Information Request - May 2026 - MCU23 0007 (002)

Information Required
6.    Clarify extent of northern setback dedicated for landscaping. Consider amending the
      layout to increase the northern setback to provide more meaningful landscape planting
      opportunities to improve the visual presentation of this interface.
7.    Consider amending the plans to improve the visual presentation of the development as
      viewed from Maple Street. This may include:
      a. Alternate colour/material treatment along northern-most wall to avoid single colour
         used on ground and first floor.
      b. Provision of practical feature planting adjacent to internal accessway to screen the
         front of the dwellings.
Issue – Extent of Earthworks
It’s unclear how much cut and fill is proposed, with specific reference to the finished levels for
the internal car park adjacent to the eastern/residential zone interface.
Information Required
8.    Clarify extent of earthworks proposed.
Issue – Stormwater Management
A Stormwater Management Plan has not been submitted as part of the revised design.
An assessment against the Water Quality and Drainage has not been provided.
Information Required
9.    Provide a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP must be prepared by a
      suitably qualified person (RPEQ) and satisfy the requirements under The Noosa Plan
      2020 – Water Quality and Drainage Code and PSP6 – Engineering Design Standards.
      The SWMP must specifically address:
      a.    stormwater quality.
      b.    stormwater quantity.
      c.    how the proposed Lot 1 achieves a lawful point of discharge – noting that Council
            will not sign the plan of survey without an established lawful point of discharge for
            Lot 1
Issue – Roof water Harvesting
The development does not comply with Acceptable Outcome 2.1 of the Sustainable Building
Design Code because each dwelling is not provided with 3,000 litres of rainwater storage that
is refused for non-potable purposes.
Information Required
10.   Provide additional detail demonstrating that each dwelling is provided with 3,000 litres
      of rainwater storage for reusable, non-potable purposes.
Issue – Loss of On-Street Parking
RECOR’s Existing Layout Plan (C003, Rev. A) details the removal of nine on street carparks
along the Maple Street frontage.
Additionally, Council suggests that the location of the proposed new crossover would
compromise a 10th carpark by failing to achieve a minimum 1.0 metre separation between the
carpark and the driveway crossover.
The plans provided by RECOR and PUSH propose eight on street carparks which would result
in a net loss of 1 (likely 2) on-street carparks.
