1.5 PRE-LODGEMENT MEETING

A Prelodgement Meeting was held with Council and SARA for this site. The meeting notes are
summarised in the following sections.

1.5.1 COUNCIL PRE-LODGEMENT MEETING

A pre-lodgement meeting was held with Noosa Council on 1 February 2022 (Council Ref:
PLM21/0074). The proposal details included a dwelling house, sheds, windmill, solar, pool,
underground water tanks, a dog kennel for up to 4 dogs, stables for 2 horses. The proposal has been
refined to include a dwelling house, secondary dwelling, pool and water tanks.

Specialist documentation has been prepared to support the development application in response to
the items raised in the pre-lodgement meeting, and include:

    ●    Proposal Plans;
    ●    On-Site Effluent Disposal Report;
    ●    Geotechnical Investigation;
    ●    Bushfire Hazard Assessment; and
    ●    Ecological Assessment Report (including a Landscape Rehabilitation Plan).

Planning

The notes stated that when the lot was created a metes and bound survey was provided as part of the
plan seal application, as required by conditions (Condition 10) of the reconfiguration approval (Council
Ref: 152006.862.02 (06/0862)). This survey is attached, and indicates the house site and effluent
disposal area. Condition 12 of the approval also required an environmental covenant to be registered
within 50m of the northeastern property boundary to the Noosa River in favour of Council, which is
also shown on this survey.

In relation to the previous clearing, the Ecological Assessment Report confirms this area no longer
supports ecological values, with no further vegetation clearing required to accommodate the proposed
development.

The plans submitted for the pre-lodgement meeting detailed multiple buildings. This has been refined
to include a Dwelling House and associated Craft room, Gym room and Shed. Justification for a new
sensitive land use within 200m of land on an adjacent property included in the Rural zone and mapped
as Agricultural Land Conservation Area has been provided in section 5.3.1 of this report.

The proposal has a height of less than 8 metres and a total gross floor area of 659.45m2. The
exceedance of gross floor area has been justified in section 5.3.1 of this report. The proposed
development greatly exceeds the minimum setback requirements.

A rainwater tank is provided to service the development and an On-Site Effluent Disposal Report has
been prepared by Global Testing, which confirms a land application area of 360m2 is required for the
proposed on-site effluent disposal.

The scenic amenity of the Noosa River has been considered in the design. The proposal is set back
314m from the Noosa River (rear) boundary.
