Planning Report 2125 - Loxton Subdivision

                                                                                          proposal report




   Figure 6: Building approval plans with additions to the existing house and proposed subdivision plan

The proposed lot boundary between the existing buildings is a minimum of 2.5m from the existing
11m high building on proposed Lot 1 and is compliant with the relevant setback provisions of The
Noosa Plan. Each building also includes approximately 200m2 of site coverage and represents 33%
(Proposed Lot 1) and 37% (Proposed Lot 2) of site cover calculations relative to the proposed lot
sizes (not including easements). The resultant site cover will comply with the Detached House Code
provisions and is of a scale compatible with surrounding development. The design also maximises
the retention of vegetation between buildings and allows for a suitable area at ground level for
outdoor recreation, entertainment, clothes drying and vehicular access.

It is demonstrated that each lot affords sufficient outdoor open space areas around the buildings and
allows for access, services and waterways to be contained within common easements.

The subdivision design meets the relevant Overall Outcomes of the Reconfiguring a Lot code
pertaining to lot size and dimensions.

Traffic and Access

The Specific Outcomes of the Reconfiguring a Lot code seek for traffic generated by the
development does not have an adverse impact on the functioning of the road network, and the
access easements are in appropriate locations and widths to cater for the vehicles that will use
them.

The design allows for two cars to pass within an access easement at the bottom of the driveway and
a sufficient area within the existing driveway (off the main carriageway of Mitti Street). This proposal
replicates the existing onsite situation and allows for users to negotiate the battleaxe handle in a
forward gear (see Figure 7).
