A couple of things stand out to me: You have a direct line of sight from the family room to the ensuite shower. I'd try and create a dog leg in the master entry somehow so the sight is blocked. On such a large block, setbacks don't tend to be an issue, so to utilise the space better in laundry and pantry, I'd push the wall out flush with master or kitchen. The storage you would gain would set you well for future. If you swapped enrty to lounge to off the family space, (double doors would look amazing) you would gain an extra storage area, or perhaps an extra toilet/powder outside Bed 4.

Nice. I would make one suggestion - consider the placement of your powder-room when you will have guests who may be wet from pool or trekking to toilet from alfresco…

Floorplan Critique
Great plan for a narrow block.
I too think the main bathroom needs a re-jig. I would definitely swap bed 2 and bathroom. You could consider placing the toilet where Bed…

Raked ceiling for sure.
You can always add a fireplace in the future, but ceiling heights are much harder to change.

Far out some posters are rude.
We did similar to you, in fact, having it as a computer diagram is better than where we started - pencil on paper!

At a minimum - swap the Home Theatre with the laundry and bed 4 with a double door into the theatre off the living.

Can recommend Lisa Michelon at New Choice Homes.
She is based at the Marina Display in Jindalee. Very knowledgable but not pushy.
New Choice are a flexible builder and happy to customise.
