INTRODUCTION
Background/Site History
A pre-lodgement meeting was held on 23 June 2010 with the applicant concerning a
development concept very similar to the current development proposal. The proposed
concept was generally acknowledged to have merit as the precinct supports mixed use
development. The ‘soho’ unit (supporting a small operator to live and work on the ground
floor) was considered a unique design concept for a small operator which provides a better
opportunity for the commercial tenancy to be successful. Along with the standard carparking
and building siting and design requirements, the applicant was advised that particular
attention was needed in relation to the additional density proposed and to address the
relevant performance criteria of the planning scheme.
Site Description
The subject site is located at 11 Bindaree Crescent, Mooloolaba, on the north-western side
of the street with a south-eastern outlook over the canal waterways of Mooloolaba. The lot
has an area of 607m 2 and a road frontage of 15.088 metres to Bindaree Crescent. The site
is located to the east of Brisbane Road and gains access from the south bound lane of
Brisbane Road.
A single detached dwelling (post 1945) currently exists on the site and will be removed to
accommodate the proposed development.
Surrounding Uses
The site is surrounded by a mix of residential and commercial uses of various ages, building
height and character. The most notable complexes are the ‘Anchorage’ and ‘Bindaree
Mooloolaba’, which adjoin the site to the southwest. Both of these are low-rise multi-unit
developments gaining access from Bindaree Crescent. Bindaree Mooloolaba, comprising 6
x 3-bedroom units and 2 x 2-bedroom units, was approved in 2003 (MCU02/0269).
The Anchorage comprising of 9 units, was constructed in the early 1990s and was ‘as of
right’ under the 1985 Town Planning Scheme. The Anchorage is a 3-storey unit complex
(incorporating roof terrace) with an access driveway from Bindaree Crescent along the
common boundary with the subject site, which services basement level parking spaces.
The lot adjoining the site to the north-east accommodates a single, 2-storey dwelling. To the
north of the site is a number of existing commercial developments.
