Attached to the e-mail Operational Works Application OPW20/0017- Cover letter - SUPERSEDED DA Form 1 - Plan - 46 Plover St, Peregian Beach.
3 February 2020 RJ/KB/4395 Chief Executive Officer Noosa Council PO Box 141 TEWANTIN QLD 4565 Attention: Officer In Charge RE: David Dunworth Residence 46 Plover Street, Peregian Beach QLD 4573 Operational Works Application_Landscape Works within Plover Street Verge Dear Sir / Madam, Please find attached documentation supporting the application for Operation Works for the landscape elements located within the Plover Street Verge. At the time of the construction of the dwelling (located at that time within the Sunshine Coast Council) we, and our Client, David Dunworth were of the impression that approval for the works had been obtained as a part of the Building Approval process. As this was not the case, approval is now sought for the following: 1. Site Pedestrian Entry The existing verge conditions to the Eastern edge of Plover Street are informal with no formed kerb and channel or no defined pedestrian pathway. A dedicated pedestrian foot path is located to the Western edge of Plover street which includes a formal road edge with kerb and channel. There is extensive existing vegetation within the verge to the South of the subject site. The vegetation, combined with the steep topography of the verge result in somewhat unsuitable conditions for pedestrian access. The gradient is of such a grade that neighbouring properties include retaining and access paths within the verge. Refer Figure A. Our Client is seeking approval for the installation of the proposed landscape within the verge which is not dissimilar to a number of example in the immediate vicinity. With reference to Figure B, the pedestrian access to the site is proposed to be re-aligned to be perpendicular to the site. The proposed landscaped pedestrian entry as indicated, seeks to provide a defined pedestrian entry to the property that is not associated with the vehicular entry. The proposed path is largely at the level of the natural topography (refer contours as per initial site survey). The inclusion of vegetation / planting within the street verge is proposed to define the entry and create a continuation of the extensive verge planting to the South of the subject site. It was considered that the extensive verge planting to the Eastern portion of Plover Street provides an enhanced streetscape given the Western verge contains little vegetation.

2. Vehicular Entry Due to the informal road edge that does not include a kerb or channel and the level difference between road edge and boundary, a driveway crossover that follows the Typical Profile Driveways Access as per IPWEA drawing SEQ R-050 revision C is not possible. Therefore, we proposed a non- standard driveway crossover which met the site conditions and providing a high point ranging from 140mm to 340mm above the edge of asphalt. As mentioned previously, we and the Client were under the impression that this work as constructed was approved at the time of receiving the Building Permit. This driveway crossover follows the same methodology as the majority of the Plover Street properties accessed. This driveway crossover has been suitable for the user needs for seven years and there has been no issues caused by road water. The driveway access as constructed adopted the same methodology as all of the driveways located to the Eastern frontage of Plover Street. In these cases, the access driveways slope away from the road edge so as to follow the natural topography of the land. The subject site is atypical in nature as the verge itself is not standard and quite informal. Please contact the undersigned should you require further clarification of the above or attached. Yours faithfully Rohan Jackson Director BLACKBURNE JACKSON Cc: David Dunworth 46 Plover Street, Peregian Beach, QLD 4573
