GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                  15 JANUARY 2018


Road Connectivity
A new road is proposed to connect to future development at the adjacent 20
Eagle Drive (Lot 6 RP149498), ultimately connecting Elkhorn Drive with Eagle Drive. The
resultant connectivity will provide for a continuous route between Elkhorn Drive and Eagle Drive.
This new route will also provide an improved outcome for residents and for services and
emergency vehicles.
However, should the adjoining property not develop at the same time there is no provision
proposed for vehicles, specifically Council’s waste collection vehicle, to turn around. In order to
provide an interim turn-around area amendments are required to the layout.
4.      CONSULTATION
4.1. Referral Agencies
No referral to IDAS Referral Agencies were required.
4.2. Other Referrals
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers:
      Engineering, Development Assessment
      Ecologist, Development Assessment
The application was also assessed by an external stormwater consultant on behalf of Council.
Their assessment forms part of this report.
5.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposal is generally compliant with the relevant sections of The Noosa Plan and is situated
in an existing residential area with close proximity to the Tewantin town centre. The lot layout is
generally sensitive to the environmental values on site and subject to some conditions is
responsive to the infrastructure required to service the development.
The request to issue a Preliminary Approval for the proposal is therefore supported.
