      and as may be amended by these conditions.
2.    The development must be undertaken and operated in a manner that causes no detrimental
      effect upon the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of the creation of excessive noise,
      lighting nuisance or other emissions.
3.    The open space and setback areas are to be landscaped in accordance with Council’s Policy
      on Landscaping Guidelines and a properly prepared landscape plan prepared by a suitably
      qualified Landscape Architect or Horticulturalist. Such landscaping is to be completed prior to
      the premises being occupied and maintained at all times thereafter. In this regard:-
      3.1.     Native screening vegetation shall be established along the side boundaries and shall
               include trees with 45 – 75litre pot sizes;
      3.2.     A minimum of three (3) native species with a minimum pot size of 100litres shall be
               established within the landscaped setback to the Sunseeker Close frontage;
      3.3.     Native screening shrubs shall be provided within the road reserve to visually screen
               the rear boundary fence when viewed from Gibson Road; &
      3.4.     One (1) x 45litre native street tree, such as an Eleocarpus reticulatus, Backhousia
               citridora or Banksia integrifolia, shall be provided within the road reserve to the
               Sunseeker Close frontage.
4.    Existing trees on the site and within road reserves are to be retained, except where required to
      be removed due to building operations or the conduct of the approved use. These landscape
      plans required to be submitted are to denote areas of existing vegetation or existing trees
      proposed or required to be retained.
5.    All fencing shall be setback at least 1 metre from the Sunseeker Close property boundary, with
      at least half of the fencing setback 2 metres. The area of land between the fence and the front
      property boundary shall be densely landscaped to screen any fencing from the street.
6.    Any deck or balcony areas are not to be enclosed with shutters, glass panelling or the like,
      thus remaining as open structures.
7.    The building shall not exceed 8 metres above natural ground level and finished ground level.
8.    The proposed development shall have all kitchen, laundry and bathroom fittings that comply
      with the AAA Water Conservation Rating System as defined by the AS/NZS 6400 (Water
      Efficient Products - Rating and Labelling 2003) and AS/NZS 3500 (National Plumbing and
      Drainage Standard Part 1.2), with toilets to comply with the AAAA Water Conservation Rating
      System. All tap ware and shower roses shall not exceed a maximum flow of 9 litres per min.
      Dishwashers and washing machines are excluded from this requirement.
9.    All hot water systems installed shall be either solar systems; electric heat pump systems; or
      gas systems (LPG or natural).
10.   Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $10,000 must be
      submitted, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, prior to the issue of a
      Development Permit for operational works. The cash bond or trading bank guarantee will be
      returned on performance of the conditions of approval less any costs incurred by Council in
      respect of enforcing performance of this permit.


                                                                                    Page 2 of 12

11.   The requirements of this development approval are to be effected, prior to the use of the
      premises. Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum referred to in
      this approval to effect compliance with conditions.
12.   The Development Permit for a material change of use of premises lapses if the use has
      commenced by 12 August 2012, unless an application to extend the currency is approved by
      Council.
13.   The developer must obtain all of the other Development Permits referred to in the Decision
      Notice, prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Building Works.
Land Development
River Flooding
14.   All buildings proposed on site (and areas utilised for carparking purposes associated with the
      buildings) shall be constructed to comply with Council’s Minimum Floor Height requirements
      as defined in Council’s Planning Scheme and on Council’s Scheme Maps at the time of issue
      of the Building Permit.
      In this regard and as an indication only all habitable areas of the proposed duplex should have
      a Minimum Floor Height of RL 2.6m above AHD. These levels however are subject to change
      and verification shall be made to Council’s Land Development Section prior to obtaining a
      Development Permit for Building Works.
      The applicant should note that compliance with these levels does not necessarily require the
      site to be filled as an equal result can be achieved by suspending the lower levels of the
      building as opposed to filling. To this extent excessive filling should be avoided to prevent any
      impacts on neighbouring properties and minimum floor levels should be strictly adhered to
      without building higher than is actually needed to prevent flooding.
Vehicle Access
15.   A vehicular access driveway to serve the proposed duplex shall be constructed from the
      Sunseeker Close frontage of the site with a maximum width of 4.5m.
16.   The driveway shall be designed and constructed to Council’s design standards and to grades
      that prevent vehicles from scraping and/or bottoming whilst also allowing pedestrians
      movements along the footpath without any step or level difference. Should any driveways be
      constructed to grades that do not comply with AS/NZS 2890.1-2004, Council will require that
      the driveway be removed and reconstructed to levels that do comply.
      Please note, a step between the driveway and the footpath shall be avoided, as it is preferred
      to have the footpath continue at a constant grade to minimise the potential for pedestrians to
      trip or fall.
17.   To ensure pedestrian safety between vehicles exiting the site and pedestrians on the footpath,
      the driveway and any associated fencing or vegetation near the driveway shall comply with the
      minimum sight line requirements as defined in AS 2890.1, section 3.2.4. The applicant shall
      demonstrate compliance by illustrating these sight lines on the plans submitted for both
      Operational Works approval and Building Works approval.
18.   All vehicles shall enter and leave the site in a forward direction.
Car Parking
Off Street
19.   Carparking shall be provided within the site as shown on drawing number 07585 Page 1 0f 8
      and Page 3 of 8 dated 27 May 2008 by Caloundra Design and Drafting, except as modified
      herein.
20.   The open visitor carpark space provided between the building and the front property boundary
      of the site as shown on drawing number 07585 Page 1 of 8 dated 27 May 2008 by Caloundra
      Design and Drafting shall be maintained so that it is clearly visible and shall not be restricted
      by gates, security screens or other obstacles.
                                                                                     Page 3 of 12

                                                                                           2008/989



21.   The carparking area shall be designed to comply with the provisions of AS/NZS 2890.1-2004
      for user class 1A with allowance for vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward gear.
Frontage Works
22.   Footpath improvements such as topsoiling, grassing, and tree planting are required to the
      Sunseeker Close frontage of the site in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy PSP03
      Landscaping Plants & Guidelines. Grass shall be couch, free of weeds.
23.   A new 1.5m wide concrete path shall be constructed along the Sunseeker Close frontage of
      the site in accordance with Council’s design standards and to an alignment that protects any
      significant vegetation or any underground services. The new concrete path shall link the
      existing pathway that is located alongside the eastern property boundary with the existing
      concrete pathway located within the frontage of 20 Sunseeker Close. In the event the width of
      the existing pathway on the frontage of 20 Sunseeker Close is less than 1.5m, the new
      constructed pathway shall taper to the existing pathway network.
24.   All paths, driveways and parking areas shall be designed and constructed to ensure
      pedestrian safety using non-slip materials, to produce an evenly graded surface finish, and to
      be in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and Australian Standard 1428.1
      Design for Access & Mobility.
Roof Water & Stormwater Drainage
25.   Roof runoff from any new building shall be directed to a rainwater storage system or tank that
      is installed to ensure water from the rainwater storage system or tank is used for external uses
      (such as watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water features, topping-up swimming
      pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) and for internal (ground floor) use in washing machine cold taps
      and toilet cisterns. All rainwater tanks are to be designed and installed in accordance with the
      Queensland Development Code (QDC) current at the time of building approval, and shall be
      part of the plumbing application for approval. The location and capacity of the tank(s) shall be
      clearly shown on the plans submitted for Building Works / Operational Works approval and
      any overflow shall be directed to the stormwater drainage system located at Sunseeker Close.
26.   All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system)
      shall be collected and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater runoff from the
      site. Stormwater drainage permitted to drain from the site shall be discharged to Council’s
      kerb & channel street drainage system in Sunseeker Close. Plans of the drainage design
      shall be prepared by a Registered Professional Civil Engineer and submitted to Council prior
      to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
      The maximum discharge of stormwater drainage allowable to Council’s kerb & channel street
      drainage system at any one location is 25 litres/second.
27.   If the site will be filled, appropriate stormwater drainage pipes shall be installed within the site
      to collect and discharge stormwater runoff from all adjoining properties to prevent additional
      ponding/flooding on these properties.
28.   All site stormwater drainage shall be by means of a gravity system.
Sewer Mains
29.   The site shall be connected to Council’s existing sewerage reticulation systems and be
      constructed in accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
30.   The existing sewer main that is located in the adjoining property at the south west of the site
      and the ‘zone of influence’ (taken as the area within a 45-degree angle measured from the
      invert of the sewer main to the finished surface level) shall be accurately located and
      determined by a licensed Surveyor and shown on all plans submitted for Operational Works
      approval.


                                                                                       Page 4 of 12

                                                                                         2008/989



      To ensure Council’s sewer main is accessible for maintenance purposes and is protected from
      risk of damage no structures requiring a building permit (eg. buildings, swimming pools,
      retaining walls exceeding 1m in height, raised terraces, etc) shall be constructed within this
      ‘zone of influence’ or within 1.5m of the centreline of the sewer main, whichever is the greater.
Town Water Supply
31.   The site shall be connected to Council’s existing town water supply and be constructed in
      accordance with Council’s standards and requirements at no cost to Council.
32.   Each individual water connection to the water reticulation system shall extend to the property
      boundary and be metered. All fees for the supply of water meters shall be paid to the Council.
33.   All water meters must be located outside the property boundary and in an easily assessable
      location to facilitate unhindered reading by Council and/or Council’s contracted water meter
      readers, and not behind fences or locked gates. In this regard approval of the water meter
      configuration and location must be obtained from Council’s Water & Sewerage Capital Works
      Manager prior to lodgement and approval of hydraulic drawings.
34.   For Multiple Uses (including Building Format Plans, Group Title Plans, etc) the development
      shall be served by:
      34.1.   A single Body Corporate water meter to measure the total water consumption
              (including fire hose reels, but excluding fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems), and
      34.2.   Individual water meters to each tenement capable of being separately rated, and
      34.3.   A fire service (fully testable single detector check with metered bypass), where
              applicable, for flows to fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems (excluding fire hose
              reels).
Service Easements (Sewer)
35.   A registered easement shall be created over the zone of influence of all sewers within the
      subject site and over those parts of the subject site that are impacted upon by sewers on any
      adjoining sites. The easements shall generally be parallel to and centred over the sewer main
      and be equivalent in width to twice the depth to invert level of the sewer at the deepest point
      within the allotment (measured from the finished surface) and be no less than 3.0m wide
      overall. In this regard a licensed surveyor shall accurately locate all sewer mains and
      determine the necessary width of the easement, which shall be shown on any plans submitted
      for Operational Works / Building Works approval. To this extent the surveyor shall certify that
      the sewer and the zone of influence is wholly contained within the easement to be created.
      In addition to this the Applicant’s Solicitor shall give Council’s Solicitor an appropriate
      undertaking in writing that the Title Deed and the easement documents will be lodged at the
      Land Titles Office and any additional Titles Office forms or requisitions requiring the consent of
      Council will be attended to promptly.

      A duly executed copy of the easement shall be submitted to Council for perusal prior to the
      use commencing. Any changes required by Council’s Solicitor must be corrected immediately.
36.   No building or other structure shall be constructed or encroach over an easement.
Earthworks
37.   Filling works required on site shall be carried out in accordance with Council’s Planning
      Scheme Policy PSP5 – Engineering Design Standards, so as not to cause the additional
      ponding of water on any adjoining lands or the blockage of, or interference with, any natural
      watercourses. Detailed site surveys indicating natural surface levels and contours of the
      adjoining properties must be provided with the application for a Development Permit for
      Operational Works for Filling and Drainage.


                                                                                      Page 5 of 12

                                                                                         2008/989



      This may require the design and construction of drainage pipes and/or an overland flow-path
      within the development site that caters for drainage from the adjoining sites for a design storm
      with an Average Recurrence Interval of 1 in 100 years. A private easement for the Drainage of
      Water encompassing the drainage pipes or overland flow-path will also be required. In this
      regard a Development Permit for Operational Works shall be obtained.

      Should evidence be provided to Council indicating that no additional ponding of stormwater
      will occur on the adjoining properties the requirement for the drainage pipes, overland flow-
      path and easement shall not apply.
38.   Earthworks carried out on site shall not affect the structural integrity of any of the existing
      fences or structures that border the development site. Fences that are affected shall be
      replaced prior to the Building Certifier issuing the Certificate of Classification. In this regard
      any fences to be replaced shall be clearly shown on the plans submitted for Operational
      Works approval.
Acid Sulfate Soils
                                                                                             3
39.   As the site is located below the 5m AHD, any excavation works consisting of 100m or greater
                                                   3
      and/or any filling works consisting of 500m or greater and with an average depth of 0.5m or
      greater will need to be carried out in accordance with State Planning Policy 2/02 Planning and
      Managing Development Involving Acid Sulfate Soils. In this regard appropriate testing and
      supporting documentation prepared by a suitably qualified specialist shall be submitted to
      Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
Erosion and Sediment Control
40.   Any person acting on this permit shall prevent erosion and sediment export from leaving the
      site. Site control measures such as silt fencing, controlled gravel access to the site and
      controlled disposal of waste, will be necessary.
      In this regard plans detailing the methods of controlling erosion and sediment are required to
      be submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
      Operational Works.
Contributions Towards Council Infrastructure
41.   Monetary contributions shall be paid to Noosa Council towards the cost of providing and/or
      upgrading various infrastructure at the rates applicable at the time of payment. An estimate
      only of the contribution amounts under the current Council policies and requirements is
      outlined in the table below:
