Figure 1 – Locality Figure 2 – Site Plan Figure 3 – Floor Plan GF (Rev E) Figure 4 – Floor Plan UP Figure 5 – Northern Elevation Figure 6 – East Elevation Figure 7 – South Elevation Figure 8 - West Elevation site details Background The site is currently a single storey Dwelling House with Wyandra Street being the primary frontage. The site has two vehicle crossovers, the most northern appearing to be unformalized. Site Description The subject site is 598m2 with frontage to both Wyandra and Safari Streets. The land falls a total of 5 metres from the upper corner of the allotment to the Wyandra/Safari Street intersection Surrounding Land Uses Land adjacent to the site is park land, land north of the site is a single dwelling. The subject site and existing sites along Wyandra and Safari Street has been rezoned with the new planning scheme (Noosa Plan 2020). Figure 9 – Changes in zoning from Noosa 2006 and Noosa Plan 2020 assessment Instruments for Statutory Assessment Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development: State Planning Policy; South East Queensland Regional Plan; Planning Regulation 2017; and Noosa Plan 2020 (v. 25 September 2020). Noosa Plan 2020 The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development: Medium Density Residential Zone Code; Noosa Heads Local Plan Code; Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Use Code; Works Codes; Landslide Hazard Overlay Code. The subject site is located in Noosa Heads and is zoned Medium Density Residential Zone. The proposed use is identified as a consistent use within the zone and is required to follow a code assessable application process. The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below: Criteria Planning Scheme Proposal Complies AREA 598.4m2 Building height storeys metres - 2 storeys max 8 metres - 2 storeys ~7.3 metres - Site cover 45% max 269.28m2 42.53% 254.5m2 Gross floor area Plot ratio 239.36² max 0.4:1 max. 242.5m² ~0.4:1 Boundary setbacks Wyandra St Safari St Northern Eastern 6 metres min 6 metres min 1.5 metres min 1.5/2.0 metres min 4.5/5.5 metres 6 metres 1.5 metres 0.9/2.0 metres X X Length of wall 15 metres max 13.7 metres Landscaped open space Soft landscaping 239.36 m² min (40%) 143.61m2 min 60% of total 243.96 m² 214.94% m² Private Open Space 25m² min > 85m² Carparking 2 covered min 1 visitor 4 covered Wyandra Street Boundary Setback AO12.1 Buildings and structures meet the following minimum boundary setbacks: for frontages — 6 metres for side boundaries— 1.5 metres setback up to 4.5 metres height; 2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and 2.5 metres where above 7.5 metres height for the rear boundary - 6 metres PO12 Buildings and structures are designed and sited to: provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including provision of visual and acoustic privacy; not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable areas of adjoining premises; provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses; preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development; allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living and utilities; be consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area; and protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands. The proposed duplex development is located on a corner of Safari and Wyandra Street. Wyandra Street has a frontage of approximately 26 metres and 22 metres parallel to Safari Street. The applicant has proposed to achieve a setback of 6 metres from Safari Street, and a setback of 4.5 metres from Wyandra Street for the upper level, and 5.5 metres for the lower level measured from outermost projection. The existing development has a current setback of approximately 3.8 metres from the Wyandra Street boundary. The presentation of Unit 1 to Wyandra Street includes both horizontal and vertical elements and has incorporated a courtyard central to the unit’s street elevation. These elements assist in breaking up the front façade and reducing the dominance of the building within the front setback. Land on the opposite side of Wyandra Street is park land, and the property adjoining to the north is on the higher side of the land and has well established vegetation. It is not anticipated that the development will raise concerns of overlooking of private space. Considering the development is on corner lot, fall of land and existing and proposed vegetation, the reduced setback achieves compliance with the Performance outcome. Eastern Side Boundary Setback AO12.1 Buildings and structures meet the following minimum boundary setbacks: for frontages — 6 metres for side boundaries— 1.5 metres setback up to 4.5 metres height; 2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and 2.5 metres where above 7.5 metres height for the rear boundary - 6 metres PO12 Buildings and structures are designed and sited to: provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including provision of visual and acoustic privacy; not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable areas of adjoining premises; provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses; preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development; allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living and utilities; be consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area; and protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands. The applicant seeks a boundary relaxation for a portion of the garage of Unit 2. The relaxation is for a setback of 0.9 metre for a distance of 5.8 metres, with the remaining of the building setback in accordance with the Acceptable outcome. The area of encroachment is proposed to be landscaped to screen the building to soften the appearance of the building. It is unlikely that the reduced setback will impact on privacy or reduced access to sunlight to the adjoining to the adjoining lot as it relates to the lower level only. The development achieves compliance with the Performance outcome. Transport Code The Transport Code nominates assessment against Council’s Planning Scheme Policy PSP6 which includes pathways on both sides of collector roads, and one side along local roads. The development will be conditioned accordingly to comply with the nominated Acceptable outcomes. Commentary - Plot Ratio The original set of plans and plans provided in response to the Information Request included the bathroom of Unit 1 and laundry of Unit 2 being excluded from gross floor area calculations. The bathroom attached the garage of Unit 1 was removed and has been converted to storage associated with the garage, amended plan was provided for the Ground Floor (rev E). Council’s respective calculations show the development now compliant with plot ratio. cONSULTATION Referral Agencies Not Applicable Internal Council Referrals The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment: Development Engineer, Daniel Epps The proposed works inside the subject site is largely encumbered by Medium Landslide Hazard risk. The submitted documentation did not include a Geotechnical Report supporting the proposed works. The applicant has since provided a site-specific Geotechnical Report endorsing the works.
