Figure 5 Front Perspective (Source: MRA Design 2026)

This treatment is consistent with the intent of the site cover definition, which measures building footprint and
enclosed mass rather than lightweight architectural projections designed for shading, articulation, and improved
streetscape outcomes. The approach also aligns with how similar elements have been interpreted in comparable
approvals. For example, the approved dual occupancy at 23 Edward Street, Noosaville (Council reference
MCU22/0174) included green roof projections extending around the building envelope, which were not included
in the site cover calculation due to their shading and eave‑like function. As such, when the applicable exclusions
for eaves and shading elements are correctly applied, the proposed dual occupancy achieves a compliant site
cover percentage of 40%.



ITEM 7: PLOT RATIO
Provide revised plans that achieve a plot ratio of 0.4:1.

RESPONSE
Please refer to the updated plans prepared by MRA Design in Attachment 1. The plot ratio has been calculated
using the planning scheme definition of gross floor area (GFA), which excludes areas used for access between
levels. The landing evidently provides access between levels. From the ground floor a step up to the landing is
required and forms the first step of the staircase which provides access to the outside portico and subsequently
to the upper floor, as shown in Figure 6 below.
