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:	OPW16/0239

Street Address:	3 Luttons Ct COOROY  QLD  4563
Real Property Description:	Lot 129 SP 275884
information required
The information requested is set out below:

Issue
There are concerns regarding the stability of the existing fences on the dividing boundaries with Lot 128 and Lot 133 due to the recent excavation within the subject site.

Information Required
Provide details about the proposed works (eg retaining walls) within the property along the above mentioned boundaries to ensure the short-term and/or long-term stability of these fences and other works and structures on the adjoining sites that could be adversely impacted on by the earthworks works.

Issue
Engineering certification/s is/are required for the design and the constructed the retaining walls and earthworks.

Information Required

Provide engineering certification/s by a Registered Professional Engineer Queensland (RPEQ) for the design and the construction of the retaining walls and the completed earthworks. The certification/s should certify that all works, including earthworks compaction, have been undertaken in accordance with the applicable engineering standards and guidelines and they are not adversely impacting on the stability or the stormwater drainage conditions of other properties.

Additional Notes:
It must be noted:
Fences must comply with maximum 2.0m height restriction measured from the original finish ground level prior to the recent earthworks on this allotment. Application for fence height relaxation may be applied for but this unlikely to be supported by Council.
The conditions of any approval for this OPW application, if granted, will likely include a requirement for dense vegetation screening of suitable native species along the site boundaries to protect privacy of and overlooking onto adjoining Lots 130, 131 and 132.
