No. DD2.1 B
within the Revised Architectural Plans (Attachment 1). A landscaped frontage with a depth of 1.000 metre is
proposed along the eastern boundary. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 which illustrated the proposed setback of
the front fence.

A timber screen gate to the front fence is proposed and provides articulation to the eastern elevation.




Council’s Issue – Driveway
There is a discrepancy between the architectural plans and the engineering plans in regard to the width
and shape of the access driveway.
It is noted that:
i.      due to the narrow verge width, a standard crossover cannot be constructed,
ii.     Edward Street at this location is a “local road” and on-site manoeuvring is not required, and
iii.    Council’s intention is to minimise the extent of hardstand in the road reserve

Information Required by Council
9.      Provide architectural and engineering plans that are consistent in regard to the width and shape of
        the proposed access driveway
10.     Provide amended swept path plans that indicate that vehicles accessing each space can enter and
        exit without encroaching onto the adjoining occupied space or conflict with other structures,
        landscaping etc


Applicant’s Response
9. Refer to the Revised Architectural Plans and Revised Engineering Plans enclosed in Attachments 1 and 2
respectfully. Plan No. OW4.2 and OW4.3 detail the revised driveway design within Attachment 2.

10. An amended swept path plan has been prepared by SCG Engineers. Refer to Plan No. OW5.1 within
Attachment 2.
