Planning Report · MCU17/0027

1.0    Introduction
This Town Planning Report has been prepared to support a Development Application for a
Material Change of Use- Multiple Housing Type 2- Duplex and associated Operational
Works on behalf of G and M Robertson, the owners of the site. The Building Design
Drawings have been prepared by Garth Chapman Queenslanders and are included within
Appendix 2.

The Noosa Planning Scheme 2006 defines Multiple Housing Type 2 – Duplex as:

       “Means the use of premises for two dwelling units either attached or detached, on
       one lot where the use does not fall under Multiple housing Type 1 Relative or
       employee.”

The applicant proposes a Multiple Housing Type 2- Duplex residential development, with
both dwellings having ground floor and 1st floor levels. The proposed dwellings would be
best described as having an overall single dwelling type appearance. The proposed Building
Design Drawings (Appendix 2) have been prepared to complement the existing residential
type and has been designed to present well to Grant Street’s frontage.

The purpose of this Town Planning Report is to best describe the characteristics of the
subject site, detail the surrounding land uses and present the proposed development
parameters. A full assessment of the Noosa Planning Scheme 2006 has been undertaken,
and due to the site location within the Urban Footprint under the SEQ Regional Plan 2009-
31, a brief commentary of the policy intent of the South East Regional Plan has also been
included.

This Town Planning Report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying IDAS
Forms 1, 5 and 6 and documentations prepared within the submitted Appendix.

as Lot 6 SP 179879 and Lot 4 SP 230068. The site is located within the Noosa Heads
Locality Planning Area.

The development site is of an approximate rectangular shape and once amalgamated will
contain a total site area of 1,265.62m2. The site has full frontage to Grant Street. The
proposed development will continue to the use the site’s current access which is attained off
an access easement from the rear of the site. The access easement directly stems from

manner without unduly impacting on neighbouring properties.

The site is easily accessible from Banksia Avenue and ultimately Noosa Drive, which is
linked to the Bruce Highway and other areas of the Noosa by the existing road network.
