Post approval of the development application, the owners of the subject site approached the
owners of 61-63 Wade Street, Tewantin in relation to undertaking the works and establishing the
easement. URBN Town Planning has been advised there has been a breakdown in
communication between the parties and that a reasonable agreement in relation to works
required/renumeration has not been able to be obtained.


Discussions have been held with Noosa Council engineer, Daniel Epps, in relation to the inability
to discharge stormwater to the infrastructure located within 61-63 Wade Street, Tewantin. The
intention of the correspondence was to identify support for the development to discharge
stormwater via a charged arrangement to the kerb within Gympie Street (north). Daniel Epps
provided the following feedback on 2/03/2026 (via email).
   ‘…As previously communicated, Council, in-principle, is supportive of a charged roofwater
   line discharging to the existing kerb and channel in Gympie Street – subject to further design
   and assessment through an Operational Works application…’
