Dear Sir/Madam

Information Request
Sustainable Planning Act 2009

I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No:	OPW17/0024
Proposal:	Development Permit for Operational Works – Prescribed Tidal Works (upgrade of commercial marine facility)
Street Address:	9 Cardell Rd TEWANTIN  QLD  4565
Real Property Description:	Lot 20 CP 907535 (now Lot 20 SP284459)
information required
The information requested is set out below:

Issue
Containment of vessels within the lease area.
The development of a pontoon closer to the boundary of the lease area raises concern regarding the moorings of vessels outside of the lease area. Review of aerial photography and recent observations of the site identify that moorings, particularly large houseboats, are not being contained within the lease area.

Information Required
Provide evidence that the operator of the jetty is able to ensure all moorings are contained within the lease area. This may include, but not be limited to, the use of moorings that are only suitable for small craft and the use of signage that clearly identifies the type of craft that can be moored. Alternatively the location of the western platoon should be moved closer to the shoreline.

Issue
New buildings.
The planning report submitted with the application identifies that the existing office is to be re-located and that a new storage building is to be constructed. Plans submitted with the application detail that the office is in fact a new structure with an internal floor area similar to the existing office however the provision of substantial eave areas provides for a built form that is more expansive than the existing office. Details of the height of the existing office and the proposed office and storage building have also not been provided.

Having reviewed the elevation plans of both the office and storage building it is noted that details of external materials and colours has not been provided. In the absence of this information and based solely on the elevation plans provided it is considered that the proposed designs are not sympathetic of the character of the Noosa River and Tewantin locality.
Furthermore the table within the submitted report and on Drawing A003 Site Plan – Demo 17/01/2017 does not include the proposed storage building.

Information Required
Provide:
Details of the height of the existing office and justification for the increase in built form attributed to the new office building.
Amended elevation plans that identify the height of the new office and storage building and external colours and materials which compliment the coastal environment.
The tables within the submitted report and on Drawing A003 Site Plan – Demo 17/01/2017 that detail calculations of existing and proposed areas must be updated to include the proposed storage building and the area of both buildings under eave.

Issue
Engineering Certification.
The submitted plans have not been prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) or endorsed by an RPEQ.

Information Required
Provide engineering plans prepared by an RPEQ or plans that have been endorsed by a RPEQ. Please note that any endorsement or certification must make reference to Council’s Watercourses Works Code and The IDAS Code of the Coastal Protection and Management Regulation 2003.

Issue
Advertising Signage
It is noted that the existing office has advertising signage but no details of advertising signage are included with the application.

Information Required
Provide details of all advertising signage proposed to be displayed within the lease area
