MCU12/0023 Development Application Part 2 of 2 Town Planning Report

                                                                                                    URBAN



Stage 2:
      n     Two visitor accommodation buildings comprising a total of 32 x 3 bedroom apartments and pool/BBQ
            area.


Stage 3:
    n 30 individual beach shacks, comprising a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom.


The current proposal affects only the commercial building within Stage 1 of the development. Details of the
proposal are as follows (refer also to Appendix A for Architectural Drawings):


      1.    Addition of 13 x juliette balconies to the upper level visitor accommodation, with each balcony measuring
            3.2m wide x 1.2m deep (total area 3.84m2);
      2.    Addition of an outdoor dining area of maximum 70m2 adjacent to the ground/podium level restaurant,
            comprising a 30m2 area fronting David Low Way and a 40m2 fronting the northern boundary and
            adjoining Peregian Beach Hotel.


It is noted that the original development approval granted in February 2010 included a single balcony off the
communal lounge fronting David Low Way, as well as balcony areas to the rear of the building. The current
proposal essentially retains these balconies, with the smaller juliette style balconies added as a new element.


A Noise Amenity Review has been undertaken by MWA Environmental to address any potential noise impacts
arising from the proposed extensions (refer Appendix B). This report concludes that the proposed extensions are
not likely to result in adverse noise impacts on nearby residential dwellings to the north or south of the site,
primarily due to the existing ambient background noise levels.


Carparking to service the outdoor dining area is provided within Stage 1 of the overall development and is located
at the site entry and within the basement of the commercial building. A total of 7 additional carparks were
provided at a rate of 1 space per 10m2 of additional gross floor area (70m), which is consistent with Council's
requirements. This carparking has been endorsed by Council and approved by the Court as part of the previous
permissible change request (Appeal No. 4783 of 2011).


It is noted that the proposed juliette balconies do not constitute gross floor area and therefore do not require
additional carparking.
