planning report Duke St- Change · 51989.1635.02

The proposed pool and deck along the southern boundary allow integration with the main living area
and kitchen on the first floor. The pool and deck wall are 4.5m high and setback 1.5m from the
boundary. This setback is compliant with The New Noosa Plan provisions.

The owners indicate there is no plan for a room under the deck (to be used for pool equipment) and
the walls along the boundary are to be rendered and finished to match in with the house. The ensuite
to bedroom 1 on this level is to be widened and a new window installed, as shown in relation to the
existing ground floor plans below.




The 1.5m area between the new blockwork wall and the northern boundary is proposed to be
landscaped with screening vegetation. This area is currently not seen by the neighbours because of
the existing landscaping along their driveway. Although the blockwork balustrading to the deck is
above the setback requirement, landscaping is proposed between buildings and the height of the
building is compliant with The New Noosa Plan provisions.

The proposed shade structure on the third storey is setback 6.5m from the rear boundary and is not
strictly in accordance with the 8m setback requirements. The roof element is
proposed with 40mm slats and a 40mm gap screen on the top of a pole structure
for shade protection only, with no walls. An indicative picture of slats (without the
gutter) is shown to the right. This element is light weight and to be finished with
landscaping crawler vegetation to grow over it. The building element is
substantially lower than the 12m height requirement and the proposal does not
remove any existing vegetation along the rear boundary. Although not complying
with the Noosa Plan’s 8m setback requirement, the design is below the 12m
requirement, lightweight and consistent with the existing building elements and
height of vegetation at that level consistent with the Specific Ouctomes of The
Noosa Plan.
