5            The Proposal
As indicated in Section 1 of this report, this application proposes the realignment of the boundaries of the site
to create 4 lots of a more similar size. The applicant then intends to construct a Multiple Housing Type 2 –
Duplex developments on each of the four sites with the provision of reciprocal access easements across the
Gympie Terrace frontage. Landscape plans have also been lodged for approval as part of the development.

The material change of use of premises and reconfiguration of a lot is code assessable development under
the 2006 Noosa Planning Scheme. Middap Architecture have prepared proposal plans for the development,
which are included in Annexure A. The units are to be developed in four stages with each duplex to be
constructed as a separate stage.

It is noted that the site has previously been approved for this form of development under 2004/4206.

             5.1           Reconfiguration of a Lot (Boundary Alteration) and Access Easement

             The applicant proposes to alter the boundaries of the lots to provide a more regular configuration over
             the site. In this regard the applicant proposes the following lot sizes:
                                                                               2
                                                      Site A -        857m
                                                                           2
                                                      Site B -        713m
                                                                           2
                                                      Site C -        713m
                                                                           2
                                                      Site D -        713m

             Vehicular access is proposed across the frontage of the site and reciprocal access easements are
             proposed over the frontage of the four sites as detailed in Annexure A.


             5.2           Material Change of Use

             The proposal involves the demolition and removal of the existing dwelling and Regency Waterfront
             Units and the construction of a two storey Duplex on each of the proposed lots. The units have been
             carefully designed to maximise solar orientation for internal living and recreational areas as well as
             providing a landscaped presentation to Mill Street and Gympie Terrace.

             Each duplex is two storeys in height with carparking for four vehicles in the form of two double
             garages provided to the Gympie Terrace frontage. Access to these garages is via an access
             easement which extends across the site and has entry and exit points at Mill Street and Gympie
             Terrace.

             One unit per floor is provided with each unit having a defined separate entry. Each ground floor unit
             has a central entrance area that leads past a powder room, laundry and two bedrooms to an open
             plan kitchen, dining and living area. The master bedroom and ensuite is located off this central living
             area. A large deck with direct access to a swimming pool is orientated to the north facing rear of the
             site.

             The upper floor units each have a separate defined entry area which is accessed to the side of the
             units. The entry is via a short flight of stairs which lead into the unit with a hallway extending past the
             laundry and powder room and bedrooms to an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Again the
             master bedroom and ensuite are located off this main living area. A large deck is located off the
             bedroom and living areas and has a north facing orientation.

             Each duplex building has a main sloping roof form with roof overhangs and covered decks. Smaller
             roofed areas with a different pitch provide further interest to the roof line and form.

             The units have been designed to maximise private open space, solar access, privacy for the
             individual units and adopts a contemporary design utilising a range of high quality materials and
             finishes which are extracted from the surrounding built form and include:
                           •     Rendered and painted masonry block walls;
                           •     Select timber panelling;
