BUILT FORM

The proposed development is two storeys and semi-basement carpark with a maximum height of 8m.
Type ‘A’ unit comprises two bedrooms and media room (capable of use as third bedroom) and Type ‘B’
unit comprises three bedrooms. The garage is located on the basement level and is accessible via a rear
lane access from Banksia Avenue, ensuring that the garages do not dominant the street frontage. All units
are oriented towards Grant Street. The proposal has a GFA of 658m2 or 44% and a site cover of 27%.

The building design is well articulated and includes a variety of design elements, including a flyover roof,
pitched roofs and eaves. The proposal achieves a contemporary, architecturally designed development
with articulation and variation in building materials and treatments. Building materials include metal roof
sheeting, timber features, lightweight awning and cladding, and is reflective of the Noosa Heads character.

ACCESS AND PARKING

Site access is achieved via a driveway from Banksia Avenue. Each unit will be provided with two carparks
contained within double garages as a semi-basement level. Four visitor car parking spaces will be
provided. All cars will be able enter and leave the site in a forward motion.
