PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COURT APPEAL NO. D44 of 2025 – APPLICATION FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR FOOD AND DRINK OUTLET AND SHORT-TERM ACCOMMODATION AT 203 - 207 GYMPIE TERRACE, NOOSAVILLE · ATTACHMENT 3 - (MCU24/0074) - PLANNER'S REPORT 17 MARCH 2025

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                           17 MARCH 2025




                Figure 13 – Building height comparison from natural ground (red line - left) and from FFL 2.7 AHD (red line –
                                                      right) Gympie Terrace section

               The Applicant’s response to this matter has involved numerous design amendments including
               reducing the number of roof top terraces from 6 to 2 and use of sympathetic building materials
               involving recycled timber for construction of the roof top terrace pergolas.
               Figure 12 indicates two red line measurements of 12 metres building height measured from ground
               level and from the flood level of 2.7 AHD. Importantly, the three storeys will be contained within a
               maximum 12 metre height when measured from ground level or flood level (Figure 13 - red lines).
               It is acknowledged that as part of the applicant’s response to Councils Information request
               substantial amendments were made to the roof volume by reducing the number of roof top terraces
               (from 6 to 2) and removal of communal facilities which reduced the bulk of the roof and maximum
               height from RL 16.9 to 15.6.
               PO9 of the code requires that building height is consistent with structures on adjoining and
               surrounding premises and do not visually dominate the street or surrounding area. Existing
               development to the east, south and west of the site contain buildings which are three storeys in
               height.
               The building is setback 9.3 metres from the southern side boundary which will ensure
               overshadowing does not occur to the adjoining residential resort property (Twin Quays/ 9 Albert
               Street).
               It is agreed that due to site flooding an allowance should be made to consider building height above
               12 metres from ground level. Building floor-to-ceiling heights are an appropriate height with
