Dear Marcus,
Information Request
Planning Act 2016
I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily
assess the proposal.
1. APPLICATION DETAILS
Application No. RAL26/0018
Proposal: Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot - 1 Lot into 5 Lots
Street Address: 220 Black Mountain Range Rd Black Mountain Qld 4563
Real Property Description: Lot 3 SP 258991
Planning Scheme: Noosa Plan 2020 (Amendment 3 - 20 March 2026)
2. INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue – Vegetation Clearing for Sight Lines
MODUS’ Traffic Engineering Letter dated 5 June 2026 proposes to remove roadside
vegetation to achieve the required sight distance. The extent of vegetation clearing required
to achieve compliant sight lines is not clear based on the sketches provided in Appendix B.
Council is seeking clarity regarding the extent of vegetation clearing to achieve compliant sight
distances and to understand/assess the future maintenance obligation that will be placed onto
Council.
Information Required

1. Provide a vegetation/tree survey and associated plan prepared by a suitably qualified
person that identifies all trees and vegetation within the proposed sight distance
corridors, including vegetation proposed to be retained, trimmed, slashed, pruned or
removed.
2. Provide details of any ongoing vegetation maintenance required to maintain safe sight
distances, including the nature, extent and frequency of works. This information is
required to enable Council to assess both the immediate and ongoing impacts of the
proposed development on roadside vegetation.
Issue – Adopted Longitudinal Road Grades
It’s unclear how the longitudinal grades used in MODUS’ Stopping Sight Distances have been
calculated.
Information Required
3. Provide additional detail validating the longitudinal grades at each approach to the
proposed driveway crossovers.
Item – Scenic Amenity and Visibility of Future Dwellings
The proposed subdivision nominates future house site areas on elevated parts of the land.
Council is still concerned that future dwelling houses and earthworks on the proposed lots
may be visually prominent when viewed from areas such as Black Mountain Range Road the
Bruce Highway corridor and surrounding rural residential land.
In particular, future building applications will not require further consideration against PO11
and AO11 of the Rural Residential Zone Code, which seek to ensure the landscape character
and visual amenity quality of hillslopes and ridgelines are retained.
Information Required
4. Provide or suggest mitigation methods as to how the visibility of future dwelling houses,
earthworks and ancillary structures on each proposed sits within the landscape and
does not dominate hillslopes or ridgelines and protects the scenic amenity and rural
residential character of the locality as required under PO11 and AO11 of the Rural
Residential Zone Code.
3. DUE DATE FOR RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST
The due date for providing the requested information is 30 October 2026.
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.
