PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    08 AUGUST 2017


The applicant seeks approval to create these two titles prior to the actual construction of the duplex
dwelling and proposes that conditions be included as part of the Community Management
Statement to ensure that the newly created vacant lot be developed in accordance with the
conditions of Development Approval. Written advice from the applicants’ solicitor details that they
consider the conditions would be legal and enforceable.
The proposed Duplex is a code assessable use and has been referred to the Planning &
Environment Committee meeting due to the conditions proposed for the widening of Olivine Lane
and staging of the subdivision.
2.    SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
A pre-lodgement meeting was held with Council officers on 31 January 2017. A number of matters
were raised including:
Access
The issue of most significance is accessing Cooroy Noosa Road. It is noted that the supplied DTMR
letter includes the need for the applicant to obtain Council’s approval for the access. In this regard
any application will need to demonstrate that the access can achieve compliance with the Noosa
Plan - Driveways and Carparking Code and Transport, Roads and Drainage Code. It is expected
that any application will need to include suitable engineering designs and it is highly likely that on-
site manoeuvring will be required.
Frontage Works
The development will need to include improvements to the site’s frontage to Olivine Lane. The
works will most likely include kerb and channel and any associated formation widening.
The site’s frontage to Cooroy Noosa Road is fully formed and at this time it is not expected that
any works will be required.
Stormwater
The development will need to provide connection from the lots to the existing Council drainage
system.
Services
The development will need to provide services to each lot normally associated with urban
development (water, sewer, power and telecommunications). The developer is responsible for any
costs associated with the provision of the services.
Reconfiguration
It is expected that all of the required works mentioned above will be completed prior to Council
endorsing any survey plan for the subdivision of the land.
2.2. Site Description
The site is a rectangular shaped parcel of land located on the north western side of Tewantin Road,
Cooroy. The site has frontage to both Tewantin Road and Olivine Lane and slopes down from the
Tewantin Road frontage to Olivine Lane with a fall of approximately 4 metres and slope of 15%.
An existing single storey brick dwelling is located on the site 4.5 to 5.0 metres from the Tewantin
road frontage. Existing vegetation is limited to amenity landscaping around the periphery of the
site.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is located in an established residential area that is characterised by low set residential
dwellings, however, is experiencing change with a number of sites being developed for units.
Specifically, the site directly to the west of the site at 21 Tewantin Road has been developed for
three, two storey units, whilst the northern section of Olivine Lane has a number of duplex dwellings
developed.
