Appendix E - Pre-lodgement Meeting Minutes

 4. ADVICE & INFORMATION
 PLANNING                                   Officer Name – Denis Wallace

      The following aspects of the proposed site layout were discussed in detail:
          Access
          Landscaping
          Setbacks
          Building Height

      Access is required to accord with the associated mediation agreement plan for the site.
      The road layout around the site requires careful consideration (note the various right turn
      restrictions). Further detail provided in Engineering comments below.

      A landscaping plan will be required and should provide screening to the building and
      areas of setback encroachments. The Landscaping Code within The Noosa Plan sets
      minimum landscaped area and setback requirements. Planning Scheme Policy 3
      provides further guidance for detailed landscaping design and specification (generally
      relevant to Operational Works approval stage).

      Building elevations will be required to allow assessment of encroachments into setbacks.
      Slab level and extent of cuts will also be a consideration for those.

      An increased setback to allow some on-site landscaping at the building’s eastern end is
      preferred.

      The Noosa Plan has limits for self-assessable signage (generally 4m2 far any sign and a
      total of 10m2 for the site) and code assessment requirements thereafter (generally 4m2 far
      any sign and a total of 10m2 for the site.

      Some remediation works to the park area to the south may be required, dependant on the
      extent of construction disturbance along that boundary. The zero lot line along this
      boundary is supported.

      It is recommended that further pre-lodgement advice is sought when amended proposal
      plans are drafted.

      Access to the site as shown on the submitted plan is generally unacceptable. It is
      expected that the main access point to the site will be from the western boundary (all turns
      access) with the potential for a service vehicle entry from the north eastern boundary. Any
      proposed access arrangements would need to be supported by a Traffic Report prepared
      by a suitably qualified person.

      It is noted that the parking spaces shown on the submitted plan are not in accordance with
      AS/NZS2890.1:2004.

      The layout will need to include sufficient area for the collection, detention and treatment of
      stormwater runoff prior to discharge from the site.




This document is a record of prelodgement discussions and will not be made available for public viewing. Prelodgement
discussions are conducted to explore development options and requirements, identify issues and provide guidance to prospective
applicants about Council’s policies for development. The recorded discussion items and outcomes in no way imply or commit to an
approval of the proposal on the part of Council or Council officers, nor guarantee that all potential issues associated with a
development proposal have been raised / identified. When a formal development application is lodged, the proposal will be
assessed on its planning merits in accordance with Council’s policy framework existing at the time of the assessment.
