Response to Further Issues Letter - 65-67 Elanda Street, Sunshine Beach

provision of landscaping is 48% of the total site area, of which 60% is considered soft
landscaping. A suitable provision of landscaping within the site is provided, which balances
the built form outcome and creates a comfortable and visually appealing design.

The proposed fencing complements the architectural design of the building and
contributes positively to the streetscape. It is considered that the proposed fence design
accords with the requirements of PO13 of the High Density Residential zone code. The
fencing utilises a mix of materials which vary in height and transparency contributing to a
visually attractive streetscape while allowing opportunity for casual surveillance.

The proposed diagonal panel fencing has an aperture greater than 50% which accords
with the requirements of the planning scheme. The fencing is proposed in four separate
sections along the frontage, each section not exceeding 3.4m in length. This ensures that
the fencing does not dominate the streetscape and does not eliminate opportunities for
casual surveillance.

Should Council require compliance with the acceptable outcomes instead, the applicant
is agreeable for fencing requirements to be conditioned as part of the approval.

 Issue – Carparking
 The annotation on the plans stipulate there are 4 double garages which correspond
 with the site plan, but the annotation also stipulates there are 4 visitor car spaces. The
 latter is not shown on the plans. The Driveways and Car parking code requires 2
 undercover spaces per unit, plus 1 car space per 4 units.

 Advice Required
    8. Provide amended plans that show at least 1 additional car space on site.


Response
The accompanying amended plans identify a dedicated visitor car parking space. The car
parking space is located beneath the pedestrian entryway.

Swept path diagrams have been prepared by ITE Consulting to demonstrate the suitability
of the visitor car parking space, and the northern resident space of Townhouse 3.

 Issue - stormwater
 The provided stormwater design has part of the runoff being discharged to Elanda
 Street from on-site detention tanks but it is not clear how this will work (the site is lower
 than the road). As Council does not support the use of pumps in this situation
 clarification is required as to how the discharge will be achieved.

 Advice required
