Applicant’s Request
Update table to include the amended architectural drawings.
Assessment of Request
The submitted plans provide for an increase in the number of dwelling units from 39 to 40 in the
form of a 1-bedroom manager’s unit (69.7m² GFA) being accommodated adjacent to the
manager’s shed/facilities. The proposal plans also introduce additional carparking, garage
spaces / maintenance vehicle parking. Currently there are 4 spaces, and the applicant now
proposes 8 spaces, a car wash bay plus a carport for the Manager’s Unit. The changes result in
compliance with the Noosa Plan development parameters as follows:
•    Site Cover remains at 29% significantly less than the allowable 40%.
•    The Change results in a population density of 115.1 persons, however, does not exceed
     the maximum allowable population density of 117.99 persons permitted under the
     superseded planning scheme. Population density provisions are not included within the
     Noosa Plan 2020.
•    The proposed height of the buildings is 4 metres which complies with the maximum
     allowable height of 12 and 8 metres permitted under both the current and previous planning
     schemes respectively.
•    The permitted Plot ratio of 0.4:1 allows for a maximum Gross Floor Area (GFA) for the site
     of 4719.6m2. The proposed GFA is 4710.3m2 based on the Noosa Plan 2020 definition of
     GFA which excludes components that were previously included in the Noosa Plan 2006
     GFA definition.
A comparison of the current GFA definition and the Noosa Plan 2006 GFA definition is provided
in figure 5 below. The most notable differences include the following areas which are no longer
counted as GFA; floor area beyond 3 metres from an external wall, ground floor of stairwells,
building services, plan or equipment areas, and a ground floor public lobby.
