2.      PROPOSAL

This development application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Material
Change of Use – Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional (4 x 3 Bedroom Units) and
associated Operational Works.

The proposed development seeks to position 4 removal homes on the property that
will each have 3 bedrooms. The dwellings will have a maximum height of 2 storey
and less than 8m. The ground floor of each dwelling will predominantly comprise of
a double garage. The upper level will incorporate bedroom and living areas. It is
envisaged that the dwellings will be constructed of traditional materials and
detailing such as: steeply pitched roofs, timber cladding/stucco cladding, eaves,
window hoods and light weight verandahs.

Given that the removal homes must be sourced, the detailed design and dimensions
of these is unknown at this stage. Subsequently, this application seeks for building
envelopes to be approved that will support the future establishment of these
dwellings. The submitted Site Plan also incorporates development control
parameters to ensure that any future dwelling is in keeping with the intent of the
Noosa Plan’s planning provisions.

The site will be accessed via two separate driveway crossovers, with one being
centrally located on the Opal Street frontage, and the other centrally located on
the Diamond Lane frontage. Each dwelling will be provided with a double garage
and two visitor spaces will be located centrally within the site.

All necessary infrastructure will be provided to accommodate the use.

For full details of the site layout, please refer to the Proposal Plans attached as
Appendix A.
