2.0 Proposal
The applicant seeks a development permit for a Material Change of Use of the currently vacant site
for a Dwelling House and Operational Work for the removal of up to 20 existing trees. Specifically,
the applicant seeks to construct a primary dwelling, secondary dwelling and shed all of which are
typically accepted development subject to requirements in the applicable zone (rural). The removal
of trees is a result of the proposed works. Access to and around the site is existing and free of
vegetation.

The application triggers code assessment due to the site being contained within an Area of
Biodiversity Significance. Similarly the site is affected by various Overlays under the Noosa Plan
which are discussed further in Section 3 of this report.

The applicant has extensively investigated the site for suitable locations for the purpose of
establishing the proposed works. Consideration was given to topography, location and proximity to
existing vehicle tracks and vegetation and understorey. The applicant has identified three locations
on-site for the proposed works illustrated on the attached Survey Plan and reflected in Figure 2 as;
Site 1 – Shed, Site 2 – Primary Dwelling, Site 3 – Secondary Dwelling.

Each of the sites have existing understorey and upper storey clearing and direct existing vehicle
access. Further clearing will no doubt be necessary to establish fire breaks for the proposed
structures, however the client seeks to keep the site in tact as much as possible given the natural
amenity of the site and net benefits to how they wish to occupy the site.

The primary dwelling is proposed as a split level to follow the topography of the site. The dwelling
house has a total area of 747.4m2 consisting of 400m2 habitable space, 137.1m2 garage and store
and 209.9m2 of covered outdoor decks. The secondary dwelling consists of 65m2 of habitable space,
28m2 carport, and 77.5m2 covered entry and decks/ patio. The shed has a total area of 320m2,
comprising 240m2 enclosed and 80m2 covered outdoor deck.

The proposed dwelling is for private use, the shed will facilitate storage of recreation equipment and
the secondary dwelling has been sought to permit occasional use by the property owner’s
immediate family on occasion when visiting from interstate.
