1.   Summary

RG Strategic has prepared this development application on behalf of Edward Street Development
Pty Ltd. The subject site is located at 23 Edward Street, Noosaville 4566, and is formally described
as Lot 0, 1 and 2 on GTP492 as shown on Figure 3. Noting this will change subject to titling of the
new Dual Occupancy consisting of 2 x 3 bedroom dwellings.

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of
Use for a Dual Occupancy use and a Development Permit for Demolition.

The site is included in the Medium Density Residential Zone within the Noosaville Local Plan area of
the Noosa Plan 2020. An application of this nature within the Medium Density Residential Zone and
for a Development Permit for demolition triggers Code Assessment.

The proposed development of this site constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the
Planning Act 2016. This report demonstrates that the proposed Material Change of Use of Premises
for a Dual Occupancy is permitted.

This planning report provides greater detail of the nature of the proposal, describes the site
characteristics and surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory assessment against the intents
and code requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020. These matters are set out in;

          • Proposed development intent;

          • Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;
          • Proposed development details;

          • An assessment of the proposal against the State planning interests;

          • An assessment of the proposal against the SEQ Regional Plan;
          • An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2020; and

          • A conclusion that summarises the grounds which support the proposed development.


This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form 1 and
Appendix A Proposal Plans prepared by Tim Ditchfield Architects. This report comprehensively
addresses the merits of the development with regard to the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 and
other relevant matters as prescribed in the Planning Act 2016. The development is appropriate and
is not anticipated to impact upon the amenity of the locality. Council’s approval of the application
is therefore sought, subject to relevant and reasonable conditions.

3.   Development Intent

Edward Street Development Pty Ltd (the Applicant) is seeking to establish a Dual Occupancy on the
site at 23 Edwards Street, Noosaville 4566. The existing duplex will be demolished, and an

include a Development Permit for demolition of that building.

The configuration of the proposed duplex is listed below and as represented in Figure 1:

     •   One unit per floor

     •   Unit 1 ground floor – 124.53m²,

     •   Unit 2 upper floor – 120.47m2,

     •   Garage for 4 x vehicles,

     •   Swimming pool on the ground floor for unit 1 and upper level pool for unit 2.

6. State Planning Interests

The following is an assessment of how the proposed development addresses the relevant statutory
planning documents.


6.1 Planning Act

The Planning Act 2016 (‘the Act’) is the relevant statutory instrument under which development
applications are assessed. The development application is made in accordance with s.51 of the Act.



6.2 Referral Agencies and State Development Assessment Provisions

Referral matters for this proposal have been assessed against the provisions of Schedule 10 of the
Planning Regulation 2017. A review of the State Assessment Referral Agency’s (SARA) DA online
mapping system has confirmed the following Matters of State interest.

6.3 State Planning Policy

The State Planning Policy (SPP) provides the legislative guidance with regard to the Queensland
Government’s policies and matters of state interest for land use for the purposes of planning
development. The SPP applies to development assessment should the local planning instrument
(planning scheme) not appropriately integrate the SPP. Where there is any inconsistency with the
planning scheme the SPP prevails.

Part 2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 states that the SPP Natural hazards, risks and resilience is partly
integrated. However, no further assessment against is required as the subject site is not located in
a coastal management district.



6.4 South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017

The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (SEQRP) guides land use and development in the
region. The subject land is located inside the Urban Footprint of the SEQRP. As detailed within this
report above, the proposed development is consistent with the intent of the urban footprint policies
and desired outcomes for the SEQRP.

7.    Noosa Council Planning Scheme Considerations

The subject site is located within the Medium Density Residential Zone and the proposed Dual
Occupancy use is subject to assessment under the Noosa Plan 2020. The following is a review of the
proposed development under the Noosa Plan 2020.



7.1   Land Use Definition

The Noosa Plan 2020 defines Dual Occupancy as:

          a) means a residential use of premises for 2 households involving—
               i.    2 dwellings (whether attached or detached) on a single lot or 2 dwellings (whether
                     attached or detached) on separate lots that share a common property; and
               ii.   any domestic outbuilding associated with the dwellings; but
          b) does not include a residential use of premises that involves a secondary dwelling.



7.2 Zone

The Noosa Plan 2020 identifies the site within the Medium Density Residential Zone.



7.3 Level of Assessment

Within Part 5 of the Noosa Plan 2020, Table 5.5.2 – Medium Density Residential prescribes that the
proposed Dual Occupancy is subject to Code assessment.



7.4 Local Plan

The subject site is located within the Noosaville Local Plan Area.



7.5 Applicable Development Codes

As identified in Section 7.3 of this report, the proposed Dual Occupancy use is subject to Code
Assessment within the Medium Density Residential Zone. The following Development Codes are
applicable to the proposed use:

      •   Noosaville Local Plan Area Code,
      •   Medium Density Residential Zone Code,
      •   Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code,

      •   Works Codes including the Waste Management Code and the Water Quality and Drainage
          Code specifically for demolition

Page 12

The abovementioned development codes are considered below.


Noosaville Local Plan Area Code
The purpose of the Noosaville Local Plan Code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for
the assessment of development within the Noosaville area.

The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosaville Local Plan area and are relevant to the
proposed development:

The following overall outcomes and Performance outcomes of the Noosaville Local Plan Code are
relevant to the proposed development:

(s)      Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones accommodates a
         greater diversity in housing types including dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement
         facilities and residential care facilities.

(t)      Development ensures permanent residents of Noosaville enjoy high levels of residential
         amenity and accessibility to urban services and recreational opportunities.

         PO2
         Development contributes to the lifestyle and amenity of permanent residents of Noosaville,
         and services communities outside of the local plan area.

         PO7
         Buildings, structures and landscaping are integrated with the natural landscape and reflect
         the riverside character and setting of the local plan area in terms of form, composition and
         protection of neighbourhood amenity.

         AO7.1
         Development takes the form of small separate buildings rather than large single bulky
         buildings and does not visually dominate the street, riverfront, adjacent properties,
         surrounding spaces or the existing skyline.

         AO7.2
         Buildings and structures have a scale and building height consistent with development on
         adjoining and surrounding land.

         AO7.5
         Buildings and structures:
         (a) incorporate articulated roof forms which are visible from the street and have a pitch of
               no less than 5 degrees;
         (b) incorporate a mix of lightweight and textured external building materials or materials
               that reflect the natural environment such as timber and rock face;
         (c) provide variation through articulation, texture and detailing;
         (d) incorporate verandahs, open balconies or shaded patios for outdoor living, with open,
               transparent or semi-open balustrades;


RG Strategic                             Town Planning Report – Dual Occupancy                      10

Page 13

         (e) use understated colour schemes and low-reflective roofing and cladding materials.



Applicant’s Response:

The proposed Dual Occupancy use complies with the intent of the Noosaville Local Plan Code and
the relevant Performance and Acceptable Outcomes. The built form proposed is harmonious with
the Noosaville vernacular and represents a modern riverside design. A traditional roof design has
been utilised as well as generous eaves and garden beds on the second level to suit the subtropical
climate of Noosaville.

The Architectural Plans (Appendix A) detail a variety of external materials proposed. A corrugated
iron roof, weatherboard wall cladding and screening battens are used for vertical and horizontal
elements that create visual interest and articulation.

The development is designed to minimise overlooking of nearby properties with strategically located
screens and balconies.


Medium Density Residential Zone Code
The proposal seeks some minor siting and streetscape variations. The covered entry walkways and
eaves to the rear boundary encroach into the relevant setbacks set out by AO12.1 and the garages
that face the street do not meet AO15.1 and AO15.2m. Assessment is provided below against the
associated Performance outcomes for these aspects of development.

Rear setback



The proposal seeks a 5.2m setback to the rear boundary for eaves. This is considered an extremely
minor encroachment as the elevation faces wests and the wide eave provides shading to the
building as demonstrated in Figure 4 below. Noting that the building is setback 6.79m, which is
greater than the minimum required of 6m. The setback complies with PO12 as the encroachment:

• Does not cause any overlooking of private open space of neighbouring properties as the building
   is setback greater than the minimum distance required.

• No additional noise will emanate from the subject proposal as a result of the eave as the building
   is setback greater than the minimum required.

• Is setback sufficiently so as not to cause shading of the neighbouring property.

• Allows sufficient space for landscaping.

• Given the elevation faces west, it is a good built form outcome with no impacts on the
   surrounding properties.

Side setback - Entries

The north entry is setback 0.8m and the south entry is setback 0.78m in lieu of the 1.5m set out by

AO12.1(b)(i) which requires a setback.

Figure 5 provides visual clarity of the extent of the setback sought.




Figure 5 - Setback sought
As demonstrated in Figure 5 above, the variation is minor in nature and complies with PO12 for the
following reasons:

• Will not be imposing on the surrounding properties as it is not a bulky structure as it has open
   sides.

• No additional noise will emanate from the site as a result of the roof as pedestrian traffic is
   directed to this area regardless of if being roofed or not.

• The structure is only slightly higher than a site filled fence height and will not obstruct views.

• Does not create overlooking of surrounding properties.

• Landscaping is proposed in the adjoining garden, noting the structure includes a roof top garden
   which contributes to the overall green setting of the development.

Garages

The garages do not comply with AO15.1 and AO15.2 as the garages are a total of 11m in width which
is 1m greater than 50% of the width of the site and there is not proposed to be 2m separation or
staggered.

The corresponding Performance outcome PO15 is provided for reference.

Garages and Carports

PO15
Garages, garage doors and carports do not dominate the street or the building design

It is considered the proposal, while the double garages face the street, will not be the dominate
feature and meet PO15 because the doors are vertical timber look battening and are more of an
architectural feature than appear as garage doors. In addition, the centrally located driveway, the
fence setback and significant landscaping within the frontage will screen most of the doors. The
building with its roof gardens is proposed in a landscaped setting and will contribute positively to
the streetscape. Noting Council has accepted this design element in Edward Street.

Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
The purpose of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code is to ensure dual occupancies are
of a high-quality design which appropriately respond to local character, environment and amenity
considerations.

Applicant’s Response:

The proposed duplex has been assessed against the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
and are considered to the consistent with the Purpose and Overall Outcomes of the Code. The
proposed duplex is located on land that is appropriate for medium density residential living.

The subject site is suitably located and assists in creating a walkable residential neighbourhood that
integrates with transport networks and is well connected to a range of local shops and centres. The
development is within walking distance to Noosa River and Gympie Terrace eating establishments,
Mary Thomas Street shopping and hotel. and the Noosa Junction.

Safe vehicular access to and from the site is provided from Edward Street.




Works Codes
These codes largely relate to the provision of services and infrastructure associated with the
proposed development of the subject land. The subject site currently has access to, or is capable
of being connected to, an appropriate level of infrastructure for its intended urban residential use.

As demonstrated within Table 4, the proposal complies with the requirements of the Driveways and
Parking Code, and Landscaping Code. The proposed development includes the provision of 4 x
covered spaces in a basement configuration. A concept landscape plan is enclosed within Appendix
A and includes a variety of trees, shrubs and ground covers species.

Demolition

The approval can incorporate demolition conditions to ensure best practice erosion and sediment
control and recycling activities occur during this phase of development.

7.6 Applicable Overlay Codes

Noosa Council’s Enterprise Mapping System identifies that the site is affected by the Flood Hazard
Overlay and the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Overlays.

Flood Hazard Overlay requires the development to be constructed to a minimum floor level of 2.7
AHD and as such the proposal meets this outcome.

In addition, the site is affected by the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Overlays and as the development
is likely to exceed the threshold of greater than 100m³ of excavated material at or below 5m AHD
an Acid Sulfate Management Plan will be provided for Operational works approval.



7.7 Planning Scheme Polices

The proposed development has been designed with reference to the relevant planning scheme
polices.

8. Conclusions

The proposed Development Permit for a Material Change of Use (Dual Occupancy) on land at 23
Edwards Street, Noosaville 4566, has been assessed against the requirements of the Local and
State Statutory Planning Requirements.

This report demonstrates that the proposed development is permitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Planning Act 2016 and the Noosa Plan 2020, and the proposed development can be supported
on a number of grounds, including:

• The development application has been made in accordance with the requirements of both the
   Planning Act 2016 and the Development Assessment Rules 2017;

• The proposal is consistent with the Strategic Intent of the Noosa Plan 2020 and does not
   compromise any higher order strategic planning for the area;

• The proposed Duplex is appropriately sited in a Medium Density Residential Zone and is within
   walking distance to a variety of local shops and restaurants along Gympie Terrace and the
   shopping centre at Mary Street;

• The proposed two 3-bedroom units are under the maximum building height and are of a scale
   that is compatible with surrounding development;

• The proposed configuration of the units allows for a high level of amenity to the residents as well
   as to the adjoining premises; and

• The proposed renders demonstrate the variety of materials including textured render, timber
   cladding and battens are which provide visual interest.


On the basis of the above assessment, it is recommended that Noosa Council favourably consider
the proposed Material Change of Use subject to reasonable and relevant conditions. We look
forward to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience.
