Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU24 0094 [As Published] · MCU24/0094

               The proposed development is for a substantial two storey, split level Dwelling house. The dwelling
               is roughly ‘L” shaped in footprint and is proposed to be located parallel and following the curve of
               the Ross Cresent frontage and towards the eastern rear boundary (beach frontage).
               The uppermost ‘first floor’ level comprises the primary entrance from Ross Cresent, 5 bedrooms,
               family room, laundry and meditation suite and is 469m² in gross floor area (GFA). The external
               terrace at this level also provides stair access to an open rooftop terrace of approximately 31m².
               The lower ‘upper ground level’ contains parking for up to 9 vehicles, storage and building services
               room, kitchen / dining areas and extensive outdoor dining / terrace spaces and pool. This floor is
               281m² GFA.
               The ‘lower ground level’, extending towards the eastern beach frontage contains a rumpus room,
               sauna / gym and pool store. This floor is 217m² GFA.
               A calculation of the development over the above three split levels results in a total site GFA of
               approximately 967 square metres and maximum site coverage of 30%. Figures 2 & 4 outline the
               proposal in further detail.
               Vehicle access to the site will use the existing crossover and driveway location ramping down the
               site to a large garage area. Due to the site slope the driveway ramp will be suspended in part with
               portions approximately 1.5 metres above ground level and setback 2.5 metres from the northern
               boundary.
               The site contains two side boundaries to the north and south, an eastern rear boundary adjoining
               the Sunshine Beach Foreshore Reserve. The site does not contain a coastal build line.
               The proposed development requests alternatives to the Noosa plan 2020 Low Density Residential
               zone code acceptable outcomes in relation to:
                         •   Front setback AO9.1.
                         •   Exceedance of maximum GFA within the Low-Density Residential zone of 500 square
                             metres AO8.2; and
                         •   Rooftop terrace AO16.3 and AO7.2 of Coastal Communities local plan code.
               The entire site is located within the Coastal protection and scenic amenity overlay and is mapped
               within the Coastal Hazards, erosion prone area. BMT Coastal Engineering consultants were
               engaged on behalf of Noosa Council to peer review coastal hazard engineering reports prepared
               by the Applicant’s consultants HASKONING AUSTRALIA PTY LTD and Moffatt and Nocol.
               Several other technical assessments have been submitted to support the application. These
               include:
                         •   Westra Partners - Site based stormwater management plan.
                         •   Tectonic geotechnical and environmental engineers - Geotechnical investigation.
