Page 2

The proposal includes relocating the existing sewer manhole and mains but the applicant has not provided
approval for the asset owner.
Information Required
     4.   Provide written confirmation from the asset owner (Unitywater) for the proposed relocation of the
          sewer manhole and mains.
Information Provided
         Attached Unity Water Service Advice Notice.




Issue - Stormwater
The proposal includes significant changes to the existing stormwater drainage system for the site constructed
as part of the prior reconfiguration of a lot (REC14/0007 and OPW14/0253) and encroaches into the existing
easement. The submitted material does not include sufficient information to demonstrate that the
development of the site will not adversely impact upon the adjoining properties.


Information Required
     5.   Provide a preliminary stormwater management plan for the proposed development. The plan must
          be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ or similar) and include but not be limited to:
a.        collection and discharge/infiltration of stormwater runoff from the proposed development (roof and
          hardstand areas). Please note that the system must be a gravity system and pumps are not acceptable;
b.        sufficient detail to demonstrate that the existing infiltration system has the capacity to cater for the
          runoff from the proposed development;
c.        demonstrate that the existing stormwater easement is no longer required in either part or whole.
Information Provided
Attached BAX Engineering report 018-001 dated 26.6.2018


Issue - Overlay
The site is mapped as being in a Landslide Hazard Area and the proposed development includes significant
earthworks in close proximity to the boundaries. The submitted material does not in a geotechnical
investigation and/or report.


Information Required
6. Provide a site specific geotechnical investigation and/or report that is prepared by a suitably qualified
     person (RPEQ). The report must include recommendations for the works to ensure the stability of the
     subject development and the adjoining properties in the long term.


Information Provided
Attached SCG Engineering report 28050(S).




Issue – Building Height and cut and fill

Page 3

The submitted plans lack RL and cut and in particular fill detail. Note that it appears from the submitted plans
that there is significant cut (3m) to accommodate the dwelling with no intention to backfill.
Information required
 7.    Provide and updated northern, western, southern and eastern elevations with RL’s and a natural and
       finished ground line including corresponding 8.0m line above (derived from the survey).
 8.    Provide plans that show the extent of the cut and fill.


Information Provided
Attached revised Chris Clout designs & concept 3D plans dated 22.6.2018, showing proposed
elevations & extent of cut & fill.


Issue – 3 storeys
The proposed dwelling is 3 storeys. 2 storeys is the maximum as specified as a Specific Outcome. Refer to
the basement definition and the storey definition in the Noosa Plan.


Information required
 9.    Provide amended plans that comply with Specific Outcome O4 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code
       and Specific Outcome 10 of the Detached House Code 2 storeys (and 8 metres).


Information Provided
Attached revised Chris Clout designs & concept 3D plans dated 22.6.2018.




Issue - Eves
It appears that the proposed dwelling does not meet the provision in the Planning Scheme for a dwelling to
have a minimum of 600mm eves to at least 75% of the building.
Information Required
10. Provide amended plans that show the extent of the eves and seek to address this provision.


Information Provided
Attached revised Chris Clout designs & concept 3D plans dated 22.6.2018.


Issue - Built form
The southern elevation shows a continuous wall of over 18 metres. Probable Solution 32.2
a) of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code specifies a maximum wall length of 15 metres where it must
incorporate at least 1 design element to add visual interest and to break up the wall, such as change of
materials/textures, balconies and windows.
Information Required
11. Provide amended plans that address the Specific Outcome O32 and Probable Solution S32.2 for the
      Semi- Attached Housing zone.
Information Provided
Attached revised Chris Clout designs & concept 3D plans dated 22.6.2018.




Issue – frontage to Stevens St

Page 4

There should be provision for the front fence to be setback 1 metre from the front boundary to provide for
landscaping. There is a long solid fence that would benefit from better articulation.


Information Required
12. Provide an amended plan that has considered the perimeters outlined in Specific Outcome O35 and
     Probable Solutions S35.1, S35.2 & S35.3 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code.


Information Provided
Attached revised Chris Clout designs & concept 3D plans dated 22.6.2018.




I hope this proposal will meet the performance requirements of the Planning Scheme, which
will result in a favourable decision.

Yours Faithfully
