                             Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Service Station, Shop and associated
                                                                        Operational Works for an advertising device




The subject site itself has a landscape area which comprises a total area of 296m2, representing approximately
15% of the site area as required by the Landscaping Code for development within the Industry Zone.
Landscaping on site is concentrated to either side of the front crossovers, whilst also provided along the full
extent of the rear boundary. To make the most of the extensive verge width afforded to the site, the proposed
landscaping also extends to the verge area, with new turf proposed. Low maintenance native vegetation has
been utilised in the landscaping on-site. The proposed landscaping compliments the existing environment and
is compliant with the Landscape Design Policy.
A Concept Landscape Plan has been prepared by Element Design Landscape Architecture and is included
within Appendix E.


4.7          Civil services
The site is currently adequately serviced by reticulated water, sewerage, stormwater infrastructure,
telecommunications and electricity. The proposed development will able to connect to electricity,
telecommunications and to the reticulated water and sewerage network as required.
Please refer to the Civil Engineering Report which has been prepared by ADG Engineers, provided in
Appendix F.


4.8          Stormwater management
Please refer to the Stormwater Quality Assessment within Civil Engineering Report in Appendix F to see that
the stormwater runoff from the buildings and hardstand areas will be collected, treated and discharged in
accordance with the Noosa Plan 2006 planning codes and policies.
The report details the subject site will be able to discharge stormwater to the existing legal point of discharge
within EMT B on RP154227 adjacent to the subject site.

For the stormwater quantity assessment, ADG has determined that the increase to impervious area is
negligible due to the existing site development and as well as the increase to discharged peak flow rates. As
such, no on-site detention measures will be required for this development.
The quality assessment includes a summary of the Water Sensitive Urban Design features included in the
design. Due to the greater probability of oil and petroleum spillage within the site special precautions will be
taken to ensure integrity of the surrounding environment and downstream stormwater catchment. The site has
been divided into two (2) catchments, a high-risk area and a low-risk area. A Gross Pollutant Trap (GPT)
(SPEL Ecoceptor or approved equivalent) will be installed prior to the site’s discharge to remove oils and grits
commonly encountered on surfaces trafficked by motor vehicles.
A SPEL Puraceptor unit or approved equivalent is proposed to treat runoff from the high-risk area before
returning filtered run-off to the low risk drainage system for further treatment.
Please refer to the Civil Engineering Report prepared by ADG in Appendix F for further details.
