10/08/2019          Adapt Planning Mail - RE: Request for OPW Fee Reduction, 34-36 Allambi Tce Noosa Heads, Driveway and Minor Filling Works



    Further to our correspondence below, I would like to request an operational works application fee reduction.



    The proposed operational works involve:



         1. Backfilling an approved retaining wall and fence (approved under RAB18/0238) with 35m3 of clean soil. Refer
             a ached plan showing the area of fill.
         2. Driveway width exceeding 4.5m between kerb and property boundary. The proposed driveway is 5m with
             splays out to 7m at the kerb. Refer a ached plan showing proposed driveway. Please note that this is a
             double block with a single driveway.


    We request a fee reduction for the 35m3 of filling behind the approved retaining walls and fencing. We ask for a single
    fee of $525.00 apply to the proposed driveway and minor earthworks.



    The approved retaining walls are all less than 1m.



    At $125 per hour, this allows for 4.2 hours of work for this OPW application.



    Could you please review and confirm acceptance of this fee reduction request.



    Thanks & Kind Regards,


    Liam Pinese
    Director / Principal Town Planner

       Liam, in regard to your items below I would like to provide the following comments:
       Item 1 – driveway. You are correct in that the driveway will require an op works approval

       Item 2 – filling. The volume of fill is the item that needs to be determined. If it is less than 10m³ it may
       be “accepted development” but from what I can determine from the plan it is more than 10m³ and
       therefore an op works is required. It is possible to combine the driveway and the filling into one
       application and there is also the opportunity to request a reduced fee. Please note that any request to
       reduce the fee will be decided by management.

       Hi Antoinette,



       Hope you had a good weekend.

       I lodged an application for a RAP last year for a dwelling house on the above site.



       The planning department determined that is was a RAB so an amended form was lodged for the building team.



       The approval for RAB was approved by Council 7th June 2019. Copy attached for your reference. Building
       approval was given by a private certifier and works are underway.



       There are a couple of outstanding issues relating to recreation court filling, driveway width and southern neighbour
       fencing that are required to be resolved asap as construction is underway. Refer below each of the unresolved
       items:



             1. The building approval from the private certifier didn't include the proposed driveway (due to its width
                exceeding 6m) so a separate OPW will be sought prior to construction of the driveway. The building
                approval was given on the assumption that the driveway would meet Council standards. It will ultimately be
                slightly wider so OPW approval is needed from the Council.
             2. The building approval didn't include filling behind the recreation court retaining walls and fencing (approved
                under RAB) as the private certifier believes that OPW or RAP approval would be needed for filling due to
                S2.3 of the Detached House Code.
             3. The southern neighbour has requested that the fencing height is increased. We will seek an increase in
                fence height of 600mmm to the southern neighbour. This will be accompanied by letters of support and
                revised plans and lodged with the building department.



       Moving forward I can easily lodge an OPW to deal with Item 1. I can also easily complete an amendment under
       Item 3 via as a minor change to the RAB18/0238.



       Could the Council planning team please confirm what is required to overcome Item 2? The building works for
       boundary wall and fence have been approved under RAB18/0238. The retaining in less than 1m. As construction is
       underway I am keen to wrap up Item 2 asap. Our private certifier would be satisfied with an email from Council
       confirming that OPW / RAP is not needed in this instance.



       Let me know if you have any questions at all.



       Kind Regards,


       Liam Pinese
       Director / Principal Town Planner
