          Level 1 – 87%
          Level 2 – 52%
          Level 3 - 70%

The proposal plans also detail that each level has over 85% eaves that are greater than 500mm wide.
To ensure the main living and bedroom areas do not overlooking adjoining private sites, the project
architect has screened side windows with timber slats that cover the eave line.

Whilst the current Noosa Plan details requirements for eaves it is noted that the High Density Residential
Zone Code of the Draft Noosa Plan (AO14.1) excludes Coastal Communities Local Area from providing
eaves and a roof pitch. Based on the design of some of the surrounding buildings in the area the
proposal is considered to comply with the character of the area.


Item 7:         Provide updated proposal plans removing the roof terrace. Alternatively provide evidence
                (site line diagrams) that any roof terrace will not result in overlooking of neighbouring
                properties.

Applicant’s Response to Item 7: The upper floor balcony is not a roof terrace as it is accessed directly
from the master bedroom. A roof terrace is an area that is located on a roof and not accessible directly
from a habitable room.

The project architect has modified the plans and has set the balcony balustrade back from the edge of
the roof line with planters provided for landscaping purposes.

Item 8:         Provide structural details of the proposed retaining garden wall/structure and demonstrate
                how it will not compromise the structural integrity of the exiting stormwater infrastructure

Applicant’s Response to Item 6: Please refer to Attachment B which includes a Stormwater
Management Report prepared by Westera Partners. Attachment B of the Westera Report includes
Preliminary Engineering drawings.


Item 9:         Demonstrate how it is proposed to ensure that tree roots will not compromise the existing
                drain.

Applicant’s Response to Item 7: The applicant will comply with Council requirements in this regard and.
appropriate species will be planted across the drain.


Item 10:        Provide a site specific geotechnical report and site stability assessment for the site and
                development.

Applicant’s Response to Item 6: Please refer to Attachment C which provides a Slope Stability
Assessment and Geotechnical Report prepared by Soil Surveys.


Item 11:        Provide a plan of the proposed temporary and permanent structural systems and their
                construction methodology.

Applicant’s Response to Item 11: Please refer to Attachment C which provides a Slope Stability
Assessment and Geotechnical Report prepared by Soil Surveys.


Item 12:        Provide a stormwater management plan for the proposed development

Applicant’s Response to Item 12: Please refer to Attachment B.
