2.       Background
Michael and Caroline Cullen, landowners of 128 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, are seeking a development
approval from Noosa Shire Council for a Material Change of Use of Premises to establish a Dual Occupancy.
The proposed development will deliver two (2) luxury independent living units within an architecturally
designed, two storey building inclusive of basement and shared foyer.

The site is shown on Figure 1 Site Location Plan. In total, the development site has an area of 556m2.

The proposed form of development considers the following:

        Two (2) dwellings, Unit 1 being ground floor and Unit 2 being level one, with shared basement and
         foyer entry;
        Areas of private open space in the form of rear outdoor areas with raised decks, pools and
         landscaping, with extensive views over Chaplain Park and the Noosa River;
        High quality landscape embellishments provided to each of the site frontages recognising both as
         active interfaces to the public realm, in addition to soft landscaping to side boundaries;
        Vehicle egress gained from Mill Street via Easement B SP305586 over the adjacent property (Lot 0
         SP305586), with basement accommodating five (5) resident vehicles in addition to two unallocated
         visitor spaces at ground level; and
        Pedestrian access via both the Gympie Terrace (southern) and Chaplain Park (northern) frontages.

The site is located within the Medium Density zone and captured in the Noosaville Local Plan Area. Pursuant
to the Tables of Development Assessment for the Medium Density Zone the proposal is subject to Code
Assessment.

The development application seeks approval for the following aspects of development:

        Development Permit for Material Change of Use to establish a Dual Occupancy;

The proposed development will achieve a high quality, architecturally designed built form outcome over the
site and contribute to the relaxed, coastal vernacular that is evident along the Noosa River esplanade, with
extensive use of light weight articulation elements, natural finishes and landscaping. Full details of the
proposed development, site context and the relevant planning framework are set out in the Summary Table
above.

This report provides greater detail on the nature of the proposal and undertakes a comprehensive assessment
against the relevant assessment criteria contained within the Noosa Plan 2020.

The proposed development is recommended for approval subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
