provision of visitor car parking spaces as proposed is more than sufficient to meet the Council’s
standard requirements.

In accordance with best practice engineering and ecological design principles the internal road
layout is integrated within the stormwater management strategy. The road network within the
residential areas are designed as overland flowpaths to direct the stormwater through the Precinct
J site, which will then be collected via pits and pipework, in order to be discharged into the existing
lake system. In addition, the narrow streetscape encourages driver awareness and lowers the
speed environment, which sustains a safe residential environment.

6.2     Reconfiguration of a Lot Requirements

The Reconfiguration of a Lot component of the Development Application comprises a staged
Reconfiguration of a Lot:
            o    Stage 1 – one (1) lot into two (2) lots
            o    Stage 2 – one (1) lot into twenty-seven (27) lots, one (1) common property lot and
                 the creation of an access easement.

This component of the application is accompanied by a Material Change of Use component which
applies the residential land use entitlements to the Precinct J site and facilitate a realignment of the
eighteenth hole.

A detailed assessment against the relevant scheme measures has been carried out and it has
been determined that the proposed subdivision design is consistent with Chapter 7 of the
Superseded Planning Scheme. This section of the scheme refers the Development Application to
the Plan of Development for assessment. The approved Plan of Development, however, does not
provide subdivision controls, such as requirements for minimum areas and average widths.

The Plan of Development does, however, provide a schedule that regulates the dwelling density
across Noosa Springs. Section 4.2 of this report provides a comparison of the permitted number
of Dwelling Units against the established and proposed number of Dwelling Units. It is noted that a
short fall of 171 Dwelling Units exists across Noosa Springs. A provision stipulated on the Plan of
Development enables the Dwelling Unit Density Entitlements stipulated for each precinct to be
transferred across Noosa Springs, regardless of the Precinct. Accordingly, a minimum of twenty-
seven (27) Dwelling Units are to be included within the area described in the Plan of Development
as being part of Precinct H.

The proposed residential subdivision design has been based upon the minimum areas and
average widths requirements of the Residential Low density and Residential Single Unit Zone.
The allotment areas range from 700m2 to 960m2 with an average area of approximately 800m2.

It is noted that two (2) Easements transverse the Precinct J site and are described as Easement D
on SP108098, and Easement L on SP100810. The Easements are provided for underground
power, water and sewerage. The services and Easements are to be re-located along the
proposed lot boundaries. Correct consent is provided on the IDAS forms which accompany this
report.

The proposed subdivision has been designed in a manner that maintains and enhances the rights
and functions of the Golf Course. As previously mentioned in the report, the south western part of
the development footprint impinges on the alignment and use of the 18th fairway. As a result,
works will be required to re-locate the tee and re-position the fairway in order to retain the function
of the 18th hole. Existing access pathways for the purpose of light vehicles (golf carts) are located
within the Golf Course and traverse the Precinct J site. These paths will be retained and where
needed an access easements shall be placed over the development in favour of the Golf Course.
