The maximum height of the development must not exceed 8 metres above the finished ground level and the natural ground surface except for the small southern portion of the roof identified on the approved plans which must not exceed 8.4m above the finished ground level and natural ground level.
Certification must be submitted to Council from a Licensed Surveyor which certifies that the building does not exceed the maximum height requirement of this Decision Notice.

The roof terrace must not be roofed or enclosed.
Performance Bond
Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $5,000 must be submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, prior to arranging the pre-start meeting.

Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum to effect compliance with conditions.
Landscaping
A minimum of 20% of the site must be retained as soft landscaping.
Existing trees, including the existing garden (identified on the approved Detail Survey Plan) along the southern, eastern and western boundaries on the site and within road reserves must be retained, except for the 3 trees identified on the approved vegetation overlay plan DD02 and the cottonwood cluster within the road reserve located to the north of the existing driveway which may be removed.
The cottonwood cluster to the north side of the existing and proposed driveway must be replaced with landscaping, turf and 2 street trees of an appropriate species.  The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval.
Trees and gardens to be retained must be protected from clearing or construction activities by:
clearly marking vegetation to be retained with flagging tape
installing protective fencing around the drip line of the vegetation
restricting stockpiling, storage and vehicle parking to those areas which are already cleared
using low impact construction techniques around vegetation.
Site Access and Driveways
A sealed access driveway must be provided from Seaview Terrace to all parking areas of the development. The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval and must include in particular:
a driveway crossover in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawings RS-049 and RS-050 together with any addendums

sufficient detail to demonstrate the extent of earthworks within the road reserve
Please note that Council is unlikely to support retaining walls in the road reserve
Stormwater Drainage
The site must be provided with a stormwater drainage system connecting to a lawful point of discharge. Stormwater runoff from the development must be collected on site and discharged into the existing kerb and channel in Seaview Terrace
Easements
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the relevant service provider, any public or third party infrastructure located on the subject site must be placed within an easement registered against the title of the property.
All easements must be designed in accordance with the planning scheme and granted at no cost to the Grantee.  Where the Grantee is Council or a service authority, the easement documentation must be in accordance with the Grantee’s standard easement terms.  Draft easement documentation must be submitted to Council for endorsement.
All works must be kept clear of any existing or proposed easements on the subject land, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the Grantee.
Geotechnical Stability
A Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified expert* must assess the soil condition on site, determine the soil classification, establish whether any measures are required to protect the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or land, and make recommendations on the type of foundation system(s) and construction methods best suited for the proposed development. The recommendations of this report shall be incorporated into the design and construction of the proposed development
*(Refer to Advisory Note)
Upon completion of the development certification must be submitted to Council from a qualified person* which certifies that the development has been constructed in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Geotechnical Report for the development and that the development has a minimum factor of safety against landslip of 1.5 in the long term.
*(Refer to advisory Note)
Earthworks and Retaining Walls
All earthworks, batters, retaining walls, foundations and anchors (both above ground level and below ground level) must be contained entirely within the subject site unless written permission from the respective landowner(s) is provided to Council.
All earthworks must be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of Australian Standard AS3798: Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Developments.
All retaining walls must be designed and constructed in accordance with the planning scheme and must be certified by an RPEQ where exceeding 1.0m in height. All retaining walls that are publicly accessible and exceed 1.0m in height must be fitted with a commercial grade safety fence.
Damage to Services and Assets
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.
Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.

Advisory notes
The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part of the assessment manager conditions:
Equitable Access and Facilities
The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities.  Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
Development Compliance Inspection
Prior to the commencement of the use, please contact Council's DA Planning Section to arrange a Development Compliance Inspection.
Sustainability
In line with Noosa Council’s Corporate Plan, Council seeks to encourage sustainable building design for residential and commercial development. Council encourages the use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water, photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), water saving devices and rainwater harvesting. For further information go to http://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/sustainable-homes
Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy

Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the different aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in application fees will result if all works are lodged in a single application.
