Town Planning Report                                                                             January 2018


         proposed multiple dwelling building. Future houses on the detached housing lots will be required
         to undergo building approval to ensure compliance with the approved development control plan,
         Noosa Plan and relevant building legislation at the time. The unit buildings are proposed to
         incorporate muted tones and materials to ensure the built form presentation is responsive to the
         landscape.


     (c) Site Cover – The proposed development has a site coverage of approximately 2,357sqm, which
         equates to approximately 31.4% of the 7,507sqm site. This is considered a low site coverage that
         will assist in maintaining the treed and green presentation of Noosa Hill. A large proportion of the
         site is proposed for environmental protection either via dedication or environmental covenants.


     (d) Setbacks – The proposed multiple dwelling provides the following setbacks:


             A minimum road front setback of 14 metres;
             A minimum side boundary setback of 2 metres to the southern boundary of the unit allotment
              and 5 metres to the northern boundary of the unit allotment;
             A minimum rear setback of 10 metres to the unit allotment.


     (e) Private Open Space – The proposed development has been designed to incorporate generous
         areas of private open space for each dwelling unit. Useable decks are provided at each level of the
         apartments. Deck areas have been oriented to address areas of open space. A drying court is also
         provided in each of the units to provide a screened area of clothes drying space separate to the
         private open space for each unit. A number of mature trees are proposed to be retained around
         the proposed units to add to the leafy character of the proposed development. Opportunities are
         identified on the plans for a number of the units to incorporate a swimming pool which will create
         additional recreation area. Whilst no dedicated communal open space area is intended for the
         proposed development the generous amounts of private open space coupled with the high level of
         pedestrian connectivity of the site and availability of recreational facilities in the surrounding area
         is considered sufficient to ensure the open space requirements of residents are accommodated.


     (f) Refuse Collection and Storage – Two bin storage and collection areas are proposed for the multiple
         dwellings, with one being located at the Attunga Heights entry to the development and the second
         being centrally located within the development. The bin enclosures are strategically located so that
         the bins can be readily accessed by residents of the proposed development. The driveway has also
         been designed in accordance with Council requirements to ensure that a waste collection vehicle
         is able to enter and manoeuvre through the site for waste collection.
