Attached to the e-mail MCU 19 0030 Submission - Ann Callender.msg.
PLANNING SUBMISSION Application Reference No: MCU19/0030 Applicant: Gympie Terrace Noosaville Pty Ltd Address: 217 & 219 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, QLD 4566 Lot 1 RP66483 and Lot 1 RP70165 Proposal: Development permit for material change of use Submitter: Ann E Callander 21 Kingston Street, East Malvern Vic, 3145 Email: anncallander(a~me.com PARTICULARS OF SUBMISSION The Submitter The interest of the submitter, Ann E Callander is as owner of Unit 3, Regatta 225 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, QLD which is a ground level residential apartment immediately adjacent to the dividing boundary fence with the site at 217 & 219 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Deficiency in Plans The revised plans (16/05/19) do not include sufficient detail of the relationship between the proposal and the existing Regatta apartments to enable a complete and proper assessment of the relationship and of all impacts on the Regatta apartments. Levels Heights and Set backs As far as can be gleaned from the sections drawings 8.0; (a) The floor level of the Level 1 Apartment (including terrace) is one metre above natural ground level; (b) The floor level of the Level 2 Apartment (including terrace) is 4.7m above natural ground level; (c) The floor level of the Level 3 Apartment (including terrace) is 8.4m above natural ground level; 4 The easterly wall of the proposal is set off three metres from the east boundary (with Regatta) as are the Level 2 and Level 3 terraces. The easterly wall height is at least 11.2m above natural ground level, of which the lower solid wall is 4.7m above natural ground level for a length of 14.5m. 80521_3180105v1

Lack of Screens for protection against overlooking
6 The Level 1 terrace has no effective screens to prevent overlooking into the adjacent
ground level private open space of Unit 3 Regatta.
7 The Level 2 terrace and windows of Level 2 bedroom No: 1 have no effective
screening to prevent direct overlooking into the living room and bedroom windows of
Unit 3 Regatta.
Visual bulk and intrusion
The length (14.5m) and height (particularly the solid wall lower 4.7m, with total wall
height 14.5m above natural ground level) is excessively intrusive from the windows in
the living room, bedroom and open space areas of Unit 3 Regatta.
Overshadowing
The shadow diagrams (plans C14.0 and C15.0) indicate that the living room and
main bedroom west windows of Unit 3 Regatta will be overshadowed by 2pm at the
winter solstice (with loss of winter sunlight) and partly so at 2pm summer solstice
(fully so by 3pm summer solstice). This suggests that the roof level should be set
back further.
Access driveway -vehicle noise intrusion
10 The proposed basement car park access drive way is within 3 metres of the common
boundary with Unit 3 Regatta's private open space, but no provision has been made
for sufficient acoustic fencing to prevent undesirable vehicle noise impacting on the
private open space and living room of Unit 3 Regatta.
Planter Box maintenance
11 The design shows planter boxes. In respect of the planter boxes on the easterly
boundary facing Regatta, it is unclear how those planter boxes can be accessed for
maintenance purposes.
Amendments
12 It is submitted that the proposal design requires further amendment to address:
(a) Adequate screening to prevent direct overlooking into the living room and
bedroom windows of Unit 3 Regatta (and possibly other units) and also Unit 3
Regatta open space.
(b) Treatment to the easterly solid wall (particularly the section 4.7m above
natural ground level) to give better articulation and to avoid its present
uninspiring dominance.
(c) Revision of the roof and eaves particularly on the easterly boundary to
address the issue of overshadowing and loss of sunlight at the winter solstice
and even the summer solstice to the living areas, bedroom and open space of
Unit 3 Regatta.
