site details
Background
The application was required to address condition 11 of the associated RAP17/0512.
assessment
Initial assessment of the subject application indicated that a further information request was required. This request was sent on 28 September 2020 and the items related to driveway grades (scraping) and retaining structures.
The applicant requested to “stop the current period” a number of times during the information request period but did not provide any response and the application moved into the Decision Period. The applicant has not responded to a number of emails during the decision period.
It is noted that the driveway had been constructed during late 2020 (aerial photos). A recent site inspection found that:
the driveway was constructed generally in accordance with the originally submitted plan,
the road formation and the driveway did not indicate scraping was occurring,
the extent of retaining structures was limited to an area close to the property boundary,
a footpath of separate concrete pads extended from the driveway to the property gate.
It is considered that as the constructed driveway does not create scraping and the retaining wall does not create an unacceptable fall risk it is recommended that the driveway be approved.
Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
State Planning Policy;
South East Queensland Regional Plan;
Planning Regulation 2017; and
Noosa Plan 2020.
Noosa Plan 2020
The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:

any stormwater kerb outlet in close proximity to the edge of the new driveway must be provided with an approved kerb adaptor
any existing kerb sections requiring removal due to the works must be saw-cut and removed to allow for a smooth and neat finish with the new driveway
Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant standards.  Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will remain the responsibility of the property owner/developer.
Stormwater Drainage
The constructed driveway must not cause additional ponding on the road formation or the road reserve.
Environment (Erosion and Sediment Control)
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
The contractor must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of works and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions. Exposed areas must be suitably covered/stabilised/reinstated as soon as practicable and prior to any predicted rainfall occurring.

Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
General Advisory Notes
As this driveway is a private structure, the owner bears full responsibly for the standard of its construction, maintenance and any liabilities associated with its construction.
Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken, as they have been certified by a RPEQ.  The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects of the engineering design.  Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act 2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this application along with the appropriate fees.
Environmental Advisory Notes
The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks, construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Unit to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
