2.0 INTRODUCTION

This Development Assessment Report has been prepared to support a Development Application
for Material Change of Use for Multiple Housing (Type 4 Conventional) on behalf of Whatham
Boys Property Trust.

The subject site is situated at 15 Garnet Street, Cooroy, and is described as Lot 901 on C56011.

Under The Noosa Plan the site is included within the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality and
forms part of the Attached Housing zone. The proposal is subject to impact assessment.

The proposed development was discussed with Council at a pre-lodgement meeting on the 20
March 2018. At the meeting Council confirmed that the proposed use was consistent in the
Attached Housing Zone but advised that the density would need to be amended to comply with
the maximum permitted density of 10.77 for the site. The Council also provided feedback on the
proposed setbacks to Wattle Street and Garnet Street, the proposed design and landscaping.
Further information was requested in relation to stormwater management, car parking and
access. Since the pre-lodgement meeting, the design has been amended to reduce the density,
provide eaves and additional landscaping. Further information regarding the proposed access,
parking and stormwater management regime have also been provided in the supporting
documents.

The purpose of this report is to describe the characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses,
detail the proposed development and provide an assessment against the applicable planning
provisions.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, Development
Application forms, Architectural Plans, Landscape Concept Plans, Traffic Engineering Report and
Engineering Report and Plans.
