4.2       Proposed use and its operations
The proposal is to establish a “dual occupancy” use which is defined in the Noosa Plan as below.

      ‘Dual occupancy -
      (a) means a residential use of premises for 2 households involving –
             (i)  2 dwellings (whether attached or detached) on a single lot or 2 dwellings (whether attached
                  or detached) on separate lots that share a common property; and
            (ii)  any domestic outbuilding associated with the dwellings;
      (b) but does not include a residential use of premises that involves a secondary dwelling.’


It is proposed that the operations include the following:

(a)      Each dwelling will have two covered parking spaces which are accessible from Hilton Terrace and
         vehicles can enter and level the site in forward gear as illustrated by the sweep paths shown on the
         proposal plans.
(b)      The entrance door of each dwelling is legible from the street frontage and the respective pedestrian
         gate.
(c)      Each dwelling clearly has the ability to be used as a self-contain residence and contains food
         preparation facilities, toilets, baths and showers, toilets, washbasins, and facilities for washing clothes.
(d)      Each dwelling has its own private open space which includes its own pool and gazebo.
(e)      No “secondary dwelling” as defined in the planning scheme is proposed.
(f)      There is no current intention is use either dwelling as a “short term accommodation” use as defined in
         the planning scheme.

In summary, the proposed use and operation complies with the above definition for “dual occupancy” use.
