2.0 INTRODUCTION
This Town Planning Report has been prepared by Project Urban on behalf of the applicant, Doonella
Street Pty Ltd. The report is submitted to Noosa Council as part of the common material for a
combined material change of use and operation works application that seeks approval to redevelop
30 - 32 Doonella Street, Tewantin to provide 19 multiple dwellings units and four commercial
tenancies. The application also seeks approval to allow the commercial tenancies to be used for a
variety of commercial uses including offices, health care services, food and drink and indoor sport
and recreation.

The subject site is located within the Tewantin Local Plan area and forms part of the District Centre
Zone in the Noosa Plan 2020. The site previously accommodated seven (7) residential properties
but is now vacant. The proposed land uses are all consistent uses within the District Centre Zone
and the application is code assessable.

Council records will show that a material change of use for Multiple Housing Type 4 (10 units) and
Commercial Business Type 1 Office and Type 2 Medical was originally approved on the site on 21
August 2017. Prior to this decision Council approved a purely residential development comprising
16 units in October 2015. It is important to note that the current proposal has adopted the key
elements of the 2017 approval including the general layout, built form, design and appearance, site
access, proposed access easement for a public thoroughfare and landscape approach. However,
there are some differences between the 2017 approval and the current proposal which are
summarized below:

    •    the addition of a level of residential units above the commercial development which now
         sleeve the front of the car park at ground level;

    •    the total number of residential units within the development has been increased to 19. All
         these units comply with the Council definition of a small dwelling:

    •    the amount of commercial floor space has been reduced from 762m2 to 188m2;

    •    the amount of car parking has been reduced from 52 spaces to 33. The motorbike and cycle
         parking have also been amended accordingly; and

    •    a natural stormwater treatment has replaced the SPEL system included in the original
         approval.

It is also relevant to note that the zoning and building height limit for the site have changed since
the previous approvals and as a result, this current development proposal is a consistent, code
assessable, proposal under the new Noosa Plan 2020. The applications previously approved on the
site were both impact assessable and inconsistent with the Superseded Noosa Plan 2006.

The purpose of this town planning report is to explain the proposed development, describe the
application site and its locality, and provide an assessment of the proposal against the relevant
planning documents which include the:

      •    State Planning Regulatory Provisions;
      •    State Planning Policies; and
      •    Noosa Plan 2020.

This Town Planning Report concludes that the proposed mixed use development which will add
to the supply of smaller, affordable, residential units within the Tewantin Town Centre is consistent
with the Council’s intent for the site and should be approved subject to reasonable and relevant
conditions.

3.0 BACKGROUND
3.1      PRIOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS

As outlined above, a material change of use for Multiple Housing Type 4 (16 units) was approved
on the site on 23 October 2015 under Council reference MCU15/0053. Although the residential
use was inconsistent with the Community Services Zone that applied to the site in the Superseded
Noosa Plan 2006, Council accepted that there was not an identifiable need for additional
community services in Tewantin and that the small units proposed in the application had good
access to urban services and were consistent with the developed character of the area. This
approval was not implemented and has now lapsed.

In August 2017, Council approved a material change of use of the site for Multiple Housing Type 4
(10 units) and Commercial Business Type 1 office and Type 2 Medical under application reference
MCU17/0014. A Negotiated Decision Notice was subsequently issued on 27 September 2017. In
summary, this decision approved the redevelopment of the site for 10 small residential units and
762m2 of commercial floor space. A summary of the some of the key elements of the approved
development which are relevant to the current application are summarised in the table below.
These key elements were designed to respond to the relevant sections of the Superseded Noosa
Plan 2006.

                     Criteria                             Approved Development

                                            for left in and left out turns only.
          Waste                             The approved plans reflected Council agreement
                                            to allow the waste bins to be accessed through
                                            the Sidoni Street car park and lane.
          Public               Thoroughfare The approved plans included a 3m wide public
          Easement                          thoroughfare easement at the rear of the site for
                                            a new public right of way between Sidoni Lane
                                            and Doonella Street.

When approving the application, Council accepted that it would result in a change to the
streetscape and surrounding properties but considered that it was acceptable given that it
presented as three (3) separate buildings from the street. A number of conditions were included in
the Decision Notice that required the materials and form of these buildings to satisfactorily
integrate with the surrounding area.

The main conclusions in the Council’s assessment report for the application were as follows:

    •    mixed commercial and residential uses were considered appropriate and in context with the
         surrounding business centre;

    •    the proposed development had desirable planning elements including the introduction of
         small dwelling units into the area with excellent access to Tewantin’s facilities and services.

    •    a new 3 metre wide public thoroughfare was to be created along the rear boundary, which
         will create a new access route between Council’s adjacent carparks and laneway.

    •    the development’s design was generally consistent with the intent for the area;

    •    the proposal did not raise any significant planning concerns and grounds to support the
         development, were considered to comprise:

              o   the multiple dwelling use is existing on the site;

              o   the development will provide centrally located small dwelling units with access to
                  Tewantin’s facilities and services; and

              o   the development’s small dwelling units will increase residential housing options in
                  the locality and are likely to be relatively affordable.

Given Council’s approval of MCU17/0014 and its acceptance of the key elements set out above,
the current proposal has adopted many of these key elements for continuity.

4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
4.1      SUBJECT SITE

The subject site is situated at 30-32 Doonella Street, Tewantin, and is described as Lot 32 on
RP893427 and Lot 903 on T1631.

The application site has a total area of 2,539m2. Lot 32 on RP893427 has an area of 2,023m2 and is
regular in shape. The site is currently vacant but there were two separate buildings on the site which
contained a total of six (6) residential units. There is still a single access driveway to Doonella Street
which is located to the east of the pedestrian crossing in front of the site.

Lot 903 on T1631, which has an area of 516m2, is also regular in shape. The site is also vacant but
there was previously a two storey detached dwelling on this lot. The site has two dropped kerbs
which provide vehicle access to the site. These dropped kerbs are located either side of the
Poinciana trees located in front of the site.

The site’s location and context are illustrated in Figures 1 below:

A survey of the application site is included in the supporting documents. The survey shows that the
site slopes from its north western to its south eastern corner. The ground level falls approximately
3.5m across the site.

There are overhead powerlines that run along the frontage of the lots and a single yellow line in
front of the site which prevents on-street parking.

4.2      SURROUNDING LAND USES

The site is located directly to the south of the Ponciana Avenue, the main commercial street in
Tewantin. Given the proximity of the site to the centre of Tewantin, it is highly accessible by public
transport and is within easy walking distance of the centre.

Figure 1 above also shows that public parking abuts the eastern and north-western boundaries of
Lot 32. Directly to the north of the subject site is the service area for the commercial units fronting
Poinciana Avenue.

A public car park also abuts the northern boundary of Lot 903 and directly to the west was an old
residential property which was last used by the Salvation Army to provide temporary residential
accommodation. This building has now been demolished.

The remaining lots on Doonella Street are in commercial use with a service station on the corner
of Doonella and Memorial Avenue and a doctors surgery on the corner of Doonella and Sidoni
Street.

Directly opposite the site on Doonella Road are residential properties.

A series of 3D impressions (20531 SD014 – 20531 SD17) are also included in the proposal plans to
illustrate how certain aspects of the development will look.

The Proposal Plans show that the proposed layout consists of four (4) buildings, one located at the
rear of the site and three fronting Doonella Street.

The residential units will be located on both of the two levels of the building at the rear of the site
and on level one of the three buildings at the front of the site. The buildings sit above a
undercroft/partial basement level which will be used for parking. The car park is sleeved by the four
(4) commercial tenancies which are located at ground level at the front of the site to address
Doonella Street. Although the buildings at the front of the site will be connected by pedestrian
walkways they have been designed to present as separate buildings to Doonella Street.

The plans also show that all the proposed buildings sit well below the maximum height limit for
the site of 10m above ground level and have been designed as two storeys buildings to be
consistent with the scale of built form Council is seeking within this part of the District Centre Zone.
This scale of built form is also consistent with that approved by Council as part of MCU17/0014.

The proposed minimum building setbacks on each boundary are set out in the table below:

                         Boundary                         Setback (m)
                         Front (Doonella Street)          2.5m
                         Rear (southern)                  5.51m
                         Side (western)                   2.49m
                         Side (eastern)                   1.5m

Although the minimum setback to the staircase to the residential units on the upper floor of the
front buildings is 2.5m, the balance of the buildings along this frontage comply with the Council’s
preferred minimum setback of 6m to the front boundary. In this respect, it is important to note
that the staircase and landing area has a combined length of 5.5m which comprises approximately
10% of the total length of the buildings that front Doonella Street.

The total gross floor area of the proposed development is 1,722m2 which complies with the
maximum floor area permitted for the District Centre Zone, which allows for up to 1,761.70m2 of
gross floor area.

The proposed layout shows a separate entrance and exit from the site for motor vehicles. To
minimise potential conflicts with the pedestrian crossing located in front of the site on Doonella
Street, the site entrance is located to the west of the crossing and the exit to the east. Consistent
with the current material change of use approval, vehicle movements will be restricted to left in
and left out only.

The main pedestrian access to the building is located at the front of the commercial buildings and
has been located to connect directly with the pedestrian crossing on Doonella Street. A staircase
provides access to the residential units from the street. A second pedestrian access is provided at
the rear of the site.

The floor plans show that nine residential units are proposed above the commercial tenancies at
the front of the site. The remaining ten (10) residential units are provided in the two (2) buildings
at the rear of the site.

Overall, the development provides 18 x 2 bedrooms and 1 x 3 bedroom residential units. All these
units have been designed with open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. Further details of the
proposed layouts are provided in the Proposal Plans.

The proposed floor plans also show that each unit is provided with private open space. At ground
floor level in the rear building, the units have a rear balcony and garden as well as a courtyard next
to the front entrance to the unit. On the upper level of this building, each unit has a rear balcony
and front courtyard area. In the front building each unit has at least one (1) balcony. Some units
also have a second balcony or courtyard.

The proposal plans show that overall a total of 567m2 of private open space is provided within the
development which equates to over 22% of the total site area.

In addition to the private open space, the layout also provides over 800m of landscaping which
equates to more than 31% of the total site area.

LANDSCAPE
The landscape concept plans in the supporting documents show that the proposed landscaping
provides a minimum 2m wide buffer, where practical, along the Doonella Street frontage.

Along the rear property boundary, the majority of the area adjacent to the boundary will be
provided as an access easement as required by Council as part of the previous approval. Given the
purpose of the proposed easement, no details of landscaping have been prepared at this time but
landscaping will be provided to help screen the bin enclosure in this location.

Along the northern eastern side boundary a minimum 1m landscape is provided along the side
boundary with the adjoining car park. A bio retention basin is proposed along the balance of this
side boundary.

A 2m wide soft landscape buffer is proposed along the southern portion of the western boundary
which adjoins the former Salvation Army site. Along the rear boundary at the back of the residential
building in this corner of the site, a 1m wide landscape strip is provided to help screen the adjoining
car park. Consistent with the current approval, a pedestrian footpath is provided along the balance
of the western boundary which immediately abuts the established landscaping in the adjoining car
park.

The landscape plan illustrates that the landscape buffers will be planted with a variety of native
species that are consistent with the Council’s list of preferred plants.

ACCESS AND PARKING
Consistent with the 2017 approval, both the proposed vehicle entrance and exit have minimum
widths of 4m. In accordance with the current development approval, the proposed access and
egress from the site will be restricted to left in left out only. The entrance and exit points were
located to provide suitable separation distances to the pedestrian crossing in front of the site. The
site plan and landscape concept plan in the supporting documents illustrate, that one street tree
will need to be removed for the proposed entrance and this will be replaced elsewhere within the
street verge in front of the site.

The proposed development includes a total of 33 car parking spaces. 20 of these parking spaces
will be provided for the residential units and the remaining 15 spaces will be provided for the
commercial tenancies.

In addition to the car parking, a total of 12 motorbike parking spaces and 7 bike parking spaces
are provided. In addition to the dedicated bike parking, residents will be able to store bikes in the
storage areas provided within the basement.

Overall, the number of car, motorbike and bike parking spaces is considered to comply with the
requirements of the Driveways & Parking Code in the Noosa Plan.

SERVICING
Bin enclosures are provided on the northern boundary of the site. As agreed as part of the previous
development approval, the refuse bins will be collected and emptied from the Council land to the
rear of the site.

INFRASTRUCTURE
A Site based stormwater management plan has been prepared by Alta Engineers and this is
included in the supporting documents. The Plan provides details of the proposed strategy for
collecting, treating and discharging stormwater from the site. The report has been prepared in
accordance with Council policy and current best practice. The reports recommends a bio-retention
basin which will be located in the south western corner of the site.

It should be noted that the proposed Site Plan confirms that the finished floor level of the basement
will be RL 5.70, which will allow the basement to gravity drain to a pit located to the south east of
the site in Doonella Street (RL 3.0).

The site is already connected all the necessary urban services including water, sewer, electricity and
telecommunications.

6.0 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
6.1      SURVEY

A Contour and Detail Survey prepared by Sight Survey is included in the supporting documents.
The survey shows that the site slopes from its north western towards its south eastern corner.

6.2      ARCHITECTURAL

Proposal plans prepared by Archicology are included in the supporting documents. The plans
include site plan, floors plans, elevations and sections. The plans demonstrate that the proposal
results in an attractive built form and facade to Doonella Street that will complement the character
of the locality and surrounding buildings. The development incorporates various building material
and landscape elements that provide visual interest.

6.3      LANDSCAPE

Landscape Concept Plans prepared by Project Urban are included in the supporting documents.
These plans demonstrate that the proposal achieves an attractive and appropriate landscape
design that will complement the character of the locality, provides visual interest and separation
between the proposed uses in the development.


6.4      ENGINEERING & STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

An Engineering Report, Engineering Plans and Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Alta
Engineers are included in the supporting documents. The reports demonstrate that the proposed
stormwater management regime will comply with the relevant sections of the Noosa Plan and
current best practice. The Report and plans also provide details of the proposed earthworks and
confirm that the site can be connected to all necessary services.

6.5      ARBORIST REPORT

An Arboriculture Assessment Report has been prepared by Tree Solutions and is included in the
application documents. This report assessed the viability of retaining existing street trees at the
front of the site. The report was prepared in November 2019 for a previous operational works
application (OPW19/0182) that sought approval for the detailed engineering works associated with
the previous approval, MCU17/0014. However, as the proposed works along the street frontage in
this current application will remain the same as those proposed in OPW19/0182) the report remains
valid.

7.0 STATE PLANNING INTERESTS
The Planning Regulation 2017 prescribes assessment benchmarks that an application must be
assessed against, which are additional or alternative to the benchmarks contained within local
planning instruments. The assessment benchmarks are contained within:

      •   The Regional Plan and Part E of the State Planning Policy, to the extent that they are not
          appropriately integrated into the Planning Scheme; and

      •   Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017.

Part E of State Planning Policy, the SEQ Regional Plan and Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation
are addressed below.

7.1       SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLAN

The site is subject to the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (regional plan). Under the
regional plan, the subject site is included within the Urban Footprint and the proposed
development which comprises a range or urban related uses is entirely consistent with this
designation. On this basis, no further assessment against the SEQ Regional Plan is necessary.

7.2       STATE PLANNING POLICY

The State Planning Policy (SPP) defines the Queensland Government’s policies about matters of
state interest in land use planning and development. The SPP only applies to development
assessment if the Planning Scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the SPP. If there is a
discrepancy between a local planning scheme and the SPP, then what is outlined in the SPP
overrides the Planning Scheme.

Section 2.1 of the Noosa Plan 2020 confirms that the SPP has been appropriately integrated into
the plan except for the part of the Natural hazards, risk and resilience policy relating to erosion
prone areas in coastal areas. As the application site is not located in an erosion prone area identified
on the SPP interactive mapping, no further assessment against the SPP is required.

7.3       STATE DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT PROVISIONS

The State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) set out the matters of interest to the state
for development assessment, where the state assessment and referral agency (SARA) is responsible
for assessing or deciding development applications as assessment manager or as a referral agency.
The SDAP is not applied by local government in the assessment of development applications.

A review of Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017, has confirmed that the proposed
development does not trigger referral to any State agencies and as such, the SDAP is not applicable
to the application.

Comment
The above assessment demonstrates that the proposed development satisfies the relevant Overall
Outcomes of the Tewantin Local Plan Code.

A detailed assessment of the proposal against the balance of the Code is included in the supporting
documents. In summary, this assessment confirms that the proposal also generally complies with
the relevant Performance and Acceptable Outcomes in the Code. It should be noted though that
an alternative solution is proposed in relation to one Acceptable Outcome, AO4, which is discussed
further below:

8.3.1     ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION – ACCEPTABLE OUTCOME – AO4

Acceptable Outcome AO4 reads as follows:

         “Development adjacent to McKinnon Drive, Butler Street, Cooroy– Noosa Road, Beckmans
         Road, Moorindil Street, Poinciana Avenue, Doonella Street, Memorial Avenue, Sidoni Street
         and Hilton Terrace incorporates landscaping that complements the natural species
         occurring in the local area, protects existing vegetation within the road reserve and
         incorporates design elements that add visual interest to the streetscape”.

Although the proposed landscape design includes species that are in keeping with the local area
and there are design elements within the building that will create an attractive street frontage,
based on previous discussions with Unitywater, it will not be practical to retain the four (4) existing
street trees in front of the site as a result of the need to reconstruct the existing water main which
is 1.5m – 1.8m from the road verge. The Arboriculture Report prepared by Tree Solutions which is
included in the supporting documents, confirms that this work will be well within the tree protection

zone (TPZ) of the trees and will significantly compromise their condition. The report advises that a
TPZ of 5-6 metres would normally be applied to these trees which should not be disturbed by the
proposed works. However, given the location of the water main it will not be possible to avoid
impacts within the TPZ and the report therefore concludes that it will not be viable to retain the
trees and a strategy to replace them should be pursued. On this basis, the landscape plan submitted
as part of the application documentation shows the replacement of these street trees within the
frontage of the site once the civil works required to satisfy Council and Unitywater have been
completed. Given the proposed landscape outcome it is considered that the proposal satisfies the
overarching Performance Outcome, PO4, which state that:

         “The visual amenity surrounding the major road network and entry roads is protected and
         enhanced”.

Given the proposed alternative solution complies with PO4, the proposed development is
considered to comply with all the relevant assessment benchmarks in the Tewantin Local Plan Area
Code.

Comment
The above assessment demonstrates that the proposed development satisfies the relevant Overall
Outcomes of the District Centre Zone Code.

A detailed assessment of the proposal against the balance of the Code is also included in the
supporting documents. In summary, this assessment confirms that the proposal generally complies
with the relevant Performance and Acceptable Outcomes in the Code but an alternative solution is
proposed in relation to the standard front building setback set out in Acceptable Outcome, AO17.1
and this is discussed further below.

8.4.1 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION – ACCEPTABLE OUTCOME – AO17.1
The proposed layout complies with the side and rear setbacks required by AO17.1. The whole
frontage of the building also complies with the 6m setback to the front property boundary but the
staircase which provides access to the residential units on the first floor encroaches approximately
4m into the preferred front setback. This element of the proposal therefore needs to be assessed
against the relevant Performance Outcome PO17 which reads as follows:

        “Buildings and other structures are appropriately designed and sited to:

                a)     provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and
                       acoustic amenity of adjoining and nearby properties;
                b)     allow space for required vehicle parking;
                c)     preserve any existing vegetation to buffer the building;
                d)     allow for landscaping between buildings;
                e)     maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape
                       elements within the street;
                f)     avoid large areas of continuous wall planes by varying the building setbacks
                       and using appropriate techniques to provide visual relief; and
                g)     help protect the natural character and visual amenity of the Noosa River
                       system and other watercourses where relevant.

When assessing the potential impacts of the proposed staircase it is important to consider the
following:

    •    The total length of the three buildings at the front of the site is approximately 54m. In
         comparison, the landing area of the staircase is 3m wide while the stairs from ground level
         which return to the east, extend for approximately 3.5m. Together the landing and stairs
         therefore comprise 6.5m which represents just 12% of the total frontage of the buildings.

    •    A similar staircase was approved at the front of the building approved in MCU17/0014
         which had a minimum setback of 3.3m to the front boundary of the site. The staircase has
         been pushed towards the road to provide a footpath along the front of the building that
         provides level access to the commercial tenancies that are now located at ground level.

With specific regard to PO17 the following should be noted:

    •    given the context of the site, it is considered it will not have any adverse impact on the
         amenity of future residents/tenants either on the site or within the surrounding area;

    •    the staircase has no impact on parking on the site;

      •   there is no existing vegetation that will be affected by the staircase;

      •   the landscape plans illustrate that an attractive landscape outcome can still be provided at
          the front of the site;

      •   given the variety of land uses along this section of Doonella Street there is no consistent
          building line along the northern side of the street;

      •   the front elevation of the development has been designed to break down its size and scale
          and to provide an interesting and varied design that will be visually attractive and make a
          positive contribution to the streetscape of Doonella Street; and

      •   the development will have no impact on the character or amenity of the Noosa River.

For the reasons set out above, it is considered the proposed design is consistent with the outcomes
sought in PO17.

Overall, it is considered that the alternative solution proposed in the application complies with
PO17 and as such, the development is considered to comply with all the relevant assessment
benchmarks in the District Centre Zone Code.

8.5       DEVELOPMENT CODES

In accordance with Table 5.5.6, Table of Assessment for the District Centre Zone, the following
Codes are applicable to the proposed development:

      •   Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
      •   Business Activities Code;
      •   Community Activities Code; and
      •   Recreation Activities Code.

Comment: The proposal has been assessed against the relevant sections of these Codes. Given the
location of the site within the District Centre Zone, where all of the proposed uses are code
assessable, consistent uses, the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling and Business Activities
Codes are considered to be the most relevant codes and a detailed assessment of the proposal
against both of these codes has therefore been included in the supporting documents.

The assessment of the proposal against these codes confirms that it complies with all the applicable
Overall, Performance and Acceptable Outcomes in the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling
Code.

The proposal is also considered to comply with the Overall and Performance Outcomes in the
Business and Activities Code. However, an alternative solution is proposed to AO6 which seeks to
ensure that ground floor tenancies have a minimum ceiling height of 3.5m to allow flexibility of
use. As the tenancies do not comply with this minimum ceiling height, the proposal has been
assessed against the overarching Performance Outcome, PO6, which reads as follows:


 Development Assessment Report                                                               Page 24 of 28

         “Ground floor spaces and ceiling heights are flexible to cater for a range of business
         activities”.

The proposed tenancies have a maximum height of 2.7m and when considering this it is important
to note that the current design seeks to balance a number of different factors which include:

              •   a need to limit the building height to 2 storeys;

              •   a need to minimise the amount of earthworks required on site;

              •   maintaining a satisfactory relationship with the levels on the adjoining sites and
                  within Doonella Street; and

              •   providing level and equitable access throughout the residential development.

It is considered that the current proposal successfully balances all of these factors whilst providing
tenancies that are suitable for a variety of the commercial uses, consistent with PO6.

In conclusion, it is considered that the proposal complies with all the relevant assessment
benchmarks in the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling and Business Activities Codes.
