RAL20/0020 Reconfiguration of a Lot: Response to Information Request – Report                       14


4.1.3 House site access
The third issue raised by Noosa Council’s Information Request relates to provision of vehicle
access necessary for the proposed house site on new Lot 429:
        Access to the proposed house site on Lot 429 appears lengthy and needs to traverse
        across sloping land and potentially parts of the site mapped as being in a Landslide
        Hazard area. No detail has been provided in regard to the access to the house site.

        3. Provide a preliminary design of the access to the proposed house site on Lot 429.
           The design must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (Registered
           Professional Engineer of Queensland) and extend from the driveway in the road
           reserve to the approximate house site. The design must include but not be limited
           to: 3.1. Longitudinal section; 3.2. Typical cross section; 3.3. Any required cuts or
           fills; 3.4. Typical formation; 3.5. Any specific measures to address the potential for
           landslide.

A preliminary design for a new driveway to the proposed house site has been completed.
Refer to the attached drawings. As shown in the below Figure, the alignment generally avoids
all areas mapped by Council’s Landslide Hazard overlay by following the natural ridgeline.
Subsequent geotechnical assessment has also concluded the relevant area to be of Low Risk
of slope instability.
