1.0     INTRODUCTION

1.1     OVERVIEW
1.1.1   LandPartners Limited have prepared this report in support of an application for Material Change of Use for Multiple
        Housing over land described as Lot 65 on RP52918 located at 11 Allambi Rise, Noosa Heads.

1.1.2   This report assesses the planning aspects of the proposal against the relevant sections of the Noosa Planning
        Scheme, which are:

               Strategic Framework;
               Desired Environmental Outcomes for the Residential Use class;
               Overall Outcomes for the Noosa Heads Locality;
               Detached Housing Zone;
               Relevant Assessment Criteria; and
               Overlay Codes.
1.1.3   It is proposed that the site which is designated as “Urban” in the Strategic Plan, located within the “Noosa Heads
        Locality” and zoned Detached Housing within the Noosa Planning Scheme will be developed according to the
        classification of “Multiple Housing (Type 4 – Conventional)” as defined within the Noosa Planning Scheme.

1.1.4   The existing house is jointly owned by three families, and utilised as a holiday home throughout the year. The house
        currently contains 6 bedrooms with extensive entertainment areas, balconies and a garage which can accommodate
        4 vehicles. The house is accessed from Allambi Rise via a driveway which is subject to an access easement
        benefiting Lot 3 on RP122368. Please refer to the attached Easement Plan and documents in Appendix C.

1.1.5   Our client has advised the existing house, recently inherited, is jointly owned by three families, which frequently visit
        the property throughout the year. The house is to remain part of the family trust and this application only intends to
        create three multiple units with some minor internal building works so all three families can continue to visit with
        some additional privacy.

1.1.6   The aim of this application is to seek approval for Multiple Housing over the above mentioned site currently improved
        with a detached house. Our client intends to maintain the existing house on the subject site and this application only
        involves minor internal building works needed for the creation of 3 multiple housing units. Please refer to proposal
        plan in Appendix A.

1.1.7   A pre lodgement meeting with Noosa Shire Council took place on the 26th of April 2007. Noosa Shire Council
        acknowledged the proposal was unique and advised they had some concern regarding the access easement in
        particular condition 9 which reads: ”Any redevelopment on Lot 65 on RP52918 must include the removal of the
        existing balcony encroachment on the proposed 3m wide easement of the Plan of Survey and be indicated on the
        Plan of Survey.” As part of this application we wish to advise Council the existing access easement has already
        been enacted in accordance with the existing approval therefore eliminating any opportunity to modify the approval.
        Council’s concerns regarding the term redevelopment and encroachment are not applicable in this case. We direct
        Council’s attention to the easement plan in Appendix C. We note there is no encroachment of a balcony within the
        access easement. We note this survey plan restricts Easement A in height to that part of the land that lies below
        R.L. 46.6AHD which is below the supposed balcony encroachment. To ensure there was no encroachment a
        surveyor was commissioned to ensure the balcony did not encroach. Please find attached a Survey Plan in
        Appendix D illustrating the existing Easement A. We can confirm there is no encroachment within the easement and
        all conditions of the access easement are complied with therefore no influencing this Material Change of Use
        application.

1.1.8   This application requests that Council consider proposal plans prepared by Mandikos Wheeldon Architects in
        Appendix A, and the relevant supporting material in Appendices B to D. This report concludes with the
        recommendation that Council approval is warranted because:

               The proposed development is consistent with the Urban Area designation under the Strategic Plan and the
               Desired Environmental Outcomes of Noosa.
               The proposal is consistent with the Noosa Heads Locality Plan.
