19. PLANNING OFFICER'S REPORT

FILE: TPC 2486 (GT Simmonds Pty Ltd)

OWNER: GT Simmonds Pty Ltd

SITE: 14 Grant Street, Noosa Heads described as Lot 86 on RP 92518,
Parish of Weyba

AREA: 663 m?

PROPOSAL: Duplex Dwelling
ZONE: Residential Low Density

€ RECEIVED: 30 November, 1992
ADVERTISED: 4 December 1992
OBJECTIONS: Nil

FEES PAID: $400 (additional $50 required)

Application has been made to Council for a duplex dwelling on the above site in Noosa Heads.
At its meeting of 27th January 1993 Planning Portfolio considered a report prepared by the
Planning Department relating to the proposed units. Concerns were raised with reference to the
visual appearance of the building, as the building did not appear to compliment the surrounding
area or was in keeping with the vision and design standards established for the Noosa area. From
the plan submitted it was believed that the proposal was not characteristic of the area and was
not of a satisfactory design.

Following Planning Portfolio and Committee consideration of the application, the applicant had
several discussions with the Shire Planner to ascertain Council's concerns with the proposed
development. As a result of these meetings the applicant requested that Council hold over
consideration of the application as consultations with a local designer to review the design of the
buildings was being undertaken.

The applicant has subsequently approached local firm Hurst and Harris who have modified the
design of the duplex dwelling. It is these plans which have now been further assessed by staff.

A full set of final plans for the development had not been submitted at the time of drafting this
report. In an effort to continue processing and resolve the application, the preliminary plans
have been perused and are considered appropriate. Further detailed assessment will be submitted
at Planning Portfolio.

Town Planning Department's Report 12/2/93 95

The amended plan submitted indicates the building being located roughly in the same position
as the original plans which is at to the rear of the site and facing south west. The proposal
appears to comply with Council's scheme requirements and the modifications proposed are
considered minor in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government (Planning and
Environment) Act. Additionally the design of the building has been substantially improved and
is considered to better reflect the design standards of the area. The amended plans are to
believed to be acceptable from a design perspective and the application is in the order for
approval subject to conditions.
