      Side boundaries—1.5m setback up to 4.5m height; 2m setback between 4.5m - 7.5m height; and 2m
      plus 0.5m for every 3m above 7.5m height or part thereof

The requirement for a Type 2 Duplex to have lesser setbacks than a detached house appears to be an
anomaly in the scheme as duplex developments have greater impacts than residential dwellings in terms of
carparking and increased density. This anomaly has been recognised and rectified by the draft Noosa Plan
which details standard side boundary requirements for the High Density zone in which the site is proposed to
be contained. The proposed setbacks complies with the setbacks required for duplex development in the zone.

It is also noted that Council approved reduced setbacks for an application for a detached house on the
adjoining site to the south under MCU15/0070 and noted that the proposed setbacks provided sufficient
separation between sites and provided greater setbacks compared to larger unit developments in the area.

The project architect has also modified the front setback because of engineering requirements with the building
now setback 4.2 metres from the street frontage and the awning setback 1.1 metres. The slight change
provides a setback that is still considered to be consistent with the character of the street, provides for
landscaping to the boundaries of the site and will not impact on the amenity of adjoining sites which also have
garages within the front setback.


Item 2:        Provide updates plans complying with a maximum of 3 storeys in height.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: Please refer to Attachment A which provides revised plans detailing
compliance.


Item 3:        Provide section plans at the below critical points of the dwelling clearly showing height
               complying with the 12 meter requirement from both natural ground level and finished
               ground level.

Applicant’s Response to Item 3: Please refer to Attachment A which provides revised plans detailing
compliance.


Item 4:        Provide an updated site cover plan calculating site cover in accordance with the
               requirements for the Attached Housing zone in the Eastern Beaches locality and the
               definition of site cover under the Noosa plan including all buildings and structures in
               excess of 1 metre in height.

Applicant’s Response to Item 4: Please refer to Attachment A which provides revised plans detailing
compliance.


Item 5:        Provide details on the overall height of the lift and any proposed lift overrun.

Applicant’s Response to Item 5: Please refer to Attachment A which provides revised plans detailing
the lift.


Item 6:        Provide a Roof plan detailing the degree of pitch proposed for each section of the roof
               and the total percentage of the perimeter of the dwelling to be eaved to a minimum of
               600mm

Applicant’s Response to Item 6: Please refer to Attachment A which provides revised plans. Probable
solution S12.1 states:

      The main roof of the building has a roof pitch no less than 5 degrees and has minimum 600mm eaves
      to at least 75% of the perimeter of the building;

The proposal plans detail that the main roof of the building has a roof pitch of 5 degrees and therefore
complies with scheme provisions. The proposal plans further indicate that 600mm eaves are provided
as follows:
