response to information request

The amended plans include dimensioned carparking bays of 8 x user class 3A bays; 4 x
user class 1 bays (staff) and 1 x user class 2 bay in accordance with AS/NZS2890.1:2004.
6.1m is provided between the western wall and staff bays 1 and 2, which allows for
manoeuvring to occur and exiting in a forward gear. The rubbish vehicle will be onsite
infrequently (potentially twice a week) and staff bays have been provided in this regard.
Staff bays 5 and 6 are reserved for the owners of the business and can either reverse out
of the site or leave in a forward gear using the service vehicle bay (when not occupied) in
a four point turn. This is considered acceptable for the reuse of the existing building and
parking area and improves the existing parking situation.


7.      Provide plans that indicate the existing and proposed stormwater drainage
        systems.
8.      Provide a plan that demonstrates the development meets the landscaping
        requirements under Noosa Plan.

There are no new hard stand areas proposed as part of the development. There are two
stormwater collection pits within the paved forecourt area that are to be reused. Additional
landscaping is also proposed in front of the Wimmers Lane car parking to screen the
existing retaining wall and provide visual relief along this frontage.

As a result of this additional landscaping, there is less hardstand areas than what is
existing, which results in a non-worsening to the stormwater leaving the site. Additional
landscaping is also proposed between the existing store and building.

Although the proposal does not meet the minimum 10% landscaping requirements
(129m2), the existing development provided no landscaping, and the proposal proposes
25m2 of landscaping in available areas which is appropriate in this instance for the resue
of the existing building.


Pursuant to the Development Assessment Rules, the applicant has given the assessment
