ADAMS+SPARKES Town Planning Report (Gympie Terrace) 160401

MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE TO ESTABLISH MULTIPLE HOUSING (2 X TYPE 2 DUPLEXS)
111 & 113 GYMPIE TERRACE, NOOSAVILLE                                                                             22


5.6.3 Setbacks
66. Due to the potential flood impacts associated with the site, the setbacks have been calculated from the
      Finished Floor Level, rather than the Natural Ground Level, which does not present an accurate
      representation of the setback encroachments.

67.    It is noted that the proposed development at 111 Gympie Terrace complies with the front and side
       boundary setbacks, with the development providing a front boundary setback of 7.5 metres, and a side
       boundary setback of 1.5 metres for the ground level and 3.42 metres for the first floor.

68.    The proposed development at 113 Gympie Terrace complies with the front boundary setbacks and
       exceeds the side setbacks for the ground floor, with the development providing a front boundary setback
       of 6.69 metres, and a side boundary setback of 2.06 metres for both the ground and first floors. It is noted
       that 2.06 metres for the ground floor is compliant, however, it is not compliant for the first floor.

69.    In addition, it is noted that both developments do not comply with the required rear boundary setback of 6
       metres specified in the schedule, with 111 Gympie Terrace providing a rear setback of 5.04 metres and
       113 Gympie Terrace providing a rear setback of 4.8 metres.

70.    A review of the site at 111 Gympie Terrace, has identified that the site backs onto land located within the
       Open Space Recreational Zone, which does not support further development potential. Accordingly, the
       reduced rear setback for 111 Gympie Terrace, does not impose upon the privacy of any adjoining
       landholders south of the site.

71.    Further, a review of the site at 113 Gympie Terrace, has identified that the site adjoins land south of the
       site which contains a 6 metre wide easement for sewerage purposes. Further, the eastern boundary
       adjoins a driveway for the full length of the lot, which contains a width of approximately 10 metres.
       Accordingly, the reduced side and rear setback for 113 Gympie Terrace, does not impose upon the
       privacy of adjoining landholders south and east of the site.

72.    Based on the above, the proposal does not compromise Specific Outcome O9, as the development:
         Preserves the visual and acoustic amenity of adjoining and nearby properties;
         Provides adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
         Allow sufficient space for vehicle parking;
         Allows sufficient space for landscaping;
         Maintains continuity between buildings and landscaping; and,
         Provides an appropriately designed development, which reflects the character of the area and does
           not result in large continuous blank walls.

5.6.4 Site Cover
73. Both proposed Duplex developments comply with the maximum site cover of 40%, specified within
      Specific Outcome O11, with the Duplex associated with 113 Gympie Terrace containing a site cover of
      37.2% and the Duplex associated with 111 Gympie Terrace site cover of 38.5%.
