                 Issue - Plot ratio
                 PO 12 of the Tourist Accommodation zone code states a maximum plot ratio of 0.8:1.
                 For the site this equates to a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 2,998 m² (3748 X0.8).
                 GFA is defined as:
                 Gross floor area
                 Gross floor area for a building, means the total floor area of all storeys of the building,
                 measured from the outside of the external walls and the centre of any common walls of the
                 building, other than areas used for—
                     a)building services, plant or equipment; or
                     b)access between levels; or
                     c) a ground floor public lobby; or
                     d)a mall; or
                     e)parking, loading or manoeuvring vehicles; or
                     f) unenclosed private balconies, whether roofed or not.

                 Each of the accommodation units incorporate a ‘double door’ entry arrangement which creates
                 a private entry for each unit. These areas should be included in the GFA calculations for the
                 development.
                 Information Required
                 18. Provide additional information and clarification as to the use of the area external to each
                     of the accommodation units. If a formal entry to each of the accommodation units occurs
                     at the first door, Council’s view is that these areas contribute to GFA and should be added
                     to the overall development calculations.
                 19. It also appears that there are areas of the roof level which also comprise GFA. Amend
                     plans and calculations to identify and include the areas of GFA on the fourth floor.

                 rear property boundaries.
                 Information Required
                 20. Provide a revised set of architectural, engineering and landscape plans that comply with
                     the requirements for AO9.2 of the Visitor Accommodation Code.

                 an average of 1 metre and articulated to provide visual interest by stepping the design at a
                 maximum of 5 metre intervals.
