Dear Sir/Madam

Information Request
Sustainable Planning Act 2009

I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No:	MCU16/0090
Proposal:	Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises for Wellbeing Type 2 - Social
Street Address:	468 McKinnon Dr COOROIBAH  QLD  4565
Real Property Description:	Lot 2 RP 214534
Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (16 September 2013)
information required
The information requested is set out below:

Issue - Plans
A landscape master plan has been submitted. The master plan does not provide sufficient information about the GFA of the uses proposed on site.

Information Required
Please provide plans and/or a schedule/table of Planning Scheme uses proposed (as close as practicable) and the allocated GFA for such uses.

Issue – Site vehicle access
Providing safe and efficient vehicle access to the site is an integral part of the development. The proposed access to and exit from the site are directly to McKinnon Drive and the extent of any external works will be at the discretion of Main Roads.

A preliminary assessment of the proposed road improvements at the entrance to the site suggest the works proposed are the absolute minimum necessary and that it would be advisable, due to the type of traffic and passengers, to construct a more suitable access.

There is also some concern regarding the proposed gravel access driveways. Council’s standard drawing for a rural access driveway, RS-056, indicates the area between the road formation and the property boundary is constructed with a 2 coat bitumen seal.

It is also noted the submitted planning report make comments regarding additional events (camp outs, social club, other special events) but the traffic comments make no reference to these events or how the additional traffic and parking demand will be addressed

Information Required
Provide plans that clearly define the areas of the access driveways and on-site carparking areas that are to be constructed with a sealed surface and the remaining gravel surfaces.
Provide detail on the types of surfacing proposed.
Provide additional detail on how the proposed development will address the additional traffic and parking demands created by the proposed additional events.
Provide written approval from the Department of Transport and Main Roads for the proposed access points (2) and any proposed road improvements.

Issue – Effluent Disposal
The Tectonic Geotechnical report does not take into account some of the future uses at completion, such as the respite house being for short and long term stays, the café/ kitchen, conference room, overnight camp outs and the Saturday night social club activities 6 times per year. Additional effluent flows from these activities have not been considered. There are also some differences between the estimated persons using the site in the planning report and figures used in the geotechnical report.

It is noted that Plumbing Services has advised that an approval has been given for an upgrade of the treatment system and 17 fixtures only (PL16/0243) and the proposed café/kitchen was not part of that application.

Information Required
The submitted geotechnical report should be amended to include all proposed uses and make reference, where necessary, to any additional facilities that may be required for infrequent special events.
