                  (Provided by Applicant)




                  4. ADVICE & INFORMATION
                  Planning                        Officer Name Denis Wallace
                  The site has a current preliminary approval for Multiple Housing – Type 4 Conventional for 6 x
                  2 bedroom units on the site, which is valid until 31 October 2019. The preliminary approval
                  allows the inconsistent use on the site and calls for an Impact Assessable development
                  application for the use to obtain a development permit. The application is subject to the
                  assessment against the conditions of the preliminary approval, the provisions of The Noosa
                  Plan and any other applicable statutory instruments.

                  A copy of the Preliminary Approval and associated approved plans is provided as a separate
                  attachment. It is important to note that the References to Lot 1 & Lot 2 in the preliminary
                  approval need to be reversed. As such, the subject site was referred to as approved “Lot 1”
                  previously.

                  The application would need to address:
                  - Building design, floorplans, elevations, and external layouts.
                  - Vehicle Manoeuvring.
                  - Boundary setbacks
                  - Landscaping
                  - Parking (minimum of 2 covered spaces per dwelling + 1 visitor space = total of 5 spaces)

                  The primary applicable assessment codes under The Noosa Plan are:

                  Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code
                  Residential Uses Code
                  Engineering Works Codes
                  Landscaping Code

                  The application will be subject to impact assessment and it is recommended it be handled by
                  a suitably qualified town planner or surveyor.

                  Access options were discussed. Staff consider a single driveway access through the site and
                  connecting both frontages as probably most suitable and efficient.

                  MCU approval plans may be able to undergo minor subsequent amendments, based on
                  available removal houses. This aspect presents a design and coordination challenge to the
                  project but is not insurmountable.

                  An indicative Infrastructure Charge estimate for the proposal is 3 X $29k (for 3 additional
                  dwellings), as discussed, which includes separate Unitywater charges. Section 5 of this
                  document provides details on obtaining written confirmation of charges or ph. “Lud” on
                  53296449.

                  Further advice can be given on any aspect of this advice as required.

                 This document is a record of prelodgement discussions and will not be made available for public viewing. Prelodgement
                 discussions are conducted to explore development options and requirements, identify issues and provide guidance to prospective
                 applicants about Council’s policies for development. The recorded discussion items and outcomes in no way imply or commit to an
                 approval of the proposal on the part of Council or Council officers, nor guarantee that all potential issues associated with a
                 development proposal have been raised / identified. When a formal development application is lodged, the proposal will be
                 assessed on its planning merits in accordance with Council’s policy framework existing at the time of the assessment.

                  The developer will be required to provide improvements to the Opal Street and Opal Lane
                  frontages of the site. In regard to Opal Street the applicant will need to demonstrate that there
                  is no loss in the number of on-street carspaces by indicating where additional on-street
                  carspaces can be provided.

                  It is expected that stormwater from the development will be discharged to Council’s existing
                  stormwater drainage system in Opal Street. There may be a need for an on-site detention
                  system to address the additional runoff created by the development of the site.

                  Access to the proposed on-site carspaces/garaging must be in accordance with
                  AS/NZS2890.1:2004 with sufficient area to allow vehicles to enter the site, access the
                  carparking and exit the site in a forward gear in a total of 3 movements.

                  It is recommended that the applicant engage a suitably qualified engineer to prepare
                  preliminary and final design plans to address the issues of access, carparking, frontage works
                  and stormwater.

                  Subsequent to the Material Change of Use approval an Operational Works application will be
                  required. This application will address the final engineering designs for the development. The
                  current fee for a single Operational Works application for a site of 1536m² is $4,390.

                  If at the end of the construction if the developer wishes to create separate titles for the units
                  (Building Format) a Plan Sealing application to Council is required. The current fee for this
                  application is $1,148.


                  5. INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES
                  A request for written advice for an Infrastructure Contributions Estimate relevant to your
                  proposal may be obtained for a fee of $211.

                  6. FURTHER ADVICE TO BE SOUGHT
                       You are advised to contact Unitywater and any relevant Queensland Government
                       Agencies for their specific requirements in respect of your proposal.
