Minor Change Application (002) · 51988.2740.02

                                                                DANYA COOK TOWN PLANNING


Prior to the commencement of the design stage, liaison with Noosa Council was undertaken to seek advice with respect to
bedrooms, density, gross floor area, and site cover. Council advised that plot ratio cannot exceed 0.4:1 for the proposal to
be considered as a Minor Change.

The original building features an enclosed ground floor gross floor area of 54.2m2 per Dwelling Unit, plus a further unenclosed
ground floor area of 16.5m2, and an enclosed upper floor gross floor area of 55.6m2 per each Dwelling Unit, plus a further
unenclosed upper floor area of 7m2. Therefore, the total is 109.8m2 enclosed (stairs only counted once) for each Dwelling
Unit, which equals 219.6m2 gross floor area of the site. The site area is 646m2, which equals a current plot ratio of 0.34:1.

Considering the area of the site being, 646m2, the maximum plot ratio of 0.4:1 is 258.4m2, which leaves a further 38.8m2
available, being 19.4m2 for each Dwelling Unit if allocated evenly.

The proposed minor changes relevant to Dwelling Unit 2 are demonstrated by the Design Plans prepared by Kieron James
Design included at Appendix A, which demonstrate an addition of 12.9m2 to the lower floor bedroom at the rear and
enclosure of the existing unenclosed lower patio at the rear for a new kitchen, which adds an additional 4.7m2, totalling
17.6m2.

Assuming the floor area of Dwelling Unit 1 is unchanged (as per 51988.2740.01), the revised gross floor area is 237.2m2,
which translates to a plot ratio of 0.37:1.

It is also proposed to increase the single lock up garage to a double garage, which remains within the existing individual lot /
strata boundaries and does not contribute to the gross floor area figures. The addition of the double garage also ensures the
total site cover is under 40%.

The visitor car parking space is relocated between the new double garage and the 2m wide landscape buffer. This ensures
the site features three (3) covered car parking spaces and two (2) visitor car parking spaces, which exceeds the required rate
of two (2) covered and one (1) visitor car parking space.

It should be noted that the 2m wide landscape buffer is maintained along the site’s frontage, and the width of the driveway
crossover is not increased.

In summary, gross floor area, setbacks and site cover are compliant.

4.0        CHANGES TO APPROVAL DESCRIPTION

•     Development Approval for Multiple Dwelling (Two (2) Dwelling Units).

Changes to the above approval description is not required.

5.0        CHANGES TO CONDITIONS

Following a detailed review of Development Approval TPC 2129 and 51988.2740.01, it is determined that change to Condition
20 of 51988.2740.01 is required to reference the Design Plans prepared by Kieron James Design included at Appendix A, as
detailed below under Section 6.0 – Changes to Approved Plans.

6.0        CHANGES TO APPROVED PLANS

It is requested that the Design Plans prepared by Kieron James Design included at Appendix A, are endorsed by Council. The
Approved Plans list should therefore be updated to include:

       •   Existing Site Plan.
       •   Existing Lower Plan.
       •   Existing Upper Plan.
       •   Existing Elevations.
       •   Proposed Site Plan.
