Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU25 0087 (As Published) · MCU25/0087

               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.
