EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Engineering to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 10 May 2016 and refuse the application OPW15/0197.01 to change
the vehicle crossover situated at 6 Habitat Place Noosa heads as the requested driveway
formation is not in accordance with Council’s standard drawing.


REPORT
Background
The original application for Operational Works - Vehicle Crossover was received by Council on
14 October 2015. It is noted that the applicant was Suncity Homes and not the property owner.
The application sought approval for 2 crossovers to the property and the construction of the
crossovers with “grass cells” for those sections of the driveway located within the road reserve
(between the property boundary and the road formation).
A conditional approval was issued by Council on 13 November 2015. The approval granted the 2
crossovers but included conditions (2 & 13 refer below) and annotated plans that prohibited the
use of the “grass cells” for those sections of the driveway located within the road reserve
(between the property boundary and the road formation).
2.                       The surfacing of the proposed crossovers (ie the section of the driveway between the kerb
                         line and the front boundary) must consist of either an approved plain/patterned concrete or
                         hot mixed asphaltic concrete and must be generally in accordance with Standard Drawing
                         SEQ R-050. Grass-Cel Turf Paving is NOT an approved surfacing by Council for the
                         crossovers within the road reserve
13.                      Driveway crossovers must be constructed generally in accordance with council’s Standard
                         Drawing SEQ R-050 *.
                         (*) refer to Advisory Note.
Officers considered that the 2 crossovers were acceptable in this instance due to the lengthy
frontage of the site and the minimal effect on on-street parking.
