               2.     APPLICATION BACKGROUND
               The subject operational works application has been submitted to address the conditions
               of Court Judgement 1998 of 2024, issued on 26 June 2025 (Council reference: MCU22/0094) for
               a Material Change of Use– Childcare Centre.
               An associated boundary realignment application (RAL25/0019) was approved by Council on 16
               January 2026 and Plan Sealing application (PS26/0006) was approved 15 May 2026.
               3.     SITE DETAILS
               3.1. Site History
               The site has historically been vacant.
               3.2. Site Description
               The site is a vacant 2,476 m² Major Centre zoned lot.
               3.3. Surrounding Land Uses
               Vacant.
               4.     ASSESSMENT
               4.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020 (26 September 2025).
               4.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Works Codes;
               The subject site is located in Noosaville and is zoned Major Centre. The proposed use is identified
               as a consistent use within the zone and is required to follow a code assessable application process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:
               Stormwater
               The proposed stormwater design is consistent with the intent of the preliminary stormwater
               treatment plan approved as part of Court Judgement 1998 of 2024. A lawful point of discharge has
               been achieved via an existing stormwater connection provided to the lot as part of previous
               operational works (OPW20/0145).
               Earthworks
               The proposed earthworks align with the preliminary bulk earthworks plan approved as part of Court
               Judgement 1998 of 2024.
               Access
               Access is achieved via an existing vehicle crossover provided as part of previous operational works
               (OPW20/0145). Sufficient manoeuvring areas including a turnaround bay and loading bay are
               provided, allowing ingress and egress of vehicle in a forward gear. A kerb ramp is shown adjacent
               to the existing vehicle crossover, the location is not desirable, conflicting with a traffic island, an
               existing pedestrian crossing and refuge island is located approximately 20m away. The applicant
               agreed for Council to annotate the plans removing kerb ramp.
               Waste
                                                                                                        Page 3 of 12

Version: 7, Version Date: 21/05/2026

               An Operational Waste Management Plan (OWMP) has been submitted in with the application.
               Council’s waste has team reviewed the proposal and is supportive of the OWMP. Servicing will be
               restricted to occur outside of peak child drop-off or pick up times (10:00am to 2:00pm) where the
               refuse collection vehicle (RCV) will have a capacity to use carparking spaces for manoeuvring.
               The arrangement avoids peak traffic and pedestrian interactions and allows the RCV to ingress
               and egress in a forward gear.
               Parking
               A nominal ‘no-standing’ period from 10:00am to 2:00pm Monday to Sunday has been proposed for
               selected parks to align with the OWMP and allow sufficient manoeuvring area for the RCV. These
               timeframes may be reviewed and revised in line with centre specific peak drop-off and pick-up
               hours that will be determined once the site is operational.
               Signs and Linemarkings
               Selected parks are to be signed ‘no-standing’ including time restrictions as required to facilitate the
               OWMP. A zebra crossing is provided at the entrance to allow safe pedestrian access.


               5.      CONSULTATION
               5.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               5.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •       Senior Environment Officer, Development Assessment
               6.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

                      Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
               15.    Safe vehicle and pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be
                      maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction
                      works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
                      requirements complied with.
               16.    All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
                      Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to
                      existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
               17.    Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed

                      c.      All paths must have a slip resistant surface;
                      d.      Expansion and contraction joints must provide a flush finish. Installation of joints by
                              saw cutting is preferred to ensure a smooth ride for cyclists;
                      e.      The required work includes any modifications to ensure the footpath finishes flush with
                              all existing service covers and the like, or alternatively these services are raised or
                              altered, so as not to create a pedestrian safety hazard; and
               19.    Pathways must:
                      a.      terminate in a manner that ensures smooth transition to existing surfaces for public
                              safety; and
                      b.      be designed and constructed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA),
                              Access to Premises Standard, Austroads and relevant sections of AS1428 Design for
                              access and mobility.
                      Earthworks and Retaining Walls
               20.    All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
                      on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with geotechnical testing
                      undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 2’ as
                      defined in Appendix B. Test results as required by AS 3798, and a certificate of quality and
                      uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ and submitted to Council.
               21.    Fall protection must be provided to retaining walls that are over 1m high and located around
                      the perimeter of the bio-retention basin.
               22.    Slope and batters are a maximum grade of:
                      a.      1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies;
                      b.      1 in 4 for grassed areas;
                      c.      1 in 3 for planted areas; and
                      d.      1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
                      Stormwater Drainage
               23.    Appropriate scour protection must be provided at the outlet of all stormwater pipes including
                      temporary outlets.
               24.    Works associated with this permit must not adversely impact on the existing drainage
                      conditions on other properties (e.g., by blocking or interfering with natural overland flows).
               25.    Construction of all internal stormwater drainage works must comply with the relevant
                      section/s of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.3.
               26.    Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised
                      using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation and which will continue
                      to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium- to long-term (refer to E&SC Advisory Notes).
                      For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does
                      not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion
                      or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               27.    Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
                      Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
                      to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
                      taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.




                                                                                                              Page 8 of 12

Version: 7, Version Date: 21/05/2026

Page 9

               28.    Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
                      measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such
                      fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
                      Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
                      system or adversely impacting on other properties. The sediment and erosion control design
                      and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is
                      responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
                      a.      Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
                              practise" methods;
                      b.      Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
                              projected construction schedule and/or methods;
                      c.      Been revised to address predicted rainfall events; and
                      d.      Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
                      Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
                      found inefficient.
               29.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                      standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
               30.    The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
                      extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
                      conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
                      to rainfall occurring.
               31.    The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
                      properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
                      machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
                      measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
                      pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
                      contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
                      drainage system or waterways.
               32.    Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, all site surfaces must
                      be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
                      and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term. For the
                      purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or
                      is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or
                      lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
               VEGETATION PROTECTION
               Retention of Existing Trees and Vegetation
               33.    All trees and vegetation identified for retention must be protected in accordance with AS4970,
                      Protection of trees on development sites.
               34.    Fauna or fauna habitat relating to minor approved tree removal/clearing works must be
                      managed by a qualified person*.
                      *(Refer to Advisory Note)
               35.    All tree and vegetation removal works must be undertaken by a qualified person*.
                      *(Refer to Advisory Note)
                      Clearing of Vegetation
               36.    Prior to felling or pruning, all trees are to be inspected for wildlife (i.e. koalas, possums, birds’
                      nests etc). If wildlife is present, the tree must not be felled or pruned until the wildlife has left
                      the tree or has been removed by a qualified person*.

                                                                                                            Page 9 of 12

                      *(Refer to Advisory Note)
               37.    Vegetation removal or pruning must be undertaken in a manner that avoids damaging
                      surrounding vegetation and habitat.
               38.    Landscape works must be supervised, undertaken and certified by qualified persons*. All
                      works must be completed in accordance with this Decision Notice.
                      *(Refer to Advisory Note)
                      Landscaping works
               39.    Turfed areas must be free of pest, diseases and weeds and level with adjoining surfaces.
                      Damage to Services and Assets
               40.    Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works
                      must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
                      a.      where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately;
                              or
                      b.      where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.
                      Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and assets
                      must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
               FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION
                      Easements
               41.    An easement for drainage purposes must be registered in favour of Council against the title
                      of Lot 3 SP322201 nominally which convey stormwater from the upstream catchment. The
                      easement must be a sufficient width to contain all underground stormwater infrastructure and
                      allow for maintenance. The easement must be granted prior to the commencement of use.
                      Certification

               7.     ADVISORY NOTES

               ADVISORY NOTES
               The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
               of the assessment manager conditions:
                      General Advisory Notes
               1.     Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
                      proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
                      as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects of
                      the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
                      additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
               2.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
                      safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
               3.     Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
                      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
                      2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
                      application along with the appropriate fees.
                      Prestart Request
               4.     Contact Council on 5329 6500 to arrange a prestart or an inspection giving a minimum of 5
                      business days’ notice of preferred inspection time.
               5.     If Council officers are required to undertake additional inspections of the same works, a
                      reinspection fee will be applicable in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges register
                      applicable at the time.
                      Environmental Advisory Notes
               6.     The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out any activity
                      that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable
                      and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm includes
                      environmental nuisance. In this regard persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks,
                      construction and landscaping phases of this development are to adhere to their ‘general
                      environmental duty’ to minimise the risk of causing environmental harm.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               7.     Accepted best practice standards include International Erosion Control Association
                      Australasia Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control.
               8.     Qualified Person, for the purpose of erosion and sediment control is a Certified Professional
                      in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or suitably experienced Registered Professional
                      Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
               9.     As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term stabilisation if
                      at the time of the plan sealing inspection:
                      a.      Methods of stabilisation are:
                              •    appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                              •    are consistent with best practice environmental management practices such as in
                                   the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA Manual; and
                      b.      Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in visible
                              evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.

                                                                                                       Page 11 of 12
