Old brick home to make way for two modern units

• 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.
