Planning Act 2016
I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No.	OPW22/0299
Street Address:	10 Natasha Ave Noosa Heads Qld 4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 2 RP 122891, Lot 135 RP 92518
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue
There is insufficient detail provided in regard to earthworks to fully assess the application.
Drawing number 21617-C100 revision A makes reference to retaining walls being located on structural engineering drawings for the buildings. No drawings have been provided. It is considered that the retaining structures and the protection of the adjoining properties is an essential part of the earthworks.
Information Required
Provide a legend on drawing number 21617-C100 revision A that clearly indicates the meaning of the various colours
Provide the relevant engineering plans that indicate retaining walls and associated structures.
Provide a construction methodology for the installation of the retaining structures and the protection of the adjoining properties.
Please note that all retaining structures and associated anchors, both above and below ground, both temporary and permanent, must be wholly contained with the subject site unless written consent from the adjoining owner is provided to Council.
Issue
There is insufficient detail provided in regard to stormwater to fully assess the application.
The bioretention plan does not include any dimensions or any detail on inlet scour protection, the extent of batters etc.
The calculations on drawing number 21617-C301 Revision A are described as “preliminary”.
The design has the drainage system discharging via a 375mm RCP and connecting to Council’s system. Council’s mapping system indicates that the Council drainage line at this point and downstream of the site is 300mm diameter.
Please note that the response to the stormwater items in this information request may create additional questions during the assessment.
Information Required
Provide complete plans for the design of the stormwater drainage system. The plans must contain sufficient information to fully assess the application and be suitable for construction.
Provide additional comment on the potential impacts on the capacity of the Council drainage system and where necessary provide a design that ensures that the impacts are negligible.
Issue
External works.
Council has concerns with the proposed grades for the verge areas in Katharina Street. The grades shown appear to be excessive (25%, 32%, 37%, 45%). There is specific concern with the 25% between the edge of the path and the top of the kerb. It is considered that this grade in this location creates a trip/fall hazard.
The submitted plans indicate that the works will require alterations to the existing third party services but no comments/approvals from the service authorities have been provided.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that reduce the grades and fall risks within the road reserve and/or provide additional comment that demonstrates that the proposed works do not create an unsafe environment for pedestrians in the road reserve
Indicate on the plans the full extent of the works to transition to the adjoining frontages
Provide comments/approvals from the service authorities that indicate that they are in support of the proposed works.
Issue
The applicant has not addressed the relevant conditions of the higher order approval (MCU21/0231) that must be complied with prior to the issue of any Operational Works approval
Information Required
Provide evidence to demonstrate that the titles have been amalgamated as described in Condition 5
Submit to Council the bond as described in Condition 8
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 30 March 2023. 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.
