The proposed design accommodates all the entertainment, garaging and service areas at
ground level with all bedrooms on the first floor, this results in the need for a greater
building envelope at ground level. Council's code further indicated a maximum site cover
of 50% for a single storey residence. In this instance the proposal has a maximum site cover
at ground level of 47.3% (inclusive of roofed terraces) therefore meeting this requirement
for a maximum site cover of 50%.

The proposal currently has a ground floor building area (excluding covered terraces) of
38% falling within the prescribed maximum of 40%. The proposed terraces are roofed as a
necessity to allow better and extended utilisation of the external areas during extreme
temperatures and wet weather that is common on the Sunshine Coast.

Code requires a minimum of 20% soft landscaping. The plans have been adjusted to reflect
a 20.24% provision therefore meeting the codes requirements.

Roof form 600mm eave overhang to entire perimeter. The Architectural design of the
proposal does not warrant the use of a conventional eave overhang to the full perimeter.
Our interpretation of the intent of the code is to provide solar protection to habitable
room windows by means of eave protection. The proposal has eaves provided over every
habitable room window on all elevations, therefore achieving the same intent.

We have provided below calculations showing the percentage of eave provided to the
perimeter of the building.

e Perimeter of ground floor building protected by eaves (61%)

e Perimeter of first floor building protected by eaves (76%)

The design of the eaves in this instance are a combination of a standard detail, ie as an
extension of the roof, and contemporary design that of an eave mounted on the face of
the wall. In both instances the solar protection is the same.

Roof form, Building has a roof pitch of 5°.

The roof plans have been incorporated on the attached documents.

The roof is generally of a 5° pitch for 71% of the building area with the remainder at 2°.
The roof form has been dictated by the intent of the architectural style. Noosa Waters has
a variety of styles consisting of conventional pitched roofs and more recently, a more
contemporary style has evolved consisting of low pitched roofs with and without parapets.
The style of this proposal is in keeping with the direction of the latter. The proposal
contains all elements of the more contemporary design not limited to the roof only, and
consists of low pitched roofs, some parapet walls, eye lid eave details, natural rock walls,
large expanses of glass, rendered walls, large terraces encompassing the Noosa lifestyle of
indoor and outdoor living, cross natural ventilation and open plan design. All resulting in an
appropriate design style in keeping with the Noosa design.

Water Storage

The attached plans have been corrected to indicate the location of the 5000 litre water
storage tank to collect roof water that is to be used for domestic water to toilets and the
washing machine.
