Item 2

Provide updated plans indicating a compliant site cover, including all buildings and
structures, in accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition.

Response: ​The structure located at the rear of the site is a cubby house. This is considered
part of the landscaping on site and is therefore excluded from site cover calculations in
accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition of site cover.

Item 3

Provide a Plot Ratio Calculation Plan indicating a compliant plot ratio, in accordance
with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition.

Response: ​The revised Architectural Plans (7189-DA02 - Summary) shows a reduction in gross
floor area, which has resulted in a compliant plot ratio of 0.4:1 in accordance with the Noosa
Plan 2020 definition.

Item 4

Provide evidence the Level 02 Balcony will not adversely impact on the privacy and
amenity of the adjoining property to the north.

Response: Please refer to revised Architectural Plans (7189-DA11 - Section 2) which shows
cross sections through the western balcony and the adjacent property. The revised plans show
the northern balustrade to Level 2 to include obscure glass infill to eliminate the line of sight to
the private open space area of the adjoining property to the north. We note the private open
space for the northern adjoining property has been constructed to the minimum setback with
little to no privacy elements included.

The upper level terrace on the neighbouring property to the north is well setback to the east
and sits higher than the proposed Level 2 balcony. It is considered that there is no opportunity
for overlooking in this regard. The northern setback of the proposed development has been
setback greater than the minimum requirement with a view to provide greater horizontal
separation to the adjoining dwellings to minimise privacy and overlooking concerns.

       a.      PO1 and PO2 of Table 9.4.6.3;
       b.      PO7 and PO8 & AO8.1 or AO8.2 of Table 9.4.6.3; and
       c.      Incorporate any design changes which are required to meet the Code.

Response: Please refer to revised Architectural Plans and below table which addresses the
