2 'Service Area' interpreted as a storey

The Noosa Plan Administrative Terms Page 2-18:
basement means a space where the ceiling height projects no more than one metre above both the
natural ground surface and the finished ground level, and where access to the basement is limited to
one opening a maximum of 6m wide.

The 'Service Area' has been considered a storey, thereby making the house non compliant with two
additional storeys above this outdoor space. We propose to include this Service Area to be part of the
Basement proper thereby providing access to it from the exterior via the main Garage door only.

The proposed changes shown in red on the drawings are as follows;

     •       Replace access gate with fixed full height ventilation screened wall,
     •       Provide a Ceiling line which is 1 metre from the adjacent Natural Ground,
     •       Provide enclosing ventilation Screens into the openings around the sides above natural ground,
             Provide screening planting to further conceal this part of the Basement when viewed from the
             street.

We believe the above changes will enable the Service Area to be part of the Basement and would not
be considered a Storey, and therefore provide compliance with the allowable two storey above a
basement solution for this site.


Please let us know if you require any further information. We look forward to receiving an approval at
your earliest convenience.




Yours sincerely
