REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval to change the approved plans for the development of Precinct F
of Noosa Springs.
The applicant has provided the following schedule of changes to the plans:
   It is proposed to change the description of the development to reflect the proposed
     reduction in dwelling unit numbers anticipated by this permissible change request. The new
     description of development will be as follows:-
     Material Change of Use – 137 Multiple Dwelling Units and Associated Facilities –
     Shop, Restaurant, Multi- Function Room and Gym
   Reduce the overall number of dwelling units from 145 to 137;
   Amend the overall number of persons from 426.5 to 425.6. This proposed density remains
     consistent with the anticipated density under the Noosa Plan of 100 persons / hectare (i.e.
     4.262ha x 100 = 426.2 persons);
   Minor increase in overall gross floor area from 20.046.5m2 to 20,083m2 (nb. the original
     approved GFA was 21,950m2);
   Minor redesign of central communal facilities, wherein such changes are generally
     contained to the arrangement of ‘back of house’ servicing facilities, with no significant
     changes to either the scale or the external appears of the built form;
   Rationalisation of pedestrian networks across the development;
   Minor amendments to the driveway and parking arrangements in the southern part of the
     site to achieve access arrangements and reflect other changes proposed in Precinct E2. It
     is recognised that the amendments to the driveway will also necessitate a consequential
     amendment to the approval over the adjacent Precinct E2 (Council Ref: MCU15/0109).
   Minor amendments to the orientation of unit blocks 13 and 14 to increase the efficiency of
     the layout and function of these buildings;
   Introduction of a new 3 bedroom unit type into Block 14 and 3 new unit types into Block 2;
   Minor variations to the building heights generally as follows:-
     o    Block 3 – the height of this building has been increased by approximately 350mm
          generally as a consequence of minor changes to the floor to floor heights of individual
          levels of the building. The purpose of this change in floor to floor heights was to
          introduce greater acoustic treatment between levels. Notwithstanding this change,
          the overall building height remains below 12m;
     o    Blocks 16 and 17 – the floor to ceiling heights of individual levels has increased
          slightly for these units blocks, however the overall height remains under the
          maximum RL approved (i.e. RL44.7) under the most recent change approval. This is
          achieved by a minor change to the roof pitch for these buildings;
