Town Planning Report - GSLC MCU Maintenance Sheds and Fence · MCU25/0099

“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”

              buildings have a scale and building height consistent with the built form within the GSLC and the
              surrounding area (AO7.2). The proposed buildings, in particular Sheds B & C, will preserve the amenity
              of the adjoining residential properties with the lowest roof height being beside the boundary with 2m
              of landscaping also provided and 3m of landscaping between these buildings (AO7.3). The proposed
              sheds have an appropriate scale having regard to the nature of the use (AO7.4). Further, the sheds will
              have an 11 degree roof pitch and be constructed of lightweight building materials (AO7.5).

          •   PO16 – The proposed development is entirely consistent with the intent for the Community Facilities
              Zone.

          The proposed development is consistent with the relevant performance outcomes, overall outcomes and
          the purpose of the Noosaville Local Plan Code.

          7.3 Community Facilities Zone Code

          With respect to the Community Facilities Zone Code, the following performance outcomes are considered
          most relevant:

          •   PO1, PO2 & PO3 – The proposed development is associated with the existing use of the site as an
              Educational Establishment and entirely consistent with the zone.

          •   PO4 – The site has been occupied by the GSLC for over 40 years and is in a highly assessable location
              with good access to the major road network in Noosaville.

          •   PO5 – The proposed development is for a use type, scale and intensity consistent with community
              needs, locational characteristics and supporting infrastructure.

          •   PO17 – The proposed development comprises three (3) sheds that are single storey and less than 8m
              in height (AO17.1) and with minimal earthworks required (AO17.2). The proposed sheds are low rise
              and will not have a visual bulk that is out of character given the nature of the use, which contains a
              number of larger built forms. The proposed development will not be visible from the street and situated
              within a planned landscaping setting that will protect the amenity of neighbouring properties and will
              also respect the scale of the surrounding vegetation.

          •   PO18 – The proposed sheds will not exceed a GFA of 1,000m² (AO18.1), the maximum wall length in
              one plane is 14m (AO18.2) and as demonstrated under the Master Plan (MCU23/0096), the overall site
              cover will not exceed 50% (AO18.3). The proposed sheds are fit for purpose and respect the scale of
              development on the site and surrounding area.

          •   PO19 – The proposed sheds are not located near a road frontage with Sheds B and C being located 2m
              from the adjoining residential boundaries to the southeast (AO19.1). A landscaped setback of 2m is
              being maintained in lieu of a 3m setback and is required because of the shape of the allotment, other
              existing infrastructure and constraints, including the existing irrigation dam to the north and the tennis
              courts to the west with access to be maintained. Because of the constrained nature of the site, the
              maintenance sheds are effectively in a compound, which is off limits to students. This combined with
              the reduced building height closest to the boundary will maintain an acceptable level of amenity for
              the adjoining residents. In fact, the proposed design should improve the amenity with the roller doors
              facing away from these properties. The existing vegetation to the north of the Shed B is intended to be
              retained at this time.
