Dear Sir/Madam

Information Request
Sustainable Planning Act 2009

I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No:	MCU17/0046 OPW17/0160
Proposal:	Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises - Multiple Housing Type 2 - Duplex Development Permit for Operational Work - Stormwater, Drainage Works, Earthworks, Carparking & Access and Landscaping
Street Address:	38 Park Cres SUNSHINE BEACH  QLD  4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 598 RP 48112
information required
The information requested is set out below:

Issue
The design of the driveway and the zero setback of the garage and car spaces from the front boundary has resulted in a large expanse of hardstand area which impacts on the amenity of the area and removes opportunity for landscaping and on street car parking.  This scenario is not supported in its current form. This position is consistent with advice in email dated 22 March 2017 to NOF Architects.

Information Required
Provide a revised design that reduces the amount of hardstand area, narrows the driveway access on the street frontage and provides for more landscaping.  Consideration of building setbacks to the front boundary should be investigated to facilitate this outcome.

Issue
The submitted plans refer to a Stormwater Management Report but the report has not been submitted and there are some concerns with the potential for the infiltration system to destabilise the site.

Information Required
Provide a site specific Stormwater Management Report that is consistent with the recommendations of the associated site specific Geotechnical Report and makes reference to the proposed stormwater management plan.

Issue
The submitted stormwater management plan includes private structures in the road reserve and other structures that require clarification.

Information Required
Provide a revised stormwater management plan that locates all private drainage structures (pits and pipes) within the private property. The drainage line connecting to the kerb and channel is excluded from this requirement.
Provide additional detail on how the proposed “charged” line will be maintained
Provide additional detail on the intent of the “gravel scour protection” and how it will function and be maintained.
Provide certification form the design engineer that states that the proposed system, if constructed in accordance with the plans, will not create any off-site impacts.

Issue
The submitted architectural plans indicate retaining structures in the road reserve to support the proposed driveways while the engineering plans do not indicate any structures. Private retaining structures are not permitted in the road reserve.

Information Required
Provide amended plans that do not include private retaining structures in the road reserve and provide additional detail on how the proposed works in the road reserve will smoothly transition to the adjoining frontages.

Issue
The proposed access driveways are not in accordance with Council’s standard drawing RS-050 in that the proposed levels do not achieve that minimum 250mm above the invert of the kerb.

Information Required
Provide amended plans that are in accordance with Council’s standard drawings or alternatively demonstrate how the proposed design will ensure that stormwater runoff is contained in the road formation.

Issue
The site is mapped as being affected by the Landslide Hazard overlay but the applicant has not submitted a geotechnical investigation or recommendations for the specific development.

Information Required
Provide a site specific geotechnical report that includes recommendations for the proposed building design and stormwater disposal system. The report must conclude that the development will be stable in the longer term and not affect the stability of the subject site or any adjoining properties and/or lands.
