RE:    Response to Further Advice (RAP21/0028.01) – Dwelling House – 38
       Mossman Ct, Noosa Heads

Council issued an information request on 31 August 2023 to Michael Bowcock (Coastal
Building Certifiers). The owner has since provided amended plans and sought for Pivotal
Perspective planners to finalise the response to the response.


The following additional information provides a response to Council’s Further Advice
Request items:

Issue – Site Cover
   1. Provide revised architectural drawings with reduced building bulk and to
       be of a scale that achieves the site cover requirements of the zone code
       and is compatible with the established streetscape character.

The acceptable outcomes seek for the site cover for each level does not exceed 40% for
both levels. The site cover calculations comply with the Acceptable Outcome as
demonstrated below.

      Site Area = 606m2
      Site Cover Floor 1 = 234m2 (38.6%)
      Site Cover Ground = 232m2 (38.2%)




As per the definition for site cover above, the following components of the buildings cannot
be considered as site cover:

   -   Entry arbour shade structure within the landscaped open space
   -   Veranda areas on the ground floor connected to the landscaped open space area
   -   Eaves and sunshades along the northern and southern elevations

Issue – Structures on boundary
   2. Provide amended plans that comply with the Acceptable Outcomes of the
       Low Density Residential Zone code.
   3. Provide amended plans that setback the built to boundary deck area from
       the side boundary by 1.5 metres and propose landscaping between the
       deck and the boundary.

The garage along the boundary has been removed from the original plans, however the
amended plans include a separate class 10 storeroom, which is 3.3m in height and 4.2m
in length along the eastern boundary.


Issue – Soft Landscaping
   4. Provide amended plans that comply with the Acceptable Outcomes of the
       Low Density Housing Code.

In accordance with the definition for soft landscaping, the landscaped areas are calculated
to be 96m2 (15.8%). The soft landscaping area is 25m2 below the minimum 20%
acceptable outcome.




If the landscaping areas are considered insufficient and does not meet the Performance
Outcome, we seek for Noosa Council to condition for the ponds at the front of the house
to be removed and replaced with deep landscaping, as shown below.




                                                                              Page 3 of 4
