Response

        We are no longer proposing the location of water tanks within the rear easement as we were unable to gain
        the necessary approval from Unity Water. Please refer amended plans prepared by TLF Developments (Sheet
        1 of 8) where it is proposed to locate within the disabled parking set down space an underground water tank
        designed to specification required by an hydraulic engineer.


Issue - Vehicle manoeuvring

Information Required

        3.   Provide an amended layout that locates the loading bays such that the site can function when the bays
             are occupied. It is suggested that any car spaces that will be impeded must be dedicated to “staff”.

Response

        Please refer amended Plans prepared by TLF Developments Pty Ltd (Sheet 3 of 8) which includes the
        identification of staff carparking spaces and relocation of loading bays.


Issue – Carparking Spaces

Information Required

        4.   Provide an amended layout that includes dimensions for the car spaces and access aisles.

Response

        Please refer to the enclosed revised carparking plan (Sheet 3) prepared by TLF Developments Pty Ltd which
        includes the dimensions of the carparking spaces and access aisles.


Issue – Carparking Spaces

Information Required

        5.   Provide an amended layout that provides the necessary queuing length as described in the relevant
             Australian Standard (AS/NZS2890.1:2004) or alternatively provide comment from a suitably qualified
             person (RPEQ) that states that the queuing length provided is safe for the intended use. It is suggested
             that, in order to reduce the amount of movements for the spaces closest to the street frontage, these
             spaces be dedicated as “staff”.

Response

        Please refer to the enclosed letter from Mr Gavin Evans of Empire Engineering dated 11th August 2017
        regarding the proposed carparking arrangement. .

Issue – Building Height

Information Required

         6.   Elevation plans of the development which confirms the building height and Site Plan to detail front
              setbacks.
Response

         Please refer to the revised Site Plan (Sheet 1) and Elevation Plans (Sheet 7) prepared by TLF Developments
         Pty Ltd which identify the building height and setback.



Issue – Bin Enclosure

Information Required

         7.   Re-location of the bin enclosure and wash area so that it is at least 2.0 metres from the front boundary.

Response

         The bin enclosure and wash area has been relocated to the rear of the carparking spaces. Parked vehicles
         and the extensive landscaping located within the centre garden will mask the bin enclose from the street.
         Refer to Sheet 1 of the revised plans prepared by TLF Developments Pty Ltd.



Issue - External Finishes

Information Required

         8.   Amended elevation plans which provide design solutions to enhance the buildings appearance.

Response

         Included within the revised plans additional self-supporting awnings have been added to the front façade
         facing the street (Units 5-8). These additional awnings along with the balconies add vertical architectural
         elements to the building.

         The revised plans as prepared by TLF Developments Pty Ltd present a modern building which is reflective of
         the surrounding built form within the Noosaville Industrial Estate as evidenced in Photograph 1 below of the
         adjoining property (18 Venture Drive, Noosaville).
