Issue – Ancillary Dwelling Units
The proposal seeks 3 ancillary dwelling units, one above each tenancy 5, 6 and 7. The Noosa
Plan’s definition of Ancillary Dwelling Unit is below.

Ancillary dwelling unit means the use of premises for a caretaker’s residence or employee
residence associated with a non-residential use on the same premises where:

      There is no other dwelling unit on the premises, except where the non-residential use
       is an agricultural use;
      The gross floor area of the dwelling unit does not exceed 150m²;
      The dwelling unit is subordinate to the non-residential use;
      The dwelling unit is attached to or within 25m of the non-residential use; and
      The dwelling unit is occupied by the owner of the non-residential use or somebody
       employed in the non-residential use.
While the proposed Ancillary Dwelling Units meet the required GFA, it is considered that the
size (GFA) of the units when compared to the size of the tenancies are not subordinate to the
industrial use of the associated tenancy. It is considered the size of the Ancillary Dwelling
Units should be reduced to ensure the units are subordinate to the industrial use on site.

Information Required
2. Provide amended plans with the Ancillary Dwelling Units reduced in size. Council would
accept 65m² GFA which is considered suitable for caretaking purposes of a small industrial
business.
