Building Details:

                                          Unit 1                     Unit 2                  Total

Table 3 – Duplex proposal details

Landscaping:
The site will be appropriately landscaped along the street frontage and internal driveway as shown
on the Landscape Plan in Appendix E. Additional landscaping is provided near the pool area and
in the private yard.

Building Setbacks:
Adjoining and nearby properties along Elizabeth and Edward Streets have various setbacks, with
setbacks of 4.5m being common one (including recent approval MCU13/0199 on the adjoining
land to the east). While the proposal does not comply with standard setbacks for the Attached
Housing Zone, it maintains the visual continuity and pattern of buildings along both streets.

Both proposed units have road setbacks of less than 6m. Unit 1’s portico has a setback of 4.53m
to Elizabeth St, however the main building front is setback 5.13m and the double garages 6m. Unit
2’s garage also complies with the 6m setback, while the open Portico and patio have setbacks of
4.9m and 5.1m. As such parts of the building fronts comply with the required setbacks, while the
rest complies with the prevailing setbacks of the neighbouring lots.

Both garages have 0 setbacks to the boundaries, while the second storeys above have setbacks
of more than 2m. While the proposal complies with the Queensland Development Code, it does
not comply with the required side setbacks of the Noosa Plan. Unit 1 adjoins a recently approved
duplex which features a 3m wide internal driveway and 0.5m wide landscaping strip along the
common boundary. As such there is an adequate distance and visual buffer provided towards the
adjoining living areas.

3.2.2     Operational Works

The proposal also includes an Operational Works application.

A Landscaping Plan is attached as Appendix E which provides sufficient information for an
Operational Works application for Landscaping Works.

An Engineering Report is attached as Appendix F which forms part of an Operational Works
application for Stormwater Management, Earthworks and Driveway.
