Applicant: TU Projects

Proposal: Material Change of Use for Multiple Housing  Type 4 Conventional (4 units)
Operational Works for Engineering
Operational Works for Landscaping
Site Description

Location: 28 Nannygai Street, Noosaville
RPD: Lot 1 on RP153307
Area of Land: 1,619m2
Current Use: Warehouse (Laundromat – now discontinued), vacant land
South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031
Designation: Urban Footprint
Noosa Plan 2006
5.3.2 Residential Uses Code

Submission
Onlooking to neighbouring homes and yards:
The application states that the proposed development will comply with the relevant probable solutions of the Residential Uses Code in that:
“The proposed development has been designed so that the upper level bedrooms are setback from the ground floor recreation area, such that the ability to directly look into neighbouring homes and yards is avoided;”
From assessment of the elevations contained within the application, it would appear that the design of the upper floor bedrooms of Units 1 and 3 will look directly into the upper floors of the existing units at 33 Nannygai Street. The photos from the subject site to the property at 33 Nannygai Street contained within the application do not accurately reflect the angle in which the subject property is orientated to 33 Nannygai Street.  Further information is requested to clarify this is the case and appropriate mitigation by way of amending the designs to prevent the onlooking to neighbouring properties is made.
Pedestrian Access:
Nannygai Street contains uncompleted footpaths from the location of the proposed development to the shopping centre and the transport (bus stop) network on Wyeba. The application for Operational Works does not address any upgrades to this existing  deficient footpath infrastructure that will be required (on both sides of the street) to provide appropriate pedestrian access.
Thus, it is submitted that given the Impact Assessment of such application that upgrades to footpaths are conditioned for on both sides of Nannygai Street- being from the Western boundary of 33 Nannygai Street to Wyeba Drive and the western boundary of the proposed development to Wyeba Drive.

END.
