       Proposal

       It is proposed to undertake extensions to one dwelling of an existing Multiple Housing Type 4 use
       on land at 41 Belmore Terrace, Sunshine Beach (described as Lot 1 and Lot 2 on GTP141). The
       subject site currently contains existing units at the front of the site contained within Lot 1 which
       will remain in situ as well an existing dwelling at the rear of the site contained within Lot 2 which
       are connected on the ground level via a communal alfresco dining area and entry way to the rear
       units.

       The proposal involves the addition of extensions to the rear dwelling, which will be fully contained
       within Lot 2. The existing units contained within Lot 1 at the front of the site will be retained in
       their current form.

       Access to the rear dwelling will be maintained with a walkway along the northern boundary
       through common property on the site. An access walkway will also be retained along the
       southern boundary which provides access to the units at the front of the site as well as the
       existing day bed deck.

       The extensions which are proposed to be undertaken will not have any impacts on the existing
       amenity of the units situated in Lot 1.

       The proposed extensions involve enclosing the existing roof deck which incorporates a bedroom
       with ensuite, study, daybeds, and a roof deck. The proposed enclosing of the existing roof deck
       will not exceed 8m above natural ground level and will not impact on the outlook or prevailing
       views of any dwellings adjoining the site or located nearby in Belmore Terrace. The rear
       dwelling will present as 2 storeys to Belmore Street due to the stepping design of the dwelling up
       the property. A small section of the dwelling exceeds 2 storeys however a portion of this section
       of building is built below natural ground and as such the design remains below 8m and will
       present as 2 storeys as the dwelling moves up the slope.

       The proposed works architecturally respond to the natural topography of the site and is
       effectively incorporated into the sloping lot and is not overbearing when viewed from the street,
       and is consistent in scale and appearance with development in Belmore Terrace and the
       surrounding locality which incorporate similar topography.

       The proposed extensions to the rear dwelling also include the addition of a board storage room
       on the basement level, extensions on the ground floor to the alfresco dining area as well as the
       addition of living space, and the addition of a deck and atrium to the first floor plan. The
       proposed extensions maintain a building form that is articulated and uses design elements and
       materials that are consistent with the surrounding streetscape and coastal landscape character.

       The proposal will also include the addition of a lift which allows for easy and convenient access
       of the rear dwelling for persons with a disability. A small portion of the lift overrun will exceed 8m
       in building height, however this will not impact on any prevailing views of any dwellings in
       Belmore Terrace and we would consider this structure similar to a chimney and would not form
       part of the height calculation for the site.
