Dear Sir/Madam
Information Request
Planning Act 2016
I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No.	MCU22/0058
Street Address:	6 Wyandra St Noosa Heads Qld 4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 40 RP 139776
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue – Corner Element of Unit 1
The proposal plans do not achieve compliance with the Streetscape and Setback provisions of the relevant codes of the Noosa Plan 2020. The reduced Wyandra Street setback and the proposed materials and finishes results in the corner of Unit 1 presenting an appearance of bulk to the streetscape, not consistent with the locality.
Information Required
Provide revised plans to reduce the dominance of the corner element of Unit 1’s building façade.
This may be achieved by offsetting or staggering the dwelling to provide variation to the frontage, incorporating varying roof form to the Wyandra Street frontage, variation to the horizontal screening, and/or increasing the relevant boundary setbacks.
Issue – Natural Ground Level
The proposed plans do not include the maximum building height or natural ground level, only an indicative natural ground line therefore the maximum height and compliance with the basement definition cannot be verified.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that include RL levels showing the maximum building height and identify natural ground level.
Issue – Stormwater Management Plan
There is insufficient information for Council to assess the stormwater management plan.
Information Required
Provide an amended stormwater management plan to demonstrate how stormwater will be collected and controlled. The amended stormwater management plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
a longitudinal section indicating the surface and invert levels, grades and lengths
Issue – Safari Street Driveway Location
The angle of the proposed driveway on Safari Street is undesirable to Council due to potential accessibility and safety impacts to road users and pedestrians. Council would prefer a driveway crossover that is perpendicular to the road formation and property boundary. This change creates uncertainty regarding how the natural surface on the adjoining areas of verge within the road reserve will be treated to avoid the creation of potential trip hazards.
Information Required
Provide an amended dimensioned driveway plan to demonstrate the location and angle of the vehicle driveways, crossovers and extent of transition. Note that Council is unlikely to support private retaining structures within the road reserve. The amended driveway plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
an amended design that is generally in accordance with RS-049 and RS-050;
dimensions of the proposed driveways;
levels and grades of the edges of the proposed driveways;
longitudinal sections for each proposed driveway extending from the centreline of the formation in Safari & Wyandra Street to the proposed garage level; and
the full extent of the transition to the adjoining areas of the verge
Note: should the proposed driveway crossover be the only suitable location, provide sufficient detail to demonstrate that the safety of the existing conditions will not be compromised.
Issue – Cut & Fill
Council are concerned that the significant cut/fill within the property boundary will create an unsafe transition into the road reserve.
Information Required
Provide an amended earthworks plan to clarify if any works will be conducted within the road reserve to ease the verge between the road reserve and earthworks within the site. Note that Council is unlikely to support private retaining structures within the road reserve. The amended plan must be certified by a suitably qualified persons (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
demonstrate the full extent of any works of the transition to the adjoining areas of the verge
due date for response to information request
