3.0 Proposed development details
The existing dwelling is proposed to be demolished and construct a new contemporary 2 storey, 4
bedroom dwelling above a basement. The dwelling is designed over 2 storeys consisting of:
 Basement – garaging for 4 vehicles including a services, store and laundry;
 Ground floor – family room, kitchen and living spaces;
 First floor – 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms

The dwelling has been designed to maintain privacy for the residents and neighbouring properties.
External materials consist of a contemporary masonry finish, glazing and gardens.


4.0 Planning assessment
The proposed redevelopment of a dwelling house cannot be made a Material Change of Use
(Planning Regulation 2017, Sch 6 Part 2). The proposal generally complies with all relevant
acceptable outcomes except for setbacks – triggering the following applications against the planning
regulations (Sch 9):

    -     Table 3 - Design and siting (for assessment against the Queensland Development
          Code (QDC) and/or Noosa Plan 2020.
    -     Table 8 - Building work for particular class 1 building relating to material change of use (new
          dwelling house)

The dwelling is not a material change of use as the change of use has already happened with the
existing dwelling and therefore a Concurrence Agency Referral is submitted for certain aspects of
development. An Operational works application is submitted as the development is excavating more
than 100m² of material below 5m AHD.

Some of the key parameters are provided in Table 3 below, with further assessment provided
thereafter.
