2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

SC6.7 ­ PSP6              Engineering Design Standards
SC6.7.1             Purpose

(1)   The purpose of this planning scheme policy is to:
      (a)   Provide information that Council may request in the process of assessing the development application;
      (b)   Direct engineers, designers and developers to the technical documents and Australian Standards that will ensure new
            development infrastructure is appropriately designed and constructed and meets the look and feel styling of Noosa; and
      (c)   Provide acceptable outcomes for development within the road reserve.

(2)   All civil works within the road reserve and associated with the development requires a Council Operational Works permit.
(3)   Deviations from or modifications to the design standards outlined in this policy may be acceptable, however it is the responsibility
      of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposal meets the performance outcomes of the applicable code.
(4)   The key to maintaining the unique character of Noosa is adapting to future needs in a way that recognises the values that have
      made Noosa unique. The publication ‘Noosa Design Principles – How Noosa has been Shaped’ aims to inform and inspire
      designers to innovate and test ideas against simple principles.


SC6.7.2             Application of the Policy

(1)   The design standards referred to in this policy apply to development that requires but is not limited to the following:
      (a)   Earthworks – cut and fill – filling of land
      (b)   New roads or widening of existing roads including associated earthworks
      (c)   Stormwater Drainage – underground or open drainage
      (d)   Upgrades to existing roads, stormwater and associated infrastructure that are reasonable and relevant to the expected
            impact of the proposed development
      (e)   Street lighting and the installation of utility services
      (f)   Footpaths and infrastructure for pedestrian and cyclists
      (g)   Access to accommodate the largest service vehicle to the site
      (h)   Parking – on street and off street
      (i)   Signage and line marking
      (j)   Landscaping and/or streetscape works and associated infrastructure
      (k)   Bus stop infrastructure

(2)   The design standards identified in the ‘desired level of service’ for each road classification may need modification or
      augmentation to suit the design requirements of streetscape centres and will also need to include freight, public transport and
      bicycle networks.
(3)   All civil works must be planned, designed and constructed in accordance with the current edition of the standards and technical
      documents outlined in ‘Document Precedence’. When conflict occurs between the standards outlined in the documents, the
      hierarchy in ‘Document Precedence’ applies. The document listed first prevails over the others in descending order.
      (a)   Document Precedence:
            (i)     Council Policies, Planning Scheme, Guidelines and Standard Drawings
            (ii)    Austroads ­ Guide to Road Design – examples of often used parts
                    (A)   Part 3 ­ Geometric Design
                    (B)   Part 4 – Intersections and Crossings General
                    (C)   Part 4A – Un­signalised and Signalised Intersections
                    (D)   Part 4B – Roundabouts
                    (E)   Part 6A – Paths for Walking and Cycling
                    (F)   Design Vehicles and Turning Path Templates

            (iii)   Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia – Queensland
                    (A)   Standard Drawings (Addendums refer for Noosa)
