Dear Applicant
Information Request
Planning Act 2016
I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No.	MCU25/0060
Proposal:	Material Change of Use – Dwelling House
Street Address:	Noosa Dunes 22/512 David Low Way Castaways Beach Qld 4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 22 SP 111721
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Item – Height
The proposed development is 3 storeys. In reading the development parameters of the Plan of Development each building is to be no more than 2 storeys, 3 levels, and 8 metres high or RL 44 whichever is the lesser.
The southern elevation presents 3 storeys, in reading the plans it is unclear to what extent of the 3rd storey will be visible.
Information Required
Revise plans to not exceed 2 storeys and clearly detail finished ground level and fencing (not to illustrated in a way to conceal building face).
Item – Floor Area

The POD notates “the maximum dwelling unit floor area 350m2 (including garage space) and one manager’s office 40m2)”.
The proposed dwelling in its current form achieves a total floor area of ~490m2 (including garage).
The dwelling house in its current form greatly exceeds the maximum GFA as per the POD.
Information Required
Reduce the dwelling’s total floor area to align with the predominant character within Noosa Dunes i.e., maximum dwelling unit floor area of 350m2 (including garage space).
Item – Landscaping Plan
Condition 10 of the Court Judgement requires a development application to accompanied by a properly prepared landscape plan prior to any clearing to be undertaken on the site.
Information Required
Provide a properly prepared landscape plan as per Condition 10 of the Court Judgement.
Item – Rooftop Terrace
The rooftop terrace is not considered to fulfil the Performance Outcome PO16 of The Low Density Residential Zone. The terrace is set forward approximately 4 metres of the adjoining outdoor terrace. Consequence of height constraints this part of the terrace cannot be suitably screened to mitigate amenity impacts. The rooftop terrace is to be reduced in size.
Information Required
Provide revised plans with a reduced rooftop terrace footprint, demonstrating compliance against the Performance Outcome.
Issue – Stormwater, Landslide
The submitted planning report, section 4.2, states that “Engineering plans are currently under development by an RPEQ for appropriate stormwater management and a site classification report for construction and operational phases. A condition can be included to ensure development is undertaken in accordance with both reports.”
Given the site constraints (landslide hazard, on-site infiltration of stormwater) Council considers that the engineering reports must be prepared and assessed prior to the issue of any planning approval as addressing the constraints may impact on the design of the development.
Information Required
Provide a site specific geotechnical investigation and report that is prepared by a suitably qualified Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland and includes but is not limited to:
An assessment of the current site conditions
Recommendations for the construction of the residence
Recommendations for measures to protect the stability of the adjoining properties
Recommendations for the collection and disposal of stormwater on site both during construction and the operational phase of the development.
Provide a site specific stormwater management plan for the proposed development. The SWMP must be prepared by a suitably qualified Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland and include but is not limited to:
Stormwater runoff collection both during the construction phase and the operational phase of the development
On site disposal of stormwater runoff that is consistent with the recommendations of the site specific geotechnical investigation and report
Issue – Driveway Grades
Limited detail has been provided in regard to the access driveway grades. Council has some concerns with the ability to construct the driveway as proposed and cater for the longitudinal grades of the common property road and provide a suitable transition to the carparking on site.
Information Required
Provide a preliminary design plan for the access driveway. The plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland and include but is not limited to:
Levels and grades of the existing common property road and the transitions to the residential driveway
A longitudinal section extending from the common property road to the garage floor including sufficient detail that demonstrates that a vehicle will not bottom out or scrape on the common property road or the driveway when entering and exiting the site.
Any necessary drainage grates to collect surface runoff
Issue – On-Street Parking
The proposed works include changes to and relocation of structures (on-street parking) and services (light) in the common property area. It is also noted that the driveway width in the common property area appears excessive.
Information Required
Provide written authority from the Body Corporate for any changes to the common property infrastructure.
Due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 30 September 2025. Email your response to [email protected]. 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.
