Letter to Noosa Council - 20 Mitti Street Final_ · RAL20/0005

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




O17: The proposed infrastructure to service the additional lot can be designed to maintain effective
function during and immediately after a storm event.

Earthworks and stormwater management
O19: Stormwater runoff from the proposed development is not an issue given no further building
work is being proposed on the land.

O20: It is proposed to provide an open channel area in accordance with Option 1 (Attachment 4),
which will not adversely impact stormwater flows on neighbouring properties or the natural
environmental values. While the proposed works will impact upon the existing drainage line, the
subject land is not mapped as containing protected vegetation under the Biodiversity Overlay (Map
OM6.1). Further, the proposed works will not affect water levels on neighbouring properties.

Landscaping and visual amenity:
O21, O22 & O23: The proposed development responds to the distinctive landscape character with
the existing built form being integrated within the natural setting and features on the site. The
development will not result in the removal of any significant trees or vegetation that would impact
upon the visual amenity of surrounding areas. While an open channel is being constructed within the
existing drainage line, this is in response to flooding impacts, which is supported by the Council. In
any event, there is adequate area remaining onsite for a significant amount of landscaping to be
provided and maintained.

Access Easements:
O32: It is proposed to provide a services and access easement over Lot 2 in favour of Lot 1. The
easement is in an appropriate location, will provide safe access and egress and has sufficient width to
service both allotments. Further, it is understood that there is an agreement in place for the sharing
of maintenance of the footpath crossover, which also serves the existing development at 22 Mitti
Street.

Traffic:
O33: The traffic generated by the proposed development will have a negligible impact upon the
external road network.

In summary, the proposed development meets the relevant overall outcomes and the purpose of the
Reconfiguring a Lot Code. Further, the proposed development either complies with or meets the
intent of the specific outcomes under Table 14-66. In my opinion, if there is any inconsistency with
the Reconfiguring a Lot Code, it is of a technical nature only.

Natural Hazards Overlay Code

The subject land is designated a Landslide Hazard Area under the Natural Hazard Overlay Map
(OM6.3). Pursuant to Table 13.7, building work for a Detached House is excepted, with this matter
