RE:    PERMISSIBLE CHANGE TO DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL_____________________________
Permissible Change to 23643DA Detached House for an Unroofed Deck and Retaining Wall within
Front Road Boundary Setback over Land described as Lot 54 on RP52918 and located at 12 Park
Road Noosa Heads
                               st
I refer to Councils email of 1 June 2016 advising that further information was required in relation to the
above application. In response to the issues raised in the email my client wishes to respond as follows:


  Issue – setback
  The zero boundary alignment is not supported as:
        • it does not allow for vegetation within the property to screen the proposal or onsite
        vegetation to maintain stability
        • the upturn and slab (approx. 720mm) is likely to be seen from opposite the site particularly
        given the height above the NGL (up to around 4.5m above NGL)

  Information required
  1.       Please provide an amended plan with the deck setback from the boundary. Council would
  look favourably at a 2m setback.

Applicant’s response:

The applicant wishes to proceed with the unroofed deck located along the front property boundary. The
applicant has also amended the plan and increased the length of the new grassed area northwards into
the easement area. Refer Attachment A. The revised plans include substantial landscaping across the
site and frontage that will screen the structure from the surrounding area.

  Issue – Existing trees onsite
  It is unclear what vegetation will be removed and retained for the proposal. The submitted existing
  trees plan is not sufficient.

  Information required
  2.       Provide a survey of the existing trees within the site and in the road reserve and the
  relationship (distance from etc.) with the proposal. The proposal could be overlayed on the tree
  survey plan.

Applicant’s response:

A survey plan detailing the existing trees on site and within the road reserve is included in Attachment B.
Proposal plans included in Attachment A include the new survey data. It is reiterated that most of the
vegetation on site has been planted by the applicant and that the Chamaedorea to be removed are not
native to the area.



  Issue – Engineering design
  The provided geo-tech report seeks measures to ensure stability during and after construction.

  Information required
  3.      Provide a preliminary engineering design incorporating the recommendations of the geo-tech
  report.

Applicant’s response:

Please refer to Attachment C which provides an engineering design for the design proposed works.



  Issue – Construction
  The dwelling onsite was required to be constructed via an easement from Allambi Rise and not from
  Park Road. No information on construction methods or logistics of construction has been submitted.

  Information required
  4.      Please provide a preliminary construction management plan for the proposal. The plan should
  include but not be limited to the following
  •       construction methods (without damage to road reserve vegetation) and retaining slope stability
  •       traffic control
  •       Material delivery including concrete
  •       Contractor parking arrangements
Applicant’s response:

Please refer to Attachment D which provides a Construction Management Plan for the proposed works.



  Issue – landscaping
  Subject to item 1, the submitted landscaping plan is not sufficient.

  Information required
  5.      Please provide a landscaping plan with plantings between the deck and the boundary in
  accordance with PSP3.
  6.      The landscaping plan should include suitable shade species required by the geo-tech report
  for under deck planting.


Applicant’s response:

Please refer to Attachment A which provides a revised landscape plan
