application details
Application No.	MCU20/0074
Street Address:	33 Tewantin Rd Cooroy Qld 4563
Real Property Description:	Lot 107 C 5604
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (31 July 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue – garaging and driveway
The driveway and access to garaging results in a large expanse of hard stand area fronting Olivine Lane, which is a dominant feature fronting the street. This is particularly relevant where the dwelling is set on the high side of the Olivine Lane.
The dwelling proposes 4 car accommodation side by side which presents as a line of garage doors to the street, behind a large expanse of driveway and access area to the garaging.  The entry point and garden in between does not achieve enough ‘break up’ of this wall and large hard stand area facing the street.
In this regard, is considered that the proposal does not comply with Acceptable outcomes AO15.2 & AO15.3 and corresponding Performance Outcome PO15 and Performance Outcome PO14 e) of the Medium Density Residential Code.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that address Acceptable outcomes AO15.2 & AO15.3 and Performance Outcome PO14 e) of the Medium Density Residential Code.

Issue - Titling
It is not known what the arrangement is with regard to exclusive use/common areas and the relationship to each of the dwellings.
Information Required
Provide information/plans with regards to future arrangements, which include identification of common property areas and relevant infrastructure and or services required to service the development.

Issue – Laneway dedication
Noosa Plan support the use of lanes provided that necessary improvements to the lane are provided. The site fronts Olivine Lane (as well as Tewantin Road).  Two proposed dwellings will require access from Olivine Lane. Performance Outcome PO17 of the Cooroy Local Plan Code requires the widening and upgrading of laneways in Cooroy. The requirement is for the dedication of land, 2 metres wide along the lane frontage and the construction of suitable frontage works. The submitted documentation does not indicate the necessary dedication and/or works.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that indicate the required 2m road dedication along the Olivine Lane frontage. Please note a reduced setback to the new boundary of 4 metres in considered acceptable in this instance provided all other items in this letter are addressed.
Provide preliminary engineering plans for the following works in Olivine Lane:
Widening of the existing Olivine Lane formation with seal and kerb & channel to match the alignment of the new pavement and kerb line east to the site (ie along the adjoining No 14 Olivine Lane).  The works must be designed in accordance with Council standards and the specific site requirements.
Transitions at either end to smoothly match with the existing formation, kerb line and grades.
Conveyance of stormwater runoff longitudinally along the lane without adversely affecting adjoining or opposing properties.
Any required alteration and upgrade to existing stormwater pits and services as may be necessary to match the new roadworks.
Connection of existing and new stormwater drainage systems to the new roadworks.
Vehicle crossovers in accordance with Council’s requirements.

Issue – Driveway Profile
Further details are required regarding the proposed access driveway from Olivine Lane.
Information Required
Provide a longitudinal section of the access driveway extending from the centreline of the existing formation of Olivine Lane and including the required road widening and kerb line. The longitudinal section must demonstrate that vehicles will not bottom out or scrap (the driveway and road pavement) when entering or exiting the site and be in accordance with AS/NZS2890.1 for a B99 vehicle.

Issue - Sewer Connection
Council has concerns that due to the slope of the land and the depth of the sewer main, the proposed dwelling facing Olivine lane may not be able to suitably connect and drain to the existing sewer main. Any change required to the floor level may impact on the proposal and upon Council’s assessment of the development.
Information Required
Provide details of the alignment and levels of the existing sewer main on the site, and a written confirmation from Unitywater that states that the proposed floor level is sufficient to provide fall to connect to the existing sewer main.

Issue – Landscaping
Acceptable Outcome AO10.1 of the Dual occupancy and Multiple Dwellings Code requires a minimum of 40% of the site area is landscaped which includes 60% of this area to be soft landscaping. It is not known if any existing trees on the site are to be retained.
Information Required
Submit a landscape concept plan which addresses Acceptable Outcome AO10.1.
Provide details around location and type of any existing trees proposed to be removed to facilitate the development.
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 26 November 2020. 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.
