Development Assessment Report

 PROJECT URBAN – 16216                                                                    February 2021



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.
