5.      ADVICE & INFORMATION

Patrick Murphy – Coordinator Planning - Comments
1.      The proposed development consists of 8 x 3 bedroom dwelling units over 2 existing lots
        at 25 and 27 Toolar Street Tewantin. The land use is categorised as Multiple Dwellings
        – Type 4 Conventional and requires a Development Permit for Material Change of Use.
        The use is a consistent use which is subject to impact assessment. The application will
        be assessed by a planning officer who will make a recommendation to Council, with
        Councillors making the final decision on the application.
2.      It is noted that the proposal complies with site cover, building height and front and rear
        setbacks however does not comply with population density, plot ratio or side setbacks.
        The areas of non-compliance are addressed below.
3.      Within the Attached Housing Zone the permissible population density is 100 persons per
        hectare, the site is 2,020sqm in area and therefore the permitted population density is
        20.2 persons. The proposed 8 x 3 bedrooms dwelling units equals a population density
        of 26.4 which is unlikely to be supported.
4.      The permissible plot ratio is the maximum population x 40sqm = 808sqm. Notation on
        the proposed plans detail that the proposed plot ratio is 910sqm which is unlikely to be
        supported.
5.      The Noosa Plan requires that the side setbacks of the development are half the building
        height. Whilst details of the exact building heights have not been confirmed it appears
        that the development does not comply with the minimum side setbacks. It is
        recommended that the application be amended to comply with the minimum side
        setbacks.
6.      Car parking
The Noosa Plan has the following car parking requirements for the proposed use:
        For single bedroom dwelling units or those less than 75m2—1 covered space per
        dwelling unit; AND
        For 2 bedroom dwelling units or those between 76m2 and 110m2— 1 covered space
        per dwelling unit; and 1 space per 3 dwelling units, or part thereof; AND
        For dwelling units with 3 or more bedrooms or those greater than 110m2— 2 covered
        spaces per dwelling unit which may be located in tandem layout; AND
        1 designated visitor carparking space, accessible at all time, per 4 dwelling units or part
        thereof
Therefore the proposed development requires 16 covered spaces and 2 visitor spaces
7.      Built form:
•       The rear wall of the development is a continuous plane of approximately 34 metres.
        The Noosa Plan seeks a maximum wall length of 15 metres, accordingly the built form
        should be amended to have a maximum wall length of 15 metres and each external
        wall plane to incorporate at least one design element to add visual interest and
        amenity (such as windows, pergolas, sun shading devices, balconies or a change of
        building material).
•       It is recommended that the plans are amended to visually break up building façades by
        incorporating different but complimentary textures and building materials.
•       The application must demonstrate that it is consistent with the streetscape and
        Tewantin character.

This document is a record of prelodgement discussions and will not be made available for public viewing. Prelodgement
discussions are conducted to explore development options and requirements, identify issues and provide guidance to prospective
applicants about Council’s policies for development. The recorded discussion items and outcomes in no way imply or commit to
an approval of the proposal on the part of Council or Council officers, nor guarantee that all potential issues associated with a
development proposal have been raised / identified. When a formal development application is lodged, the proposal will be
assessed on its planning merits in accordance with Council’s policy framework existing at the time of the assessment.
