Information Required
Provide a survey plan of the subject site. The plan must be prepared by a registered surveyor and include existing site levels and contours.
Issue
The frontage of the site will require upgrading as part of the development works. These works may impact on the proposed access driveways.

The works will include but not be limited to:

a new 2m footpath
a new kerb line offset 7.5m (3.5m lane and 4m of cycle lane/parallel parking) from the northern side of the existing landscaped median,
suitable transitions to join with the existing kerb at the western end,
suitable transition at the eastern end to facilitate the proposed service entrance and to join smoothly to the existing kerb to the east.
Information Required
Indicate on all relevant plans the works described above
Provide preliminary plans (plan and section) of the access driveways extending from the centreline of the Mary Street formation to the parking and loading areas.
Provide additional comment from the design engineer in regard to the potential for the new access driveway being able to provide 1%AEP flood immunity to the basement.
Issue
The proposed use (Visitor Accommodation Type 4 Conventional) is defined as a “residential Use” in the Noosa Plan and as such must provide 1%AEP immunity to the basement without the use of mechanical pumping (Noosaville Locality Code – Probable Solution S17.5). The submitted engineering report indicates that the proposal includes a flood barrier, storage tanks and a pump system.
Information Required
Provide sufficient comment to demonstrate how the proposed development achieves compliance the Noosaville Locality Code – Specific Outcome O17 and Probable Solution S17.5.
Provide a preliminary design of the stormwater drainage system including all of the various elements.
Issue
The Noosa Plan defines a basement as a space where the ceiling height projects no more than one metre above both the natural ground surface and the finished ground level, and where access to the basement is limited to one opening a maximum of 6m wide.
It is unclear from the submitted plans as to whether the proposal complies with this requirement as no survey detailing the natural ground level has been provided. It appears that the access to the basement is in excess of 6 metres wide.
Information Required
Amended plans, including a survey plan, which clearly demonstrate the proposal complies with the definition of a basement.
Issue

Is café to be available to public?

Details of how the multi-purpose/flexible lounge is to be used, including:
Is this area to be accessed by Days and hours of operation;
Is a liquor licence proposed which includes this area?
Issue
The significant height of the building may have a detrimental effect on the streetscape. Furthermore, the building height at rear of the site (northern boundary) is excessive in lieu of the proposed reduced setback.
Information Required
A visual representation of the proposed building situated within the streetscape, the representation must include the surrounding buildings.

Amended plans which provide for an increased setback to the upper level so that it complies with the 6.0 metre setback requirement
Issue
The area to the front includes excessive hard surfacing adjacent to the front boundary. The proposed MRV area may be excessive for the type of bin collection required. If waste collection is to be from 1100 lite plastic wheelie bins there is no requirement for Council’s waste collection vehicles to enter the site.
Information Required
Amended plans which reduce the MRV delivery area to the minimum area possible and provide 2.0 metres of landscaping between the front boundary and the turning bay.

A Waste Management Plan.

Review of the area required for bin collection, it is recommended that contact be made with Council’s waste management team.
Issue
A roof plan has not been provided, the roof plan will assist in the assessment of the gross floor area. An initial assessment of the gross floor area (GFA) has identified that the development appears to be in excess of the permitted 300m2 per building.
Information Required
A roof plan of the development.
