Information Response

Item 7

Provide amended plans that address the loss of mature vegetation in the road reserve.

Response: The existing paperbark trees in the road reserve are in poor condition and will be replaced.
This has been conveyed to the adjoining owner to the south via a letter of support, which is attached. We
request that this is appropriately conditioned.

Item 8

Demonstrate how vehicles accessing/egressing the subject property can do so in a forward
gear.

Response: Noosa Plan’s Driveways and Parking Code requires that “vehicles enter and leave the site in a
forward gear, excluding dual occupancy or detached dwellings on local roads.” As the proposal is for a
dwelling house, this is not considered applicable. Plover Street, whilst considered a major road, is still a
local road. Proposing a turnaround area for vehicles to enter and exit the site in a forward manner would
result in excessive hardstand area that would provide a low quality streetscape outcome.

Item 9

Detail if any vegetation on road reserve is proposed to be removed, and if so, provide
amended landscaping plans including vegetation on road reserve on a 2:1 ratio (i.e. 2 new
street trees for any tree removed).

Response: See Item 7 above.

Item 10

Provide a site specific geotechnical report and site stability assessment for the site and
development. The report must include, but not be limited to:
     a. recommendations for the construction and operational phases of the development
        to ensure the stability of the subject site and the adjoining properties for the longer
        term;
     b. details of the proposed structural solution to protect the structural integrity of the
        existing sewer infrastructure running along the site’s eastern boundary;

Response: The proposed extension is largely within the existing building footprint. We request that this
item is conditioned to be addressed by a building certifier.

Item 11

Provide Unity Water’s approval for the proposed works over and adjacent to the existing
sewer line.

Response: In light of the plan amendments, no works are proposed over the Unitywater sewer line.

Item 12

Provide a preliminary stormwater management plan for the proposed development. The
management plan must include but not be limited to:
     a. the structures for both the construction and operational phases of the
        development;
     b. be consistent with the site specific geotechnical report recommendations; and


                                                                                                          3
