                                                                                                           3


                     house lots which range in size from 160 to 248M2. On that basis, site cover,
                     gross floor area or plot ratio are excessive and non-compliant.

                     Plot ratio1 means the gross floor area divided by the area of the site. I submit
                     that, in calculating the Site Cover, Gross Floor Area and Plot Ratio, each of these
                     26 housing lots need to individually examined and the results calculated.

                     Adams + Sparkes page 43 para 157 states:

                               5.5.1.5 Effects of Use – Probable Solution S75.1 and Specific Outcome O76

                               157. The proposed development does not comply with Probable
                               Solution S75.1 of the code, as the proposed development is not for a
                               Caravan Park. (Highlighting added)

                               158. Despite this, the proposed development complies with Specific Outcome
                               O75 of the code, as the development provides for low cost accommodation
                               needs.

                     5. The lack of Low Cost accommodation
                     I query where it is proposed to provide this low cost accommodation in the
                     development when the developer intends to sell the Houses in the housing estate
                     for more than the documented median house price of $695,000 in the Peregian
                     Beach area.2

                     6. A speculative ambit claim
                     With all of the acknowledged areas where the DA does not comply with the
                     Noosa Plan, I cannot understand why the developer is putting the Noosa Council
                     and the community to the time and expense of having to consider what is
                     obviously a speculative ambit claim.

                     7. Further non-compliance
                     Sprout Architects refer to the allowable site coverage as 40 percent under the
                     Noosa Plan and, therefore, none of these reconfigured lots would comply.

                     Any DA for Multiple Housing or Detached Housing is an inconsistent use on this
                     Open Space Recreation zoned site and should be rejected.

                     The built form of Multiple Housing is another Inconsistent Use.


                     1 See Noosa Plan page 2.27
                     2 See Adams + Sparkes page 44 para 160. “Further, it is identified that there is a

                     significant gap in the residential market within Peregian Beach, which has
                     resulted in a high median house price of $695,000. It is noted that this is 50%
                     higher than the median house price for the Local Government Area (LGA) of the
                     Sunshine Coast, 37% greater than the Gold Coast and 22% greater than the
                     median for the Brisbane LGA”
