5.1 Dual Occupancy

This application is seeking a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use to establish a Dual
Occupancy. The application constitutes a Material Change of Use (Code Assessable) which will
encompass the following elements:

     •   Removal of the existing dual occupancy and associated structures,

     •   Development of two x 3 bedroom units.

Table 4 lists the key development parameters of the proposed development and their compliance

As demonstrated by Table 4, the proposed development complies with the primary design
parameters prescribed within the Noosa Plan 2020. A minor relaxation is sought for the rear
boundary setback to an eave and a minor encroachment to the entry roof on the north and south
elevations. This is addressed in section 7.5 of this report.
