Delegated Report - Code - Planning OPW25 0042 · OPW25/0042

               Summary
               The proposed works generally comply with the relevant provisions of The Noosa Plan 2020.
               Engineering recommends the following conditions.
               5.     CONSULTATION
               5.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               5.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •      Planning Coordinator – Development Assessment
               •      Senior Environment Officer – Development Assessment
               •      Traffic & Transport, IPDD, Assets – Infrastructure Services
               5.3. Other Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following external experts for review and comment:
               •      Leon Rowlands – Stormwater
                      Condition 46 [of the higher order approval] has been satisfied and the remainder of the
                      application is complaint with the Water Quality and Drainage Code, apart from the following
                      issues which should be conditioned:
                      o       ESC standard conditions should be applied.
                      o       Ensure as part of final landscape design that RIP 3B and RIP 5 are provided with
                              surface levels or an overland flowpath (which may be informal) that will allow any
                              surcharge flows from these devices to flow to a lawful point of discharge without
                              impacting any of the development buildings or facilities.
                      o       Landscape OPW to be consistent with the design assumptions of the overland flow
                              assessment.
                      o       It is also noted that additional times were included in the FIR around the landscape
                              finish and the roughness values for the overland flowpath assumed in the design. The
                              design assumptions are:
                                      ▪ Grass or rock invert for the channel; and
                                      ▪ Landscaped batters
                              A sensitivity test was provided with higher roughness (0.06) applied to the base of the
                              channel, corresponding to landscaped plantings of shrubs and groundcovers. This
                              showed that the freeboard to floor levels would not be exceeded. However, the
                              freeboard would be reduced in some locations to less than the required value.
                              Therefore, it is recommended that when the landscape OPW is submitted, the base of
                              the channel should remain either grassed or rock-lined and not be planted.
               6.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
