Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (8 June 2018)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue
New Driveway to No 28 Crystal Street.
The finished levels of the driveway stand above the surrounding surface levels creating a trip hazard and the levels create the potential for runoff from the road reserve to be directed onto the adjoining property.
The finished levels of the driveway direct runoff from the driveway towards the site and the internal levels direct runoff towards the dwellings. The driveway does not include any features to control the surface runoff.
It is noted that the surface of the new driveway indicates that vehicles have been scrapping or bottoming out when using the driveway.
Information Required
Provide plans of the driveway that are either prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) or are endorsed by a RPEQ. The plans must include sufficient detail to demonstrate:
that the driveway will not create trip hazards in the road reserve and the extent of any filling works in the road reserve
that the driveway levels and associated filling works do not direct runoff from the road reserve on to the adjoining property
that the levels and grades of the driveway are sufficient to ensure that vehicles do not scrap or bottom out on the driveway or the road formation when entering and exiting the site. It is expected that the vehicle will be a B99 vehicle as described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004 and a longitudinal section extending from the centreline of the road formation to the property boundary will be included.
that the runoff from the driveway will not adversely impact on the functionality, longevity and structural integrity of the dwellings. Any necessary features to control and direct surface runoff must be included on the plans
