 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




Lot Size and Dimensions:
O1 Lots have the appropriate area and dimensions for (adopting the same numbering):
   a) the intended use for Detached Housing with no further building work being proposed. The
       existing structures have adequate building setbacks, private open space and on site
       manoeuvring for vehicles. While the proposed allotments technically do not meet the
       minimum allotment size of 800m² under Table 14-68, the allotment sizes are well above the
       minimum lot size of 600m² for the Detached Housing Zone and are adequate for the intended
       use;
   b) while the proposed residential development on Lot 1 is not above the 1%AEP storm event
       level:
           a. the extension to the dwelling is existing;
           b. all habitable rooms are located at least 580mm above the stormwater flow level;
           c. the overland flow path provides for intermittent and irregular flows only;
           d. the maximum depth and volume of flow across the access has a limited duration and
               complies with the relevant safety standard (QUDM); and
           e. the proposed development does not change the level of risk to people and property
               with the existing development remaining unchanged;
   c) the development proposed is not a community title;
   d) the existing built form has been sited, designed and constructed to minimise the risk from
       stormwater flow;
   e) the proposed development will not have any impact upon water quality with limited works for
       the provision of services being required;
   f) the proposed development does not require further building work with no loss of the natural
       environmental values, including native vegetation;
   g) … ;
   h) no earthworks are proposed with no further development being intended other than to
       provide for some services;
   i) the private open space areas within the proposed allotments are to be landscaped and
       maintained; and
   j) convenient vehicle access, onsite manoeuvring and parking is provided for both dwellings on
       the proposed allotments.

Having regard to the above, the proposed development either complies with or meets the intent of
the overall outcomes. To the extent there is any deemed non-compliance with this specific outcome,
in my opinion, this is minor and of technical nature only.

Lot Layout:
O4 Subdivision of land for residential development provides for a neighbourhood with a strong and
positive identity. To the extent relevant, the proposed development does not offend any of the specific
outcomes and is entirely consistent with the nature and character of the locality.

O5 Having regard to house site areas, while the extension to the dwelling on Lot 1 is not located 50m
from the Noosa National Park, the extension exists and no further building work is proposed. Further,
