Town Planning Report                                                                            January 2018


           (i)   The proposed development is sympathetic to its surrounds and responds appropriately to
                 matters of site constraint. Site specific assessments have been provided to support the
                 development context.
           (ii) Lot sizes and dimensions are consistent with and appropriate for their intended purpose
                 and consistent with those existing in the surrounding area.
           (iii) Each of the proposed allotments is of a sufficient size to accommodate a building envelope
                 that achieves standard building setbacks and sufficient bushfire buffering.
           (iv) The proposed reconfiguration is appropriately accessed by extensions to existing roads.
           (v) The proposed reconfiguration seeks to dedicate vast portions of the subject site adjacent
                 an existing waterway corridor to preserve its ongoing value to the community.
           (vi) Each of the proposed allotments are able to be adequately serviced by all urban
                 infrastructure, including water, sewer, electricity and telecommunications.
           (vii) A large portion of the site is to be dedicated to Council for environmental and scenic
                 amenity conservation purposes.
           (viii) Access arrangements have been designed to be consistent with Council requirements.


       (c) Detached House Code – Proposed Lots 2, 3 and 4 are intended to be developed for single
           detached houses. Building controls for future dwelling house construction will generally defer
           to the provision of the Noosa Plan, however to offer an increased level of control around
           environmental protection, individual development controls have been established for each of
           these allotments. These controls provide a clear and concise set of rules to regulate
           development on the created allotments (refer to control plans included at Attachment 3).


       (d) Residential Uses Code – Proposed Lot 1 is intended to be developed for a Multiple Housing –
           Type 4 Conventional Development. The proposed design of this component of the development
           is reflected on the Proposal Plans included at Attachment 3, which clearly demonstrate that the
           building will ‘sit lightly’ in the landscape and will not adversely affect the amenity of the
           surrounding locality and immediately adjacent land uses.


       (e) Driveways and Carparking Code – Proposed Lots 3 and 4 are intended to obtain access from
           the adjacent Viridian Development, whilst proposed lots 1 and 2 are intended to obtain access
           from the Attunga Heights frontage of the lot. Access arrangements are all able to be provided
           in accordance with Council standards. The design of the driveway extension from Attunga
           Heights servicing proposed Lots 1 and 2 is such that it retains significant vegetation on the site,
           including 3 hoop pines towards the western boundary, as well as minimising the extent of cut
           and fill required across the site with slopes being such that waste collection vehicles will be able
           to adequately service the site. Carparking provision is also anticipated as being a rate suitable
