I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No.	MCU18/0078 OPW18/0117
Street Address:	165 Gympie Tce Noosaville Qld 4566
Real Property Description:	Lot 2 RP 87781
Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (27 November 2017)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue - Landscaping
It is not clear where and how high the retaining wall is within the front 6m setback.
The proposed Archontophoenix Alexandrae has shown are not in accordance with Section 13 of PSP 3 Landscaping plants and guidelines and are not supported.
Information Required
Please provide plans which clearly identify where and how high the retaining walls are within the front setback.
Please remove the Alex Palms and if required replace with another local native tree species in accordance with PSP 3.
Issue – Fire systems
Council’s recent experience with developments of the type proposed (1 unit above the other) is that ancillary fire systems (booster pumps etc) are required. The need for these ancillary fire systems may have a significant impact on the development (loss of landscaping) and it’s appearance from the road.
Information Required
Provide comment from a suitably qualified person in regard to the potential need for any ancillary fire systems (booster pumps etc). If the systems are required provided amended plans that clearly indicate the location and extent of any systems.
Issue – Driveway gate
Council has concerns with the location of the proposed gate on the driveway and the potential for vehicles waiting to access the site blocking the footpath.

Information Required
Delete the gate or alternatively provide amended plans that indicate sufficient distance (6m minimum) between the gate and the footpath to provide the “holding” area.
Issue – Vehicle manoeuvring
The submitted plans do not indicate the vehicle manoeuvring paths to all spaces. Council has concerns that some spaces may be difficult to enter and exit. Please note that Council requires sufficient room for vehicles to enter and exit the site in a forward gear.

Information Required
Provide amended plans that clearly indicate the vehicle paths for entry and exit from all the spaces. The plans must:
be for a B99 vehicle as described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004; and
consider that the adjoining space is occupied.
Provide additional detail and comment on the indicated “car stackers”
Issue – Stormwater discharge
Council has concerns with the potential impacts of the stormwater discharge on vehicles in Gympie Terrace and pedestrians utilising the crossing point.

Information Required
Indicate on the plans the expected discharge rate at each outlet point. Please note that Council’s maximum discharge rate at any one location is 25l/sec.
Provide comment on the potential for the discharge to impact on vehicles in Gympie Terrace and pedestrians utilising the crossing point.
Issue – Overland flow
The stormwater design includes a drainage line to convey surface runoff from an adjoining property through the development site to Gympie Terrace. This drainage line will need to be located within a private drainage easement.

Information Required
Indicate on the plans the necessary easement or alternatively:
provide certification from the design RPEQ that the development will not create additional ponding of stormwater on any adjoining property; and
delete the drainage line from the plans.
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 29 August 2018. Please advise Council of your response to this information request in accordance with section 13 of the Development Assessment Rules.
If you do not provide a response before the due date, it will be taken as if you have decided not to respond to the information request and Council will continue with the assessment of your application.
