3 Gibson Road NSC Application Letter

Stormwater

The proposed new access crossover and driveway have been designed to match existing verge profile.
The proposed works to the carpark are limited to signage and linemarking and therefore do not interfere
with or alter the existing pavement or drainage regime within the carpark. As such, the proposed works will
have no impact on existing drainage.

Impacts on Existing Infrastructure

The proposed carpark adjustments will require the following works to existing Council and private
infrastructure, as shown on Drg 8548-004 (Attachment 3):

        Approximately 12.5m of existing kerb in Gibson Road to be taken up and replaced with the proposed
         crossover.
        Approximately 19m of existing concrete path to be taken up and aligned back from the existing kerb,
         to facilitate the required grade transitions for the new crossover.
        Existing private garden bed and carpark kerb in Lot 0 to be take up where the new driveway is
         proposed.
        Trim branches of existing trees in Lot 0 as required to provide clear space for vehicles to exit.

We note the presence of several underground services in the Gibson Road verge at the Lot 0 frontage and
just inside the lot, including gravity sewerage, water, communications and NBN cabling. Whilst the proposed
driveway does cross these services, the works will match the existing surface profile and levels, such that
these services will not be impacted. The existing sewerage manhole located just inside the Lot 0 property is
also clear of proposed works.

Previous Council Discussion

Black & More prepared and lodged documentation to support pre-lodgement liaisons with Noosa Council in
December 2025. The submission included details of the operational issues and proposed carpark
adjustments as outlined above. Following review of the submission, Noosa Council advised that the works
could be submitted to Council as:

        Minor change to approval, for the proposed carpark operational adjustments (signage and
         linemarking); and
        Operational works application for the proposed second crossover and driveway.

A pre-lodgement meeting was not required by Council and was therefore not arranged.

Copies of the pre-lodgement discussions are included as Attachment 4.

Unitywater Discussion

As noted above, the proposed works will cross existing gravity sewerage. This includes crossing a sewer
easement. An “Application for Easement Encroachment” for construction of new driveway has been
approved by Unitywater. Confirmation of this is included as Attachment 5.

RECOMMENDATIONS
We believe the proposed adjustments to the Lot 0 BUP105742 carpark will alleviate current operational
issues, without the need to undertake costly and extensive upgrades to the existing shared access and
driveway. We also believe the above proposed adjustments provide the least impact on existing businesses.
We request that Council reviews the above engineering advice and attached supporting documentation, for
development approval.
