application details
Application No.	MCU22/0032
Street Address:	4 Tristania Dr Marcus Beach Qld 4573
Real Property Description:	Lot 101 M 11112
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue
The proposal exceeds two storeys as the basement is non-compliant with the Noosa Plan administrative definition of a basement. The basement has been measured from floor to ceiling whereas the basement definition requires measurement taken from the floor of the basement to the floor of the storey above. The appearance of three storeys on the front façade presents the appearance of bulk to adjoining properties and road frontages.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that comply with basement and height requirements as outlined in the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
Issue
The proposal does not comply with plot ratio requirements outlined in the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that comply with Acceptable Outcome AO11 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code regarding plot ratio.
Issue
It is unclear as to the extent of landscaping proposed. The Low Density Housing Code requires a minimum of 20% soft landscaping on the site. The Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code requires “a mix of native landscaping, such as ground covers, shrubs and trees, is provided for a width of 5 metres from the seaward or rear boundary of the site to provide adequate landscape buffering to protect the coastal dune system” (Acceptable Outcome AO5). Please note vegetation clearing in the road reserve is not supported by Council.
Information Required
Provide details of landscaping for the proposed dwelling house, noting the landscaping requirements within the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code and Low Density Housing Code.
Issue
The proposed dwelling house does not comply with setback requirements as per Acceptable Outcomes AO12.1 and AO12.2 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
It is unclear if the proposed pool complies with setback requirements. Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 allows pools protruding no more than 1 metre above ground level to be as close as 2 metres from the front boundary.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that comply with setback requirements as outlined in the Medium Density Residential Zone Code.
Provide amended elevations that provide detail of the proposed pool that comply with setback requirements.
Issue
The subject site is mapped in Council’s system as being affected by the Landslide Hazard Overlay.
Information Required
Provide a site-specific geotechnical report prepared by a suitably qualified person and include recommendations for the construction of the proposed development and the protection of adjoining properties.
Issue
Council’s mapping system shows a sewer line running inside the subject property along its eastern boundary. From the submitted plans, and Council’s mapping system, it is unclear whether the proposed works are adjacent and/or over Unity Water’s asset.
Information Required
Provide amended plans detailing (location, depth, pipe size, etc.) the existing sewer line in relation to the proposed works.
Provide Unity Water’s approval for the proposed works adjacent and/or over the existing sewer line.
Issue
Council’s mapping system shows a stormwater line running inside the subject property along its southern boundary. From the submitted plans, and Council’s mapping system, it is unclear whether the proposed works are adjacent and/or over Council’s stormwater asset.

Information Required
Provide amended plans detailing (location, depth, pipe size, etc.) the existing stormwater line in relation to the proposed works.
Provide amended plans showing the creation of an easement over this asset in accordance with Noosa Council’s Planning Scheme.
Issue
The submitted documentation proposes earthworks and the construction of retaining structures, though no details for these works are provided.
Information Required
Provide details, prepared by a RPEQ (Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland), of the proposed earthworks, including, but not limited to: extents; volumes; existing and finished levels; cross-sections; batters and/or retaining structures; stabilisation methods proposed, etc.
Provide additional detail on the proposed retaining walls. The detail must be prepared by a RPEQ and include but not be limited to:
The type of wall construction (material, foundations etc.);
Section plans indicating the location of the walls and foundations in relation to the property boundary, the building pad, finished floor levels, proposed deck, driveway, etc.;
The structures required to collect and convey existing overland flows that are impacted on by the construction of the walls;
Any fencing to be installed on top of or beside the walls;
The location of any services, above or below ground, adjacent to the proposed walls.
Issue
No details have been provided with regards to how the stormwater will be managed.
Information Required
Provide a preliminary Stormwater Management Plan for the site, including details of collection and discharge of stormwater runoff from the buildings and the hardstand areas.
