Real Property Description:	Lot 108 RP 94566
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue
The proposed plans do not include RL levels showing the maximum building height. As such, the maximum building height cannot be verified.
Information Required
Please provide amended plans containing RL levels showing the maximum building height.
Provide a copy of the survey plan which informed the RL levels
Issue
Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 of the Sustainable Building Design code seeks that development provides a detailed assessment including supporting documents, demonstrating the means by which the design meets PO8.
Information Required
Please address Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 of the Sustainable Building Design code.

Issue
The submitted documentation does not provide details of how the stormwater of the proposed development will be managed.
Information Required
Provide a preliminary Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ), demonstrating that the proposed development will not cause a worsening of stormwater conditions by adversely altering stormwater drainage characteristics external to the site, including, but not limited to:
additional ponding on neighbouring properties or on road reserve;
increased runoff onto neighbouring properties or road reserve;
redirect overland flows.
Issue
The provided documentation does not include details of the proposed earthworks.
Information Required
Provide a preliminary earthworks plan for the proposed development, prepared by a RPEQ, including, but not limited to: extents; volumes; existing and finished levels; cross-sections; batters and retaining structures; stabilisation methods proposed, etc.
Please note that:
Earthworks on road reserve must be kept to a minimum with no private structures (retaining walls, grated drains, etc.) located within the road reserve;
Any proposed temporary and permanent structural systems must not rely on temporary or permanent anchors extending beyond the property boundary unless written authority from the land owners or controlling authority are provided.
Issue
The submitted documents indicate that the available clearance (i.e. height between the floor and an overhead obstruction) to access the garage is not in accordance with the headroom requirements of AS/NZS 2890.1:2004, section “5.3 HEADROOM”.
Information Required
Provide amended plans demonstrating compliance with the requirements of AS/NZS 2890.1:2004. The plans must be prepared by a qualified person and demonstrating the headroom measured as shown on “FIGURE 5.3 – CRITICAL HEADROOM MEASUREMENT AT A GRADE CHANGE” of AS/NZS 2890.1:2004
Issue
An inspection of the subject site reveals the old Pandanus tree which is located in the road reserve that is nominated for retention needs removing for the following reasons:
The Pandanus tree is at the end of its life’s growing cycle and is considered a liability due to its size and condition; and
The Pandanus tree is located under power lines.
Information Required
As a replacement, provide 2 x 45 litre native street trees within the road reserve a minimum of 1 metre behind the back of the kerb or the edge of the roadway. All street trees must be provided with a garden edge and mulch collar. Where possible the new street trees must take into consideration the appropriate distances from driveways, street lighting and underground infrastructure.

Issue
The planting schedule does not achieve the appropriate mix of native and endemic plants. Planting species must reflect the desired character and intent of the Noosa Planning Scheme Policy, SC6.3.1-PSP2 Landscaping.
Information Required
Provide an amended Landscape Concept Plan detailing the incorporation of screen planting along the northern, eastern and southern boundaries. Native plants must be established at appropriate densities, sufficiently enough to form a vegetation screen with potential to reach a maximum height growth of 4-6 metres at maturity.
Provide a landscaped garden that achieves a width of 2 metres along the frontage of the site except for the driveway. The area of land between the front fence and the boundary must be landscaped to screen the fence from the street. Landscaping must contribute positively to the streetscape character and consist of local native coastal plants.
