RG Strategic have lodged a town planning application for the Material Change of Use of 52 Peregian Esplanade, Peregian Beach, for a dual occupancy dwelling.
Currently the sloping large site of 830 sqm holds an existing two-story masonry single dwelling. The existing dwelling will be demolished, and a three-storey duplex will replace it on the site.
The application we submitted constitutes a Material Change of Use (Code Assessment) which will encompass the following elements:
- Removal of the existing detached dwelling and associated structures;
- Development of architecturally designed Dual Occupancy consisting of 1 x 4-bedroom dwelling (unit 1) and 1 x 3-bedroom dwelling (unit 2); and
- Basement carparking.
Uniquely, the configuration of the proposed duplex is not side by side, but one unit per floor. Additional development intent includes:
- 1 x crossover and basement garage for 4 vehicles,
- 1 x common swimming pool,
- Extensive landscaping of the site, including the whole perimeter of the lot.
The proposed plans for the new duplex at Peregian Esplanade will require some relaxations of the Noosa Plan 2020. There is some minor encroachment to setbacks front and rear.
The application is assessable as some design parameters exceed Noosa Plan stipulations, in particular setbacks to the rear and sides.
We have sought a relaxation to the rear boundary setback for the basement, a pergola and a minor variation for a window hood and level 1 eave.
A small arbour is proposed near the front boundary within the front 6m setback.
Importantly, 99% of the development complies with the relevant Acceptable outcomes noting the development is under the permitted gross floor area, site cover and is within the building height in metres prescribed.
The duplex development includes a shared pool and extensive landscaping.
The duplex development allows privacy for each unit but retains the outlook for both over the esplanade.
RG Strategic is working with the following specialists to deliver this project:
- Architects: Tim Ditchfield Architects
- Surveyors: Cadcon Surveying
- Stormwater Management Plan: SCG Consulting Engineers

We engaged with Russell Green and his team at RG Strategic for professional services for our new business ‘Butchers Of Noosa’. Russell’s extensive knowledge, advice and direction made these mandatory processes feel less complicated and more confident that we were going to achieve positive results, (which he did). From our very first meeting with Russell, he understood our business plan, we were well informed and felt supported throughout each stage of Submission town planning and beyond. The team were available to answer our many questions and provided detailed explanations in a timely manner every step of the way. We highly recommend RG Strategic, there impressive commitment, knowledge and professionalism show through their work of great outcomes. Thank you Team, Luke and Kayla Marshall Butchers Of Noosa

RG Strategic helped both myself in my role as GM and the golf club I work for navigate some very tricky council and government processes. Not only did they deliver on several different projects, but did so with professionalism, flexibility and care. Working with RG Strategic saved our club time, and a lot of money. RG Strategic went the extra mile for us, and as a result we would not consider anyone else when we need advice and guidance in their field, I could not recommend them highly enough. Big thanks to Russell and team.

A great big thank you to Russell Green and all the guys at RG Strategic. The result you achieved for us with our complex town planning issue was exceptional. In obtaining the approvals for our restaurant refurbishment and outside area cover we will be in a position to be able to offer our patrons a much more comfortable dining experience. It was reassuring for us to have a town planning consultant with such a complete knowledge of the food/beverage and hospitality industries as well as a thorough understanding of all the technical aspects required to meet Noosa Council's strict approvals process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Russell and the team to anyone who requires planning or compliance services, particularly food premises in the Sunshine Coast or Noosa area. Once again thanks, Russell.
