RE:     Response to Information Request – MCU21/0133 & OPW21/0220 – 9
        Bottlebrush Ave, Noosa Heads
Council issued a further information request on 2 September 2021. The applicant provides
the following additional information in response to the items:

1. Provide amended plans that include:

     1.1. The longitudinal section extending to the centreline of the road formation.
     1.2. The plans with the footpath section located where pedestrians could
          reasonably cross to the existing path in the frontage of the adjoining
          property.
     1.3. The footpath section with a consistent width on the relevant plans (desirably
          2m, 1.5m minimum).
     1.4. Additional sections within the road reserve which clearly indicate the
          transitions to the adjacent verge areas which do not create trip or fall
          hazards.
     1.5. Please note that Council does not support private retaining structures in the
          road reserve.
     1.6. The depths of the existing services in the road reserve determined by
          potholing. If it is apparent that services may need to be altered provided
          written approval from the relevant service provider.
2.   Provide amended plans that demonstrate that all spaces are accessible for a
     B99 vehicle to enter the space in a forward gear, reverse from the space and exit
     the site in a forward gear in a total of 3 movements.
3.   Provide a plan that demonstrates that vehicles can reverse from the visitor
     space and exit the site in a forward gear when the garage door is closed.
4.   Indicate on the plan the extent of the door and the potential impacts on the swept
     paths for carspaces 2 & 3.
5.   Provide additional comment in regard to:
     5.1. The discharge rate at the outlet point in the kerb and channel (Council’s
          maximum is 25l/sec). Council requires the discharge to not extend into the
          traffic lane and create a traffic hazard so if the discharge is greater than
          25l/sec provide justification for the proposed rate
     5.2. There does not appear to be any measures/structures to address overland
          flows adjacent to the southern boundary. It is noted that the proposed bin
          store extends to the property boundary and has the potential to
          block/redirect overland flows.
