                                         Figure 4: Landscaping within front setback


Item 7
  The creation of the stairs in front setback at a height well above natural ground level is
  not supported. All other access ways on that side of the road all step
  down. Opportunities for meaning landscaping is also limited.

Response
The design of the entryway has been revised in order to further setback the stairs. The
stairs have been further setback which will serve to minimise the visual impact from the
street. The stairs are proposed to be setback is 3.58m from the front boundary.

We note that the landscaping, as proposed, accords with the percentage requirements of
the Noosa Plan.

Item 8
  The visitor space is very tight with regard to the neighbouring garage. Visitor spaces
  generally work well where they run parallel to the road and have at least a 2m wide
  landscaping strip buffering to the street. I understand the current design does not allow
  this, but it needs to be explored with the building design


Response
The visitor space, located beneath the pedestrian entryway, is considered to be the most
suitable location available. Other options were explored however this was still considered
to be the most suitable location when considering accessibility, practicality of resident
parking, retention of landscaping areas, and privacy.
