3         Proposed Development
3.1       Pre-lodgement Meeting
6.        A Pre-lodgement Meeting was held on 16 August 2022 with Noosa Council’s Town Planning and
          Engineering staff, in which in-principle support was given for the proposal.

7.        Overall, the proposed building design and site layout were supported by Council, inclusive of the
          proposed second driveway crossover to Olivine Lane. Council, however, raised issues with the use of
          particular building materials, including stonewall cladding. As such, these aspects have been removed
          from the building design and replaced with lightweight timber/cladding features that better represent
          the traditional Queensland vernacular and the rural town character of Cooroy. Further, Council sought a
          greater extent of roof overhang (600mm eaves) to be incorporated into the design and emphasised the
          importance of meeting the setback, plot ratio and site coverage outcomes prescribed by the planning
          scheme. The lodged design achieves full compliance in this regard, as clearly demonstrated by the
          Proposal Plans prepared by Ausmar Homes in Appendix 2.

8.        Council also detailed the requirement for frontage works and a 2 metre wide land dedication to Olivine
          Lane. It is proposed to fulfill this obligation, with Civil Engineering drawings for the required roadworks
          to be submitted under a subsequent Operational Works application. Finally, changes to the location of
          the visitor car park have been made in response to Council feedback, in which Council suggested adopting
          the outcome approved for #33 Tewantin Road to the north. This included locating the visitor parking bay
          within the front landscape buffer area adjacent to Olivine Lane.


3.2       Proposal Overview
9.        Please refer to the Proposal Plans prepared by Ausmar Homes in Appendix 2. It is proposed to construct
          three (3) Multiple Dwelling units onsite, comprising a detached Dwelling unit fronting Tewantin Road and
          two (2) attached Dwellings fronting Olivine Lane. All units will be constructed over two (2) storeys, with
          three (3) bedrooms, ample private open space and two (2) garaged resident car spaces each. A visitor car
          park will be provided adjacent to the Olivine Lane street frontage.

10.       Tables 2 and 3 below provide an overview of the key development parameters associated with the
          development and confirms that the development complies with the key Acceptable Outcomes of the
          relevant Planning Scheme codes.
