Applicable Works Codes

These codes largely relate to the provision of services and infrastructure associated with the proposed
development of the subject site. The site currently has access to an appropriate level of infrastructure.
Driveways and Parking Code

The purpose of the Driveways and parking code is to ensure driveways and parking are adequate to serve
the access and parking needs of development are designed to protect the safety of pedestrians and

cyclists. The proposed development meets the following overall outcomes sought for the Driveways and

Parking Code:

a) Car parking spaces and associated manoeuvring areas are designed to be safe and functional

and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular land use.
f) Driveways and parking areas provide safe and efficient pedestrian and cycle access.

g) Access, parking, servicing and associated manoeuvring areas do not detract from the

streetscape character and are designed to discourage crime and antisocial behaviour.

h) Driveways and parking areas avoid adverse impacts on the environment and the amenity of the

locality.

The proposed vehicle access has been located and designed in accordance with the current Australian
standards for parking facilities, including one footpath crossing. Furthermore, the proposal complies with the

minimum car parking requirements for the intended use while maintaining the integrity of the streetscape.
Earthworks Code
The purpose of the Earthworks code is to ensure earthworks do not unreasonably impact on the natural

environment or other properties and provide a safe and secure work environment. The proposed
development meets the following overall outcomes sought for the Earthworks code are:

a) Earthworks are designed and constructed to be structurally sound.
b) All onsite works provide land stability (including differential settlement or expansion in reactive soils.
c) Earthworks avoid contamination of land.

d) Flooding and drainage are appropriately addressed.

By meeting these outcomes, the proposed development aims to maintain environmental integrity, promote

safety, and prevent potential hazards related to earthworks.

Landscaping Code

The purpose of the Landscaping code is to ensure development incorporates landscapes that are
consistent with and protect and enhance the amenity and distinct vegetated character of Noosa Shire; and
creates quality places and spaces. The proposed development meets the following overall outcomes

sought for the Landscaping code are:

a) Development integrates landscaping into its design, ensuring building and structures sit within the

landscape rather than dominating it.

b) Landscaping is consistent with the vegetated character and landscape design principles of

Noosa Shire.

c) Development retains, reinforces and enhances existing vegetation where practicable and natural

landscape features of the site, streetscape and locality.

d) Landscaping creates aesthetically pleasing, safe, comfortable and functional environments in

which people live, work and visit.
f) Plantings are of a scale and density commensurate with building height, bulk and scale.

g) Hard landscape features use natural materials such as timber or rock over manufactured

materials.

h) Landscaping enhances visual privacy for dwellings, buffers development and conflicting land

uses, and screens services and storage areas.

i) Landscaping species are chosen and established in a manner that promotes longevity and ease

of maintenance

Through adherence to these outcomes, the proposed development aims to create a harmonious and
sustainable landscape that enhances the overall appeal of the development while being considerate of the

natural environment and neighbouring properties.

Water Quality and Drainage Code

The purpose of the Water Quality and Drainage code is to ensure development is planned, designed,
constructed and operated to manage wastewater, stormwater, groundwater and environmental flows and
as part of an integrated water cycle in ways that protect environmental values, water quality and public
health. The development meets the following overall outcomes sought for the Water Quality and Drainage

code:

b) Stormwater drainage systems are designed and constructed to effectively manage or convey

stormwater in a way that protects people, property and the natural environment.

c) Stormwater infrastructure and treatment systems are compatible with existing infrastructure

and are designed and constructed to be cost effective across their design life.

d) Stormwater design and management incorporates consideration of climate change impacts to
ensure the intended function and capacity of the stormwater infrastructure and treatment

systems are maintained over time.

e) Stormwater infrastructure provides an appropriate level of flood immunity for roads based on
desired standards of service identified for different flood hazard areas.

f) Stormwater treatment systems are visually integrated into all development designs in a manner
that incorporates natural features and habitats, as well as education opportunities to raise

awareness of the connection of the development to its receiving waters.

g) Stormwater treatment systems are multi-functional providing for stormwater conveyance,
protection of ecologically important areas, passive recreation and erosion and sediment
control.

h) Hydrologic regimes are maintained to pre-development conditions to maintain waterway
stability, protect ecology and groundwater dependent ecosystems, maintain suitable fish
passage, and mitigate flood risk to people and property.

i) Development is designed, constructed and operated to facilitate erosion and drainage control

and avoid release of prescribed water contaminants into receiving waters.

By fulfilling these outcomes, the proposed development contributes to sustainable water management
practices, protects water quality, and minimises its impact on the natural water systems in the region. This

approach promotes environmental responsibility and helps maintain the ecological balance in the area.

We look forward to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience. Should you require any

additional information or have any queries please to not hesitate to contact us.
