NOOSA PLAN 2020 PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 2 - POST PUBLIC NOTIFICATION FOR FINAL STATE GOVERNMENT MINISTERIAL APPROVAL · Attachment 1 Table of submissions

                         numbers right. Perhaps a separate GFA figure is allowable if the dwellings are two storey? For example
                         45% site cover over two stories = 0.9 GFA ( minus garages, outdoor living etc)
                         In the high density residential zone 75:1 does not align with a site cover of 45% if the dwellings are three
                         stories. For example 45% site cover over three stories = 1.35 GFA ( minus garages, outdoor living etc)

                         situation in low density areas.                                                                                  of low density neighbourhoods. Likewise high solid fences are becoming increasingly popular. Both take           proposed amendments as a

                         current wording to enable discretion to be applied where needed.
                         Proposed amendments should be drafted in a way that Acceptable Outcomes are specific, quantifiable
                         measures that are one way of addressing a broader corresponding Performance Outcome. Further, POs
                         should be drafted as broadly as possible so as not to stifle innovation and not be a repeat of the AO
                         criteria. We recommend revising the proposed amendment with this in mind.

             23108802    fences are essential for safety and privacy. The lack of adequate privacy can lead to increased stress and
                         reduced quality of life for these residents. Additionally, Edwards Street, a main road in a 60 km/h zone,
                         should be rezoned to medium density. This change would better align with the needs of the area and
                         improve the overall residential environment. Instead of clearing more bushland to add affordable housing,
                         the council should consider rezoning existing properties or subdividing in-town areas to create more
                         duplexes and address the housing shortage. I recommend revisiting the zoning density of main road
                         properties to better align with residential needs and to address the lack of neighbourhood amenities.
                         Site Coverage Regulations** The 40% site coverage limit hinders property owners from renovating and
                         upgrading their homes. This regulation is overly restrictive and financially burdensome. The council should
                         reconsider this limit to facilitate reasonable property improvements.
