3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

3.1     Proposed Development Overview

This application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Reconfiguration of a Lot by Urban Subdivision
(1 Lot into 2 Lots) on land described as Lot 1 on RP174646, situated at 9 Butler Street, Tewantin QLD 4565.


The reconfiguration of land will occur in accordance with the Plan of Proposed Subdivision prepared by Bennett
+ Bennett included at Appendix C.


As demonstrated by the Plan of Proposed Subdivision (Appendix C), the design of the proposed subdivision
complies with Table 9.5.1.4 Minimum Lot Size of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code, by ensuring each proposed
lot complies with the minimum lot size requirement, being 600m 2.


A summary of the proposed lots is included below:


 Proposed Lot Description          Proposed Lot Areas              Proposed Lot Frontages
 Proposed Lot 1                    600m2                           15.78m
 Proposed Lot 2                    953m2                           4.2m2 (and access handle length of 38.02m)



3.2     Proposed Access Arrangements

Proposed Lot 1 is configured to a full frontage lot featuring a frontage length of 15.78m, whilst proposed Lot 2
is configured to a rear (hatchet) lot featuring a frontage of 4.2m and an access handle length of 38.02m.


With respect to compliance with the minimum frontage requirements, being 17m for a full frontage lot and 4.5m
for a rear lot, this is difficult to achieve considering the site features a frontage of 20m. In this regard we seek
a relaxation from Council to establish a full frontage lot featuring 15.78m and a rear lot featuring 4.2m. It is
noted that the Reconfiguring a Lot Code supports a 15m frontage in residential zones where there are no more
than five (5) lots with a frontage width of less than 15 metres grouped in a row. It is noted that during our
formal pre-lodgement meeting held with Noosa Council on the 25 November 2020, Council expressed support
for the proposed access arrangement provided the access driveway is constructed to a standard 3m seal and
landscaping can be planted along each side of the access handle; the proposed development will conform in
this regard.
