 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




    d) the existing extension to the dwelling has been sited, designed and constructed to minimise
       the risk from stormwater flow and localised flooding, in accordance with the requirements of
       the Building Works Code;
    e) the proposed development will not have any impact upon water quality with limited works for
       the provision of services being required;
    f) the proposed development does not require further building work however operational works
       is proposed for the raising of the existing driveway and access and for the construction of the
       open channel area. The proposed works will not have a significant impact upon natural
       environmental values, including native vegetation;
    g) … ;
    h) minimal earthworks are required to minimise the risk of flooding onsite with no further
       building works being intended, other than for the elevated walkway, which does not require
       earthworks;
    i) the private open space areas within the proposed allotments are to be landscaped and
       maintained; and
    j) convenient vehicle access, onsite manoeuvring and parking is provided for both dwellings on
       the proposed allotments.

Having regard to the above, the proposed development complies with specific outcome O1. In my
opinion, if there is any inconsistency with this provision, in particular (b) above, the level of
inconsistency is of a technical nature only.

Lot Layout:
O4 Subdivision of land for residential development provides for a neighbourhood with a strong and
positive identity. To the extent relevant, the proposed development does not offend any of the specific
outcomes and is entirely consistent with the nature and character of the locality and will not result in
any unacceptable town planning consequences.

O5: While the extension to the dwelling on Lot 1 is not located 50m from the Noosa National Park,
the extension exists and no further building work is proposed other than for the elevated walkway
which is removed from the boundary adjoining the Noosa National Park and is minor building works.
Further, the development has no impact upon the environmental values and is not at risk from bushfire
according to the overlay mapping under the planning scheme and the State Planning Policy 2017
(SPP).

O6: The proposed development is for residential purposes and provides for a variety of allotments
sizes in keeping with the existing density, character and amenity of the area.

Infrastructure:
O15: Each of the proposed lots is capable of being serviced by appropriate levels of infrastructure,
including water supply, reticulated sewerage, power supply and telecommunications, which are
available to the subject land. The matter of stormwater drainage is not relevant given that each
dwelling as constructed drains by overland flow to the drainage line.
