4.0        Proposed Development

4.1        Overview

This application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use to establish Multiple Dwelling (1 Additional
Dwelling Unit) on land described as Lot 1 - 4 and CP on BUP3585, situated Illawarra Court, 17 Henderson Street, Sunshine Beach QLD
4567.

As noted above, under Section 3.5 – Site Environment, the subject site currently features Multiple Dwelling (4 Dwelling Units). The
intent of the proposed development seeks to intensify the dwelling unit density by one additional dwelling, resulting in a total
dwelling unit density of 5 Dwelling Units. The proposal also seeks to renew the external appearance of the building, rework the
access driveway and car parking area, and add a communal open space area, inclusive of a swimming pool.

The building matrix of the proposed development is demonstrated by the Design Plans prepared by M Design included at Appendix
A, which include:

      •    Level A – Proposed.
      •    Level B – Proposed.
      •    Level C – Proposed.
      •    Level E – Proposed.
      •    Elevations.
      •    3D Views.

Level A comprises the renewed access driveway and car parking area, inclusive of both designated residential car spaces and visitor
car spaces, storage area, stairs to the upper levels, and landscaping.

Level B comprises two existing dwelling units and new private open space and stairs to the upper levels.

Level C comprises two existing dwelling units, swimming pool and pool shelter, landscaping and lift and stairs to upper level.

Level E comprises the proposed dwelling unit, featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms (ensuites), and combined kitchen and
living area, which flows onto an outdoor east facing deck.

The proposed layout is clearly depicted by the Design Plans included at Appendix A.

4.2        Building Height, Density, Setbacks and Site Cover

Building Height

As demonstrated by the Design Plans included at Appendix A, the proposed dwelling unit does not result in the overall built structure
exceeding a building height of 12m.

Density

Plot ratio has been appropriately considered by the proposed intensification, as demonstrated by the Design Plans included at
Appendix A.

The role and function of the High Density Residential Zone is to provide for higher density multiple dwellings in a range of dwelling
sizes and styles, which meet the needs of current and future resident populations. The proposed development provides for an
increase in density, resulting in a slightly higher density of multiple dwellings on-site, to meet the needs of the growing resident
population of Sunshine Beach and the Noosa Shire as a whole.

Setbacks

With respect to the front boundary setback, a minor non-compliance with the standard 6m setback is acknowledged. As
demonstrated by the Design Plans included at Appendix A, a front boundary setback of 5.265m is proposed to accommodate the
mandatory structure required to support the private open space above, whilst enabling compliant manoeuvring of vehicles on-site,
