Dear Sir/Madam

Information Request
Sustainable Planning Act 2009

I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No:	MCU17/0009 & OPW17/0037
Proposal:	Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises - Multiple Housing Type 2 - Duplex
Street Address:	23 Grant St NOOSA HEADS  QLD  4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 8 SP 179879
Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (28 October 2016)
information required
The information requested is set out below:
Issue – Driveway
The driveway is proposed up to 1.6m above the NGL which raises amenity issues between uses. The proposed 0.6m wide garden is considered inadequate to provide a sufficient landscape buffer between the driveway and boundary.
Information Required
Please provide a minimum 1.5m setback to the driveway to allow sufficient space for landscaping. A slightly lessor setback may be acceptable to those areas at the rear of the site required to facilitate vehicle turning and to areas where the driveway (FFL) is less than 1m above the NGL. Note the driveway may have a minimum width of 2.5m.
Issue – Landscaping
It is considered the pool fence located on the front boundary does not meet the provisions of the code.
Information Required
Please provide a 0.5m wide garden in front of the pool fence.
Issue – Vehicle manoeuvring
There is concern of the adequacy of the turning area provided for vehicles to enter and exit the parking spaces at the rear of the building (particularly the first parking space adjacent to the proposed driveway and the last space adjacent to the eastern boundary).
Information Required
Provide a plan prepared by a suitably qualified person to demonstrate safe and easy maneuvering for a B99 vehicle to enter and leave the parking space in 3 movements i.e. enter, reverse out – turn around and leave in a forward direction.
Should the turning area be required to extend over the existing drainage easement and/or the infiltration soaker pit, this pavement needs to be constructed to allow for easy removal and reconstruction (eg pavers).
Issue – External Works
A concrete footpath is required along the frontage of the site.
Information Required
The engineering and landscaping plans should be amended to include a concrete footpath along the frontage of the site at around 1.5m wide.
Issue – External Finishes
Insufficient details have been provided for the wall cladding.
Information Required
Please provide details on the material for wall cladding types 1 and 2.
End of Information Request
