                 5.      ADVICE & INFORMATION

                 Lisa Pienaar, Comments
                 1.      Applicable codes for this development:
                              Noosaville Locality Code
                              Medium Density Residential Zone Code
                              Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
                              Works Codes
                 2.      The proposal is to comply with a maximum plot ratio of 0.4:1 and site cover of 40%. The
                         plans do not indicate the height of pool and decks at the rear, and if over 1 metre from
                         ground level, these structures will need to be included in the site cover calculation.
                 3.      AO14.1 of the Med Density Residential zone code seeks that individual dwellings have
                         an asymmetrical design that presents to the street, with offsets and staggering of
                         dwellings to provide variation to the frontage and includes varying roof form. AO7.1-
                         AO7.5 of the Noosaville Locality Code are also particularly relevant to this proposal.
                 4.      AO14.3 of the Med Density Residential zone code seeks that wall lengths to not exceed
                         15 metres and incorporate at least one design element to add visual interest.
                 5.      AO15.1 of the Med Density Residential zone code seeks that no more than 50% of the
                         frontage consists of garage doors – frontage is 20m, garage doors approximately 12m
                         wide. Should this not be met, there needs to be articulation such as windows or mix of
                         materials or at least integrated into the dwelling without the garage door look. AO15.3
                         requires garages to have landscaping at least 2 metres wide to reduce the hardstand
                         appearance to the street.
                 6.      PO17 of the Med Density Residential zone code seek that front fences are setback 1
                         metre and step in at 5 m intervals and include landscaping in front. We would be seeking
                         a minimum of a 2 metre wide landscaping strip along the frontage, either side of the
                         access.
                 7.      PO18 and AO18 of the Med Density Residential zone code requires buildings to have
                         lightweight materials, variety of external finishes and avoid bulky single line plane
                         finishes.
                 8.      PO19 and AO19 of the Med Density Residential zone code seeks that roof forms avoid
                         box profiles and have a 5 degree roof pitch with at least 75% eaves to the perimeter of
                         the roof.
                 9.      The development is to comply with setbacks sought by AO12.1 of the Medium Density
                         Residential zone code. Setbacks are measured to the outer most projection.
                 10.     Fill – The proposal should address the following:
                              Indicate the extent of fill in the application (beyond the dwellings footprint). Fill can
                               create overlooking opportunities into neighbouring property and results in high
                               fences that may affect the amenity of surrounding property. Wherever possible, fill
                               is to taper down to boundaries to preserve the amenity of the area.
                              It is noted that the pools and decks at the rear are within the rear setback and may
                               be higher than surrounding development (once the site is filled) and this may result
                               in overlooking into adjoining property. Identify opportunities where overlooking may
                               occur and design this private open space accordingly.



                  This document is a record of prelodgement discussions and will not be made available for public viewing. Prelodgement
                  discussions are conducted to explore development options and requirements, identify issues and provide guidance to prospective
                  applicants about Council’s policies for development. The recorded discussion items and outcomes in no way imply or commit to
                  an approval of the proposal on the part of Council or Council officers, nor guarantee that all potential issues associated with a
                  development proposal have been raised / identified. When a formal development application is lodged, the proposal will be
                  assessed on its planning merits in accordance with Council’s policy framework existing at the time of the assessment.
