Our Ref: 20251048 Council Ref: MCU26/0012 and OPW26/0034 2 April 2026 Noosa Council PO Box 141 Tewantin QLD 4565 Via email: [email protected] Attention: Andrew Gaffney Dear Andrew, FURTHER ADVICE RESPONSE - DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE (DWELLING HOUSE) AT 111 LUKES ROAD, COOROY MOUNTAIN (LOT 2 RP214048) Further to Council’s Further Advice Request issued 27 March 2026, we now respond in full to each of the items raised. In support of this response, please find enclosed revised Proposal Plans prepared by Skale Building Design. Please find below the response to each of the items raised by Council: Item 1 The proposed location conflicts with Acceptable Outcome PO2 / AO2, AO11.2 & PO15 of the Rural Zone Code, which seeks to retain ALCA areas and natural vegetation wherever possible to assist with screening the extent of buildings on the site and to retain the landscape character and visual amenity quality of hill slopes and ridgelines. Item 2 Justify the separation distance of the gym from the dwelling house, including why the building cannot be reduced in scale and located closer to the dwelling. The plans show the removal of the existing dwelling and pool which would be preferable location for the new gym closer to the dwelling house on already levelled area with the minimal removal of existing vegetation which would assist with screening this building. Response: The Proposal Plans have been revised to locate the proposed gym closer to the existing residence (which is proposed to be demolished), and re-orient the gym to achieve a northern aspect. The gym is currently located ~50m from the main residence; where the revised plans site the development ~20m from the main residence.

It is noted that Table 5.5.13 table of assessment for the Rural zone does not require the proposal to be
assessed against PO2/AO2 of the Rural zone code.
With relation to AO11.2 of the Rural zone code, the proposal is undertaken outside of mapped native
vegetation areas. The revised location of the gym will be located so that it maintains the existing
vegetation on site.
With relation to PO15 of the Rural zone code, the proposal has been purposefully designed to sit within
the natural landscape rather than dominate it. The proposal avoids significant benching, and responds to
the natural topography of the site through a linear but separated building form which follows the existing
land contours. The built form maintains a low rise, single storey outcome, ensuring the development
remains below the ridgeline. Furthermore, the layout utilises areas of the site already modified by the
"Existing residence" and "Existing sheds" which are proposed to be demolished, thereby minimising the
need for further earthworks. The proposed location of the built form seeks to retain existing vegetation to
soften the visual impact of the new structures. The 3D renders and elevations confirm the use of a
palette designed to complement the natural setting. The proposed building materials, colours and finishes
incorporate earthy materials and non-reflective finishes that integrate with the surrounding environment.
Item 3
Demonstrate how the proposed development complies with the definition of a Dwelling
house, including that:
- no other buildings on the site (other than the dwelling house) is capable of independent
residential occupation; and
- the development does not result in a multiple dwelling or dual occupancy.
Response: The Proposal Plans have been revised to include an annotation relating to the existing studio.
It is intended that the existing studio will be for private use to the main residence only. The existing
approval and building associated with the established studio on the high part of the site will be used
exclusively for private domestic purposes. The applicant is happy for Council to include conditions relating
to the studio approval as a note on the new approval.
We thank Council on behalf of the applicant for assessing the attached additional application material.
Based on the information provided in this application we respectfully request that Council proceed to
issue an approval.
Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned.
Yours faithfully,
Adapt Development Management Pty Ltd
