conflict with the existing development due to the minor scale of the proposal, availability of onsite
parking and operating hours of the child care centre. Additionally, the recommendation includes
Protection of Privacy conditions to prevent overlooking from the subject site into the adjoining child
care centre.
BUILT FORM PROVISIONS
Medium Density Residential Zone Code
       PO11
       Plot ratio of development does not exceed 0.4:1.
It is noted that the dwelling has not been constructed in accordance with the exiting approved plans
for the duplex (MCU18/0003), with the Ground Floor ‘bike parking’ area being converted to a Media
Room, accessible via the dwelling only. The existing approval for the duplex was issued under
Noosa Plan 2006, which allowed a plot ratio of 0.45:1 in this location. The original approval plans
provided a plot ratio of 0.44:1. The conversion of the ‘bike parking’ results in a plot ratio of 0.46:1.
As such, the proposal does not comply with plot ratio requirements outlined in both Noosa Plan
2006 and Noosa Plan 2020.




                        Figure 7: Approved Ground Floor Plan (MCU18/0003)
The applicant has been made aware that the as constructed dwelling does not comply with the
approved plans, and as such has proposed to convert the Media Room back to bike parking,
accessible from the garage only. Given the original approval was issued under Noosa Plan 2006,
a plot ratio of 0.45:1 is considered acceptable.
It is suggested in the Recommendation that Council’s Development Assessment Compliance
Officer carries out a Final Inspection to ensure compliance with the Conditions of approval for both
MCU18/0003 and MCU20/0119.
