Executive Summary
The proposed combined development application for a Material Change of Use (Multiple Dwelling (6
x Small Dwellings)) and associated Operational Works is located at 24 Moorindil Street, Tewantin
(real property descriptions of Lot 2 on RP89425). The site measures 1004m2.

location for the development is considered to be a suitable distance away from the Toolar Street /
Moorindil Street intersection. Furthermore, the proposed development accommodates compliant
car parking supply on site, therefore not absorbing the supply of existing on-street car parking within
the area. Subject to compliance with relevant and reasonable conditions of approval, the proposal is
able to comply with the provisions of the Driveways and Parking Code.

Development Code Assessment | Earthworks Code
As detailed in the supporting Civil Engineering Drawings (Attachment G), the proposed earthworks
to facilitate the development will not create adverse impacts on neighbouring properties or
necessitate the establishment of excessive retaining walls. Subject to compliance with relevant and
reasonable conditions of approval, the proposal is able to comply with the provisions of the
Earthworks Code.

Development Code Assessment | Landscaping Code
As detailed in the supporting Concept Landscape Plans (Attachment H), the proposed landscaping
works will provide excellent coverage within the complex and presentation along the frontages of
the site. Subject to further detailed design being provided at the subsequent Operational Works
phase of the project and the imposition of standard development conditions, the proposal is able to
comply with the provisions of the Landscaping Code.

Development Code Assessment | Sustainable Building Design Code
As detailed in the supporting Proposed Plan of Development (Attachment A), the proposed
development accommodates forms of architecture that are characterised as being light-weight,
promoting good solar access and enabling opportunities for passive cooling. It is considered that the
proposal’s design and construction approaches promote compliance with the provisions of the
Sustainable Building Design Code.

Development Code Assessment | Transport Code
As detailed in the supporting Proposed Plan of Development (Attachment A), the proposed
development accommodates one (1) covered car parking space per unit plus one (1) visitor space
per (4) units (i.e. two (2) spaces). Subject to the imposition of standard development conditions, the
proposal is able to comply with the provisions of the development codes contained within the
Transport Code.

Development Code Assessment | Waste Management Code
As detailed in the supporting Proposed Plan of Development (Attachment A), the proposed
development accommodates two (2) refuse collection areas on the Toolar Street frontage of the
site. Through the location of the defined refuse storage areas next to the road frontage, it will
enable easy access and movement of bins to the verge for collection. Overall, the proposal is able to
comply with the provisions of the Waste Management Code.
