DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
VIEWLAND DRIVE, NOOSA HEAD
8th February 2021
Youngcare is pleased to provide the following information in support of the Development
application at Viewland Drive Noosa Heads.
Youngcare Residents
Youngcare supports young people from 18-65 with High Physical support needs in high quality
purpose-built accommodation across Queensland (and soon to be nationally). It is proposed that all
residents that call the development at Viewland Drive home, will be approved by the National
Disability Insurance Scheme as needing High Physical Support accommodation as defined by the
Specialist Disability Accommodation guidelines.
Care Support
To support residents in their homes, Youngcare and our residents of Viewland drive and their
families will complete an exhaustive approval process to nominate an approved Care providers for
the residents on site. Within their scope they will provide care 24 hours a day 7 days a week to
residents and there will be staff on-site 24/7. The number of staff will be determined by their SDA
care package and nominated by the NDIS.
Residents accessing the community
Within our current portfolio of completed projects, residents with High Physical Support needs who
Youngcare assists, do not drive and do not own vehicles. They primarily utilise taxis and Approved
Care Providers vans to access the community.
A proportion of Youngcare residents at Viewland Drive will have PowerDrive wheelchairs that have
the capacity to travel up and down the sloped footpaths as experienced in Noosa.

Carparking Analysis Noting the above and Youngcare’s experience in Disability Accommodation across a number of completed developments, the carparking numbers provided at Noosa are adequate. We would note that on a similar sized development with 10 residents in a mix of dwelling types (similar to the proposed development at Noosa) they access 5 communal carparks. There are separate carports on the site however they are not utilised. Within the proposed development at Noosa Springs, Youngcare will utilise the Ambulance bay for the parking of all medical staff including nursing staff and visiting doctors. The Carers occupying both OOA rooms will utlise one car space each. This will leave the remaining 3 carspaces for visiting family and friends. Please confirm if you need any further supporting information for this application. Kind regards Heather Browne General Manager Developments
