Condition 16(f) and (g)

Queensland Development Code MP1.3 states:

        “...Swimming pools may be within the boundary clearances nominated in A2(a) and (b) where -
                (i) a solid wall or fence, constructed to prevent water entry onto adjoining lots, at least
                1.8m high above finished ground level, is erected between the swimming pool and the
                boundary of the lot; and
                (ii) the top of the wall or fence is at least 1.0m above the top of the coping of the pool…”

Drawing A.05.01 (TP4) Building Sections Plan prepared by Hive Architecture confirms that the proposal
can achieve a 1.8m high solid wall to prevent water entry onto adjoining lots, and the top of the fence is
at least 1m above the top of the coping of the pool. Refer to Figure 1 below.




                   Figure 1: Extract of rear fence height adjoining pool (Hive Architect Plans)

As such, we request that Condition 16 is amended as follows:

16. The development site must be landscaped. The works must be undertaken in accordance with an
Operational Works approval and the Noosa Plan and in particular the Noosa Plan - PSP2 – Landscaping
Planning Scheme Policy for that specific area and must include in particular:

        a. a minimum one (1) metre wide landscaping strip between the fence and the front property
        boundary along the Weyba road frontage of the subject site, exclusive of the access driveway,
        generally uncompromised by infrastructure items;




                                                                                                          2
