2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
The Planning Scheme limits dwelling houses on 6 – 14 Park Road to a maximum gross floor area
of 150m². This maximises the retention of vegetation on Noosa Hill and maintains a green back
drop to Noosa Main Beach.
On 29 October 2004 Council issued an approval for a dwelling. The following changes to the
approval have been issued:
   9 October 2006 - allowed a tree to be removed
   9 August 2006 - permitted the sewer and stormwater lines to discharge to Park Road rather
     than to Allambi Rise
   27 September 2007 - approved a 50m² extension to the dwelling bringing the total gross
     floor area to 198m2.
   6 September 2017 – approved retaining wall and unroofed deck. Following Council’s
     decision, an appeal was lodged with the Planning and Environment Court on 20 September
     2016 by the applicant. The matter was latter resolved between the parties and confirmed
     by Judgment of the Planning and Environment Court on 1 November 2011 with the deck
     setback 1 metre from the front boundary.
   21 June 2018 – supported pre-request response for the development of additions to an
     existing deck attached to the dwelling
In April 2018 Council officers became aware that works for the lift access walkway had
commenced at the site without a planning approval. The works relate to piling for the
underground tunnel to access the proposed lift shaft.
2.2. Site Description
The site contains an existing dwelling nestled amongst the vegetated steeply sloping lot (approx.
30% slope). Vehicle access is from 9 Allambi Rise via an access easement.
