Attention: Patrick Murphy, Coordinator Planning

Dear Patrick,

RAL18/0009 – Development Application for Reconfiguring a Lot (Two (2) Lots) at 20 Mitti
Street, Noosa Heads, described a Lot 2 on RP173874

Reference is made to the abovementioned application lodged by Martoo Consulting on 16 April 2018.
Adamson Town Planning has been engaged to assist with the application. Please find attached a letter
of consent provided by the applicant SM Tritton & PJC Loxton (Attachment 1), which confirms
Adamson Town Planning now has carriage of the application.

It is understood that Council was initially supportive of the proposed development but recently has
become concerned about the localised stormwater flow across the site during a 1%AEP event. This is
despite:
      • no external changes being made to the existing built form;
      • suitable access being provided which has an acceptable level of safety;
      • the extension to the dwelling being constructed well above the stormwater flow level;
      • the extension to the dwelling being specifically designed to withstand the stormwater flows
         across the site;
      • the land not being in a Flood Hazard Area (OM6.3); however, is inundated during a 1%AEP
         storm event but has a limited duration;
      • the Flood Hazard Assessment Report confirming that there is minimal risk to people and
         property; and
      • the proposed reconfiguration not altering the level of risk to people and property.

The purpose of this letter is to provide further advice the about the level of compliance with the
planning scheme which hopefully will allay any concerns the Council may have about approving the
development. Further, to the extent there is any non-compliance, consider whether this is minor and
of a technical nature only, and if there are grounds that warrant approval.
