Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
State Planning Policy;
South East Queensland Regional Plan;
Planning Regulation 2017
The Noosa Plan.
The following codes from the Noosa Plan are applicable to this development:
Detached House Driveway Code
Engineering Works Codes
Assessment and Comment
It is intended, as a requirement of the original subdivision of the parent lot, that this property and other properties along Leslie Drive with frontage to Moonare Crescent should obtain their vehicular access only via Moonare Crescent.
However, an approval for a second (secondary) to Leslie Drive was granted to the adjoining property at 7 Moonare Crescent. This approval was given, by Sunshine Coast Regional Council in 2011, after a submission (response to Info Request) by the applicant/owner confirming that the driveway to Leslie Drive to be a secondary and infrequently used driveway.
In response to the information request for the current application, the applicant/owner of 5 Moonare Crescent has confirmed that the driveway will be secondary and the main entrance to property will remain at Moonare Crescent.
Assessment manger Comment:
The proposed secondary driveway via Leslie Drive is not considered to raise traffic safety or hazard issues. Although Leslie Drive is a rank as Collector Road, it has central median, hence, the vehicles movements from the proposed driveway will be only left-in and left-out.  Additionally, the current side/parking lane at this section of Leslie Drive is relatively wide with a general width of 5.8m between the Kerb line and traffic lane (south-bound lane).
Given the above it is not considered to be justified to refuse the current application for a second/secondary driveway for the property. The application is recommended for approval with conditions as detailed below.
cONSULTATION
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers:
<
conclusion & reasons for decision
The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

Traffic Management during all aspects of the construct phase including:
A Traffic Management Control Plan in accordance with Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) detailing all temporary signage and traffic control measures prior to construction.
Maintenance of safe pedestrian and vehicle traffic access across the frontage of the site both during daily construction and after daily construction has ceased.
Proposed fencing to the work site during the construction phase of the development.
Adequate parking arrangements for construction workers machinery during construction without impacting on traffic and availability of public parking.

Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
Where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately; or
Where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.

Works within Road Reserves
No removal of street trees within the road reserve is permitted without Council’s prior written approval.
Safe pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all requirements complied with.
All works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features. Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
Driveway
Driveway crossover from Leslie Drive must be constructed generally in accordance with the approved plan and Council’s Standard Drawings RS-049 and RS-050, and must comply with the following:
Have a general width at 4.0m maximum, ie across the existing pathway.
Maximum width of 5.0m at kerb line.
Maximum width of 5.0m at the boundary line.
The driveway should be provided with a turning area within the property to allow for a safe vehicles entry and exit from the site.

Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant standards.  Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will remain the responsibility of the property owner/developer.
Environment (Erosion and Sediment Control)
Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
The contractor must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the extent of works and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather conditions. Exposed areas must be suitably covered/stabilised/reinstated as soon as practicable and prior to any predicted rainfall occurring.
Erosion and sediment control measures must be installed prior to commencement of works to minimise erosion on the site and to minimise the export of sediment and associated pollutants from the site. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with current best practice standards (refer to advisory notes) and kept until all disturbed surfaces have been stabilised.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
A final inspection and approval of the new driveway and completed reinstatement works by Council’s Inspector is required.  Please contact Council on 5329 6245 to arrange for the inspection.
