5.1.5 Engineering Codes

The existing infrastructure that serve the existing hostel and the existing units will continue to be
utilized.

The Noosa Plan 2006 details the following car parking requirements for Visitor Hostels:

 Noosa Plan                                                              Proposal Response
 For Visitor hostel
 • 1 space per 12 guests capable of being accommodated – 2 spaces        • 2 spaces provided
 • 1 space per staff member;                                             • 0 spaces - Proposal does not affect existing staff numbers.
 • parking for a courtesy shuttle bus (no bigger than 30 seats).         • Courtesy shuttle bus parking on existing hostel site.



The proposal therefore complies with carparking requirements.

5.2 Noise
As part of the pre lodgement meeting, Council staff indicated that a noise report should be submitted
as part of the application. The applicant subsequently engaged David Moore & Associates to
undertake an assessment of the proposal which is included as Appendix E. The report concludes
that acoustic barriers around the carparking spaces to the front of the site would ensure compliance
with noise limit criteria.


5.3 Waste Management
As part of the pre lodgement meeting, Council staff indicated that a Waste Management Plan should
be submitted as part of the application. Please refer to Appendix F.


5.4 Overlays
The site is mapped as being included in the Natural Hazard: Bushfire & Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay
with a Potential Impact Buffer designation. The proposal involves the reuse of an existing approved
building that will be required to comply with the relevant Building Act requirements in relation to
bushfire.
