RE: RESPONSE TO COUNCIL’S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPLICATION
LODGED FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT 183 WEYBA ROAD, NOOSAVILLE
Requested Information:
Issue – Onsite Manoeuvring
On the submitted vehicle manoeuvring plan, the swept paths of both vehicles appear to potentially
conflict with the adjacent parking space in each garage. In addition, the rear of the vehicles for both
swept paths, conflict with the landscaping in the front gardens. Council has concerns manoeuvrability
may be limited once the landscaping in the front garden reaches a mature height.
Information Required
8. Please demonstrate the design vehicle can still manoeuvre onsite and leave in a forward gear with
a second vehicle in each garage and without encroaching into the front landscaping or
alternatively reposition the footprint of the dwelling to allow more space for manoeuvring at the
front.
Issue – Stormwater Management Plan
The submitted Stormwater Management Report only addresses water quality. Filling of the site has the
potential to impact on existing overland flow paths and create additional ponding and/or diversion of
overland flow paths onto adjoining properties.
Information Required
9. Please demonstrate the development and filling of the site will not create off-site stormwater
impacts (ponding or diversion of overland flow paths onto adjoining properties) and/or include
appropriate stormwater drainage infrastructure to convey stormwater from adjoining properties,
through the site and to the lawful point of discharge.
Issue - Earthworks
The proposed works include fill to the site however no plans have been submitted that provide any
detail of these works. The submitted acid sulfate soil report only provides an analysis of the soil
characteristics.

Information Required
10. Please provide a preliminary earthworks plan that indicates the volume of fill required for the site
and where necessary (if fill volume triggers the requirement against the Acid Sulfate Soil Overlay
Code), provide an Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan prepared by an RPEQ that provides
recommendations to address the potential risks associated with the fill works.
Issue – Footpath Width
The submitted plan only indicates a small portion of the footpath being replaced at the existing width.
The current Noosa Planning Scheme and Councils standard drawings require footpaths along
Distributor roads to be at a width of 3.0m desirable or 2.0m minimum.
Information Required
11. With existing features restricting the width of the verge area available for a 3.0m wide footpath,
please amend the engineering plan/s to include a 2.0m wide footpath across the frontage of the
development.
Response
Responses to the above matters are as follows:
8. Refer to the updated vehicle turnpaths included on the updated engineering drawings that
accompany this response.
9. The property to the south at 8 Pipi Crescent, Noosaville currently achieves a lawful point of discharge
through kerb adaptor to Pipi Crescent which is clearly visible via Google Street View. The whole site
should have been profiled to fall towards the frontage at the subdivision phase though as detailed
survey information is not available it is agreed that small volumes of nuisance runoff may reach the
development site. As a result all fill walls are proposed to be offset 150mm off the property
boundaries to allow this small volume of runoff to pass along the base of the wall within the
development site out to Weyba Rd.
10. The fill volume has now been included on the updated engineering drawings that accompany this
response. As the calculated volume is below 500m3 it does not trigger an acid sulphate soils
investigation.
11. The requested 2.0m wide footpath has been added to the updated engineering drawings that
accompany this response.
Should you require further information in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Sunshine
Coast office.
