               The proposed development is for a large three level dwelling house within the coastal overlay.
               The lower storey includes a 4 car garage (two pairs of tandem spaces) as well as habitable areas
               involving living spaces, music room, cinema, wine cellar and gym totalling 118 m² gross floor area
               (GFA). Vehicle access is via a 6.0 metre wide driveway and garage door to this level from a access
               road extension from The Esplanade.
               The ground floor level includes the entry from street level resulting in 184 m2 GFA. This level opens
               to private open space (courtyard) at the rear as well as a 25 metre pool along and adjacent to the
               northern boundary.
               The upper floor level includes the primary living areas and master bedroom with decking facing the
               front with a 137m2 GFA. Overall, the development proposes a total of 441m² GFA.
               Elevations provided by the Applicant indicate that the dwelling house will be embedded into the
               ground level which shows no floor level within the building exceeds 1 metre above ground level,
               thus technically not being defined as a third storey under the Noosa Plan 2020.
               Portions of the frontage of the dwelling house facing the Esplanade will include an under croft
               which will be landscaped, so that when viewed from the street presents as an elevated two storey
               dwelling.
               Contiguous piling for the basement have been setback a minimum of 1.5 metres from the southern
               side and rear boundaries to enable opportunities for landscaping.
               The entire site is located within the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay and is mapped
               within the Coastal Hazards, erosion prone area. The site is also partially located within the
               Landslide Hazard Overlay (Moderate Hazard Area).
               Several technical assessments have been submitted to support the application. These include:
               •    Westra Partners - Site based stormwater management plan.
               •    Tectonic geotechnical and environmental engineers - Geotechnical investigation (post action
                    notice)
               •    Moffatt and Nichol - Coastal hazard assessment (post action notice).
               •    Aboda Design Group - Project architect.
               The locality and proposal plan are included below.

               Site Cover
               Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code states:
               AO8.1          Site cover of all buildings and structures on site does not exceed:
                               a) for a single storey building (or structure) - 50%; or
                               b) for a building of 2 storeys –
                                      i. 50% for one of the floor levels; and
                                     ii. 30% for each of the other floor levels provided the 30% floor level/s is
                                         contained fully within the 50% floor level identified in (b)(i) above; or
                                    iii. 40% for all storeys and floor levels.
                              Note—All Site cover is calculated as seen from a birds eye view.
               The applicant is proposing a Ground floor Level site cover of 49% and Upper floor level 32% and
               as such does not comply with AO8.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code. The proposal is
               therefore required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO8 of the Low Density
               Residential Zone Code, which states:

               PO8            Development:

                               a) is of a scale compatible with surrounding development and the particular
                                  circumstances of the site;
                               b) has a low site impact to maximise the opportunity to retain site characteristics,
                                  such as native vegetation and natural landforms;
                               c) allows the opportunity to provide soft landscaping between buildings;
                               d) does not present an appearance of bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other
                                  areas in the vicinity of the site.
               Assessment
               The built form is articulated across all levels and as shown at Figure 9, is a building scale which is
               compatible with adjoining development particularly when viewed from The Esplanade street
               elevation. The upper‑level incorporates an open courtyard which assists with visual interest and
               somewhat contributes to further articulation of the upper floor level. The upper floor includes
               container plantings along the northern and southern eves to assist with providing landscaping
               between dwellings.
               The uppermost level is setback 8.0 metres from the frontage which reduces the perceived building
               bulk when viewed from The Esplanade. While the site cover of this level slightly exceeds the
               maximum 30% and allowing for minor plan interpretations the exceedance of 2% is minor. Based
               on the current site cover of ground and upper floors (49% + 32%) a total site cover of 81% results.
               The combination of the proposed ground and upper floor setbacks, inclusion of an upper level
               open courtyard, landscaping treatments to each level does not present a noticeable appearance
               of excessive site coverage at the upper floor level. The intent of Performance Outcome PO8 is
               maintained and the proposed site cover is supported.

               Low Density Housing Code

               Assessment - AO11

               AO11 of the Low density housing code requires that driveways have a minimum grade of 1% away
               from any adjoining buildings and are formed to drain to landscaped areas. The proposed driveway
               slopes down from the frontage into the lower level of the proposed dwelling.
               Development Engineering have assessed the stormwater drainage proposed for the dwelling and
               have advised that only a small catchment is draining to the lower level with a pump well included
               within the design. Engineering have advised no objection.
               The proposal is consistent with PO11 of the Low Density Housing Code.


               Assessment – AO22.1
               Development, including associated access, is not located on land identified as a landslide hazard
               area on a Landslide Hazard Overlay Map. The subject site is within the Landslide Hazard Overlay
               however the proposed house is considered compliant subject to works being in accordance with
               the recommendations contained in Tectonic’s Geotechnical Investigation (25289-001-Rev0) dated
               19 November 2025. Engineering have advised no objection and have provided conditions for
               inclusion.


               Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code
               Assessment
               The site is included in the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code and the Noosa
               plan 2020 Erosion Prone area mapping (2040 and 2070 EPA encroachment) . PO1 of the code
               requires development allows for natural fluctuations of the coast and foreshores to occur, including
               allowance of climate change.
               The applicant provided a coastal hazard assessment report prepared by Moffatt and Nichol.
               Council engaged BMT Coastal Engineering to peer review the coastal hazard assessment which
               supports the conclusion that the proposed development will not adversely impact coastal
               processes or constrain future coastal management.


                                                                                                          Page 11 of 18

               3.     CONSULTATION
               3.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               3.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •    Senior Development Engineer, Development Assessment

               The development generally satisfies the assessable provisions of the relevant codes. A summary
               of the pertinent issues is below.

               Access
               The applicant is proposing to remove the existing crossover and reconstruct the driveway generally
               in the existing location. The alignment of the proposed crossover is non-standard, it is
               recommended the works are administered through an Operational Works – Driveway Crossover.

               Earthworks
               The excavation for the dwelling house is considered building works.

               Stormwater
               A stormwater management plan has been prepared in support of the application; the proposed
               discharge location and site drainage characteristics are as existing.

               Landslide Hazard
               A small portion of the southeastern corner of the site is affected by the moderate landslide hazard
               overlay. A geotechnical investigation has been prepared by Tectonic addressing the landslide
               hazard, concluding a low risk of slope instability subject to the recommendations of the report.
               Conditions were provided.


               3.3. Other Referrals
               A coastal peer review of the proposed development was undertaken by BMT on behalf of Noosa
               Council. The review confirms that the Applicant’s coastal hazard assessment prepared by Moffat
               & Nichol which states an Erosion Prone Area (EPA) of 85 metres, is unlikely to be vulnerable to
               coastal erosion by 2100 under an extreme event scenario.
               The review therefore supports the conclusion that the proposed development will not adversely
               impact coastal processes or constrain future coastal management options, and confirms
               compliance with the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay requirements (PO1–PO4)
               noting only minor recommendations for MN to correct figure sources and update one erosion profile
               illustration.


               4.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

                      Coastal Protection
               17.    All lighting must be positioned and managed to reduce sky glow and light spill onto the beach
                      to minimise disruption to turtle nesting and sea-finding behaviour of hatchlings. The following
                      must be undertaken:
                      a.      All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE)
                              must have 15% visible light transmittance tinting.
                      b.      All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE)
                              must be fitted with opaque blinds, to be drawn from 8pm during turtle nesting and
                              hatching season (October – May).
                      c.      All outdoor lights must have a maximum of 2700 K correlated colour temperature
                              (CCT). All indoor lights must have a maximum of 3000 K CCT. All lighting (interior and
                              exterior) must avoid the use of halogen, metal halide, or fluorescent lights.
                      d.      Amber LED (590-610 nm) or low pressure sodium lighting must be used as a standard.
                              Warm white is to be used only where colour rendition is required. LED lights must not
                              contain short wavelength blue light and supplier should be asked to provide spectral
                              power curve of requested LEDs to prove the absence of short wavelengths.
                      e.      The number and wattage of lights must be minimised.
