INFORMATION REQUEST RESPONSE
In reference to the Information Request issued by Noosa Shire Council, dated 9 April
2026, we provide the following responses to the Civil Engineering items. The following
supporting documentation is attached to this response:
• Appendix A – Civil Engineering Drawings
• Appendix B – Site-Based Stormwater Management Plan (SBSMP) (Ver2)
• Appendix C – Waste Management Plan (WMP) (Ver2)
DOCUMENTATION
• Item 5 – Infrastructure Staging
Refer to revised drawings and documentation included in Appendices A, B & C.
A temporary AV loading bay is provided in Stage 1 at the location shown in the
drawings, and will act as a temporary AV bay until the completion of Stage 4.
The permanent AV loading bay will be delivered in Stage 4. See updated
drawings in Appendix A.
The proposed bioretention and detention basin is designed to suitably attenuate
and treat the entire developed (i.e. ultimate) catchment and is proposed to be
constructed with Stage 1 of the development.

Due to grading constraints of the site, the piped drainage system has been
designed to convey the 1% AEP. All undeveloped upstream catchment, with the
exception of the small catchment naturally draining to Taylor Court, can be
conveyed by piped drainage to the ultimate basin. Temporary diversion drains
and field inlet pits are provided to maximise catchment diversion to the basin
with each successive stage, as shown on revised drawings (refer Sheets C101
and C102).
A construction phase erosion and sediment control plan will be required to be
prepared by the contractor and certified by a suitably qualified person prior to
commencement of works. The contractor is required to maintain appropriate
erosion and sediment control measures throughout construction and all interim
stages of the works.
• Item 6 – Bioretention / Detention Basin
The bioretention basin is a private asset and will not be transferred to Council.
Maintenance is the responsibility of the body corporate.
The requirement for dedicated maintenance access under PSP6 is directed at
Council contributed assets. Its application to a private asset is not considered
warranted in this instance.
The proposed 1:3 batter from the adjacent driveway to the basin floor provides
suitable access for maintenance purposes. This approach is consistent with
comparable privately maintained bioretention systems constructed throughout
the estate. This item is considered addressed.
• Item 7 – PWD Park
This item has been addressed. The proposed landscape infill has been
relocated accordingly. Refer to the revised Civil Engineering Drawings included
in Appendix A.
• Item 8 – Waste
The Waste Management Plan (WMP) and associated turning path plans have
been amended. Refer to the updated Waste Management Plan included as
Appendix C. The development proposes the use of 2m³ bins serviced by a front
lift waste collection vehicle (HRV), in accordance with Noosa Council
requirements.
Swept path analysis has been updated to reflect the appropriate front lift vehicle,
including the required directional travel path through the site for each stage of
development. Manoeuvring of the vehicle has been demonstrated for each
stage of the development and is detailed in Section 4.3 of the WMP, allowing
for the WCV to enter and exit in a forward direction with each successive stage.
All bin storage areas shall be constructed to meet the minimum requirements
provided in Noosa Council PSP, Schedule 6.10.5 – Waste management design

criteria. A bunded area is to be provided for bin washdown to ensure that all
washdown water is contained and directed to a sewer connection in accordance
with Council requirements. A water supply, including a tap with hose connection,
will be provided within the bin storage area to facilitate cleaning. The design of
the internal hydraulics has not yet been completed but will be undertaken to
meet the requirements of Noosa Council PSP. All bins shall be washed within
the designated bunded area.
Should you have any queries with respect to the above, please contact the
undersigned.
Yours Sincerely,
