such that vehicles can enter and exit the site in a forward gear. The Engineering Plans prepared by Rienmac Pty Ltd included at
Appendix B demonstrate the proposed driveway and crossover renewal.

It is worth mention that the proposed setback is in character with the adjoining Sundancer Holiday Apartments, situated at 11
Henderson Street; the proposed setback is located along the same built line as Sundanecre Holiday Apartments, which continues the
established character and built form of Henderson Street.

Site Cover

As demonstrated by the Design Plans included at Appendix A, the proposed development produces a compliant site cover.

Overall, the proposed development provides for a functional, attractive, and vibrant unit complex, which complements the
surrounding Sunshine Beach locality.

4.3       Access and Car Parking

Access to the site is gained via Henderson Street, whereby the access driveway supports the manoeuvring of vehicles on-site such
that vehicles can enter and exit the site in a forward gear.

The access driveway and crossover will be renewed / reworked to accommodate the proposed intensification, as demonstrated by
the Engineering Plans included at Appendix B.

In accordance with Table 9.4.1.4 - Minimum Parking Requirements, the car parking rate relevant to the proposed development is as
follows:

      •   1 covered space for up to 2 bedrooms; and
      •   1 visitor space per 4 dwellings.

Both the existing and proposed bedroom rates, as follows:

      •   Unit 1 = 1 Bed, 1 Bath.
      •   Unit 2 = 1 Bed, 1 Bath.
      •   Unit 3 = 1 Bed, 1 Bath.
      •   Unit 4 = 2 Bed, 2 Bath.
      •   Unit 5 = 2 Beds, 2 Bath.

A total of 7 car spaces is provided on-site, consisting of 5 designated resident car spaces and 2 visitor spaces, thereby providing a
compliant on-site car parking rate, as demonstrated by the Design Plans included at Appendix A.

4.4       Private and Communal Open Space

The proposed dwelling unit features compliant private open space, benefiting from a large east facing deck.

A new communal open space area is proposed to the rear of the site, characterised by a swimming pool, pool shelter and landscaping
(both soft and hard).

4.5       Landscaping

The landscaping theme for the site will be designed to complement the subtropical and costal characteristics of Sunshine Beach. The
soft landscaping design for the site will include native species, that a relatively low maintenance and water efficient and provide
shaded areas on-site, whilst the hard landscaping design will include durable material to create a sense of space and define different
areas on-site e.g., access and car parking, pathways, and private and communal spaces.

Overall, the landscape design, both soft and hard, will be well-balanced to enhance resident liveability.
