    SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL
    LOCKED BAG 72
    SUNSHINE COAST MAIL CENTRE QLD 4560

    ATTENTION: Mr Marcus Brennan



    Dear Marcus

    REPRESENTATIONS ON DECISION NOTICE

    MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE - DUPLEX

    17 GRANT STREET, NOOSA HEADS


    Further to Council’s Decision Notice issued for the above development application, we make the
    following representations in regards to Council’s approval:


    Condition 10.3
    Condition 10.3 requires a minimum width of 500mm of screening vegetation along the southern
    boundary. While this can largely be provided it cannot be achieved adjacent to the garage and the
    section of driveway providing access to the garage. Given that Council has approved a reduced
    setback for the garage, this condition imposes an unreasonable imposition on the development.
    Accordingly, we request that Condition 10.3 be amended to only require a minimum width of 500mm
    of screening vegetation along the southern boundary other than adjoining the garage and the built to
    boundary driveway section shown on the approved plan.


    Condition 12
    Condition 12 requires the front fencing to be setback at least 1m from the front property boundary,
    with at least half the fencing setback 2m; or where on the property boundary less than 1.2m in height
    or of open construction.
    As detailed in the response to the information request, the front fence is articulated and setback 1 –
    2m from the frontage with soft landscaping between the fence and frontage in accordance with
    probable solutions S38.1 and S38.2 of the specific outcomes and probable solutions for the Semi-
    attached Housing Zone. All sections of the frontage comprise soft landscape with the exception of
    areas required for pedestrian or vehicular access. Specifically, S38.1 requires fencing to be setback
    an average of 1m. There is nothing in the planning scheme that requires at least half the fencing to
    be setback 2m. In this regard this condition is neither relevant to nor reasonably required and is an
    unreasonable imposition on the development.
