Response:

Please refer to Plan of Detail Survey of Lots 1, 2 and Common Property on GTP141, dated
10/06/15, produced by Murray & Associates Consulting Surveyors, and included in the
Amended Proposal Plans provided as Attachment A. A perspective has also been added
depicting the 8.0m plane over the natural ground. The only portion of the dwelling that slightly
exceeds 8.0m is the lift overrun and the 8 timber like screen cantilevered struts.

   Site Cover:

 3. Provide amended plans demonstrating compliance with The Noosa Plan provisions for
    site cover for the site, with site cover calculated in accordance with the definition provided
    in Part 2 of the planning scheme.

Response:

The proposal has been amended and reduced in scale resulting in a total site cover of
242.48m2 which equates to 40% of the 607m2 site area, as shown on plan number CALC
01C Amendment C: 04.06.15 Site Cover Amendment and calculated in accordance with the
definition provided in Part 2 of the planning scheme.

   Gross Floor Area:

 4. Demonstrate the store area should not be considered as gross floor area; or provide
    amended plans complying with maximum gross floor area limit.

Response:

The proposal has been amended in order to reduce the gross floor area, furthermore a portion
of the dwelling considered basement will not be calculated as part of the GFA in accordance
with the definition provided in Part 2 of the planning scheme.

The Ground Floor Plan shown on plan number CALC 01C Amendment C: 04.06.15 Site
Cover Amendment identifies the portion of the ground floor which is in accordance with the
definition of a basement and does not project more than one metre above both the natural
ground surface and the finished ground level.

As noted within PS45.1 of the Residential Uses Code “A weatherproof storage area of at
least 12.6m3 (having a height of at least 2.1, and an area of 6m2) is provided within or
attached to each dwelling unit. The storage space will not contribute to GFA providing it can
be directly accessed from outside the building and does not exceed an area of 7m2”. A
storage area with a total area of 7m2 has been included as part of the proposal and is shown
on drawing number 3D Amendment D 5/6/15 and has been excluded from the GFA
calculations.

The proposed GFA is now 261.63m2 which equates to 43.1% of the 607m2 site area as
shown on plan number CALC 01C Amendment C: 04.06.15 Site Cover Amendment included
in the Amended Proposal Plans provided as Attachment A.

   Rear Setback:

 5. Provide details on the extent of existing screening vegetation (i.e. species, location and
    height) able to be retained within the 3m setback, allowing for likely construction
    disturbance.

Response:

The proposed extensions will ensure the retention of all screening vegetation and existing
retaining wall within the 3m rear setback through the management of construction
disturbance in the locality. We anticipate that the retention of all existing screening vegetation
in the rear boundary setback will be included as a condition of the approval. It is not
anticipated that any construction on site will impact the vegetation.


CONCLUSION:

The information provided in this letter adequately addresses the matters raised in the Noosa
Shire Council Information Request dated 11 May 2015. Under the provisions of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009, the above represents a response in full to Council’s
Information Request.

We request that Council continue with its assessment of the application. I trust that the
information provided is sufficient to allow Noosa Shire Council to approve the proposed
development.
