6.       Proposal Overview
This development application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use to establish a Dual Occupancy
over land located at 128 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, formally described as Lot 1 on MCH3881.
The proposed form of development can be described as a two storey residential building accommodating a
single independent living unit per level with shared basement and foyer. The site has two frontages, one being
to Gympie Terrace (south) and secondary (north) to Chaplain Park and the Noosa River Esplanade. Each unit
retains extensive private open space directed to the northern aspect overlooking the Noosa River foreshore,
with large balconies directly accessible from main living areas.
The architect has sought to ensure both of these frontages are presented with a distinctive address
that recognises and reinforces the site’s unique position as the gateway entrance to the Noosaville
foreshore, and Noosa River esplanade.
The development will provide high quality permanent residential accommodation within an established
residential area with convenient access to the services and facilities available in Noosaville in addition to the
immediate recreational opportunities afforded along the Noosa River Esplanade.
All car parking and vehicle manoeuvring areas are provided onsite at ground and basement, screened from
view behind fencing and landscaped gardens. The dual occupancy development has separate gated
pedestrian access to each of the frontages with landscaping reflecting the suburban leafy character of the
street and adjoining park.
Pursuant to the definitions contained within Schedule 1 of the Noosa Planning Scheme 2020, the proposed
material change of use component of the development is defined as follows:

     Dual Occupancy: Means a residential use of premises for 2 households involving –
                         (i) 2 dwellings (whether attached or detached) on a single lot or 2 dwellings
                             (whether attached or detached) son separate lots that share a common
                             property; and
                         (b) Does not include a residential use of premises that involves a secondary
                             dwelling.
