4.0 PROPOSAL

It is proposed to establish a Multiple Housing – Type 2 (Duplex) on land at 2 Kareela Avenue, Noosa
Heads, in accordance with the Proposal Plans prepared by Teeland Architects included in Attachment
B.

It is noted that the proposed development will reduce the density of the site from the existing
multiple housing, comprising 3 dwelling units, to a duplex consisting of 2 dwelling units.

Both units each contain a double garage including storage area and laundry, entry, living room,
dining room, kitchen, powder room, outdoor dining/living area including built-in BBQ, outdoor shower
and pool on the ground floor and a master bedroom including ensuite, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and
drying deck on the second storey.

The proposed duplex will have a gross floor area of 300.19m2 and a site cover of 260.81m2 (38.7%).
Approximately 265.5m2 of the subject site is landscaped (including 193.7m2 of soft landscaping).
Please refer to the Proposal Plans prepared by Teeland Architects included in Attachment B for the
proposed duplex layout and development details.

The duplex development will contain a total of 4 covered car spaces which are accessible via the
proposed vehicle crossover to Kareela Avenue. 2 covered spaces are provided per dwelling unit within
the proposed double garages.

Waste storage areas for standard wheelie bins are located along the southern property boundary in
screened bin enclosures. Waste Collection Vehicles will undertake the required servicing from the
kerbside as currently occurs to ensure efficient and convenient access is achieved. The wheelie bins
can be easily manoeuvred to Kareela Avenue for weekly servicing.

The proposed development comprises the following design characteristics:

 Site Area:                         673m2
 Dwelling Units:                    2 × 3 bedroom units
 Building Height:                   2 storeys / <8.0m;
 Gross Floor Area:                  300.19m2 (44.6%)
 Site Cover:                        260.81m2 (38.7%)
 Landscaped Area:                   265.5m2 (39%)
 Car Parking:                       4 spaces (2 spaces per dwelling unit)

The subject site achieves connection to all essential infrastructure and services. An existing sewer
main currently traverses the site from the south-west corner to the north-west corner under the
existing building as illustrated on the Contour and Detail Survey Plan prepared by KHA Development
Managers which is included in Attachment C. As part of the proposed development this sewer will be
re-aligned, ensuring the proposed duplex will not be built over the top. Please refer to the attached
Sewer Re-alignment Plan prepared by Greenhaven Projects included in Attachment D which illustrates
the proposed re-alignment. We note that due to difficulties associated with the sewer relocation,
consultation has been undertaken with Andrew Matthews from Sunshine Coast Water. Agreement in
principle, on the sewer alignment and reduced setbacks has been reached.
