Application No.	MCU20/0071 and OPW20/0130
Street Address:	24 Moorindil Street, Tewantin Qld 4565
Real Property Description:	Lot 2 on RP89425
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (31 July 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue – Building height
Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states buildings and structures are no more than 8 metres in building height and Acceptable Outcome AO8.2 states where excavation is required, the maximum portion of the exposed external façade of the building cannot exceed 8m in building height.
The height of the buildings is unclear on the proposal plans.
Information Require
Provide section plans at the highest point of the building clearly showing the height of both buildings, in accordance with the definition for building height under Noosa Plan 2020.
Provide plans of the western and southern elevations clearly showing the height of the façades (refer to below information required regarding Setbacks).

Issue – Plot ratio
Performance Outcome PO11 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states plot ratio for small dwellings does not exceed 0.5:1. The proposed plot ratio is in excess of 0.5:1 and therefore does not comply with PO11.
Information Required
Provide updated plans that comply with PO11. In preparing updated plans, refer to the definitions of plot ratio and gross floor area under Noosa Plan 2020.
Issue – Setbacks
Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code states buildings and structures meet the following minimum boundary setbacks for the western and southern boundaries are:
1.5 metres setback up to 4.5 metres height;
2 metres setback between 4.5 metres and 7.5 metres height; and
metres where above 7.5 metres height.
The western and southern setbacks for each storey are not clearly marked on the proposal plans.
Information Required
Provide updated plans that clearly show setbacks in accordance with the requirements of AO12.1 in relation to the height of the building.
Issue – Frontage Works
The proposed development requires upgraded frontage works including new 2.0m wide concrete public pathway in compliance with current engineering standards and Council’s requirements.
Information Required
Provide detailed engineering plan/s prepared by a suitably qualified engineer for upgrading the existing concrete public pathway along the frontages of the site to Moorindil Street and Toolar Street, the design must include/address, in particular, the following;
2.0m wide concrete pathway in compliance with the applicable standard drawing and shall be extended where necessary beyond the frontages of the site to smoothly join existing pathway or to achieve compliant grades and standards.
A longitudinal section for the full length of the proposed pathway that demonstrates compliant public pathway grades. The section should also indicate any required earthworks (cut/fill) on the road verge.
Details for any required pram ramps in accordance with the applicable standards, and Council’s requirements.
Any necessary handrail requirement for fall protection in compliance with the standards.
Any required adjustment to existing services’ covers (eg water hydrant, Telstra pit/s etc).
Any required stormwater drainage provisions (eg drainage measures to control surface runoffs or stormwater ponding near sag points).

Issue – Access Driveway and Car Parking
Sufficient information has not been provided regarding the proposed access driveway and car parking.
Information Required
Provide the following information:
Updated longitudinal section of the driveway and the vehicular crossover that demonstrate that vehicles will not bottom out or scrap (the driveway and/or road pavement) when entering or exiting the site and be in accordance with AS/NZS2890.1 for a B99 vehicle. The access crossover must also match the width and grades of the new pathway.
Details and confirmation that the widths of driveway and proposed garages are in compliance with AS/NZS2890.1, particularly in reference to Section and Fig 5.4 as minimum requirement.
Issue - Stormwater
Sufficient information has not been provided regarding the proposed stormwater connection.
Information Required
Provide longitudinal section of the property proposed stormwater connection pipeline (300mm) to the existing Council’s stormwater kerb inlet pit in Moorindil Street, that include/address, in particular, the following:
Show on section the actual locations and levels of the intersecting underground existing services (eg the sewer main, Telstra cables and pit, any NBN cables) and their clearance from the proposed stormwater connection pipeline.
Written confirmations from that the proposed clearances are acceptable to the relevant service providers, and that the proposed works are not in conflict with these services.
Any required adjustment to the design or the existing services if needed.
Issue – General Notes on Engineering Works
Existing stormwater pipelines connection from the site into the kerb in Moorindil Street will be redundant and should be removed and the works reinstated accordingly.
Sections (B-B) and (C-C) on Dwg OW3.2 (Earthworks Sections) does not show the depth of Cut/Fill
Information Required
Provide updated engineering plans to include the above.
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 28 November 2020. Please advise Council of your response to this information request in accordance with section 13 of the Development Assessment Rules.
If you do not provide a response before the due date, it will be taken as if you have decided not to respond to the information request and Council will continue with the assessment of your application.
