               2.     SITE DETAILS
               2.1. Background
               The proposed works sets out to address the conditions of the higher order approval: RAP22/0012.
               2.2. Site Description
               The subject site is an undeveloped site. The site grades away from David Low Way and
               experiences a level change of approximately -9 metres from between the road frontage to the rear
               property boundary (over ~30 metres). The site has limited sight distances, both longitudinally and
               laterally, due to the location of the site relative to David Low Way.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               The proposed development includes the construction of a driveway crossover and landscaping
               works. The proposed development was largely assessed as part of the higher order approval
               (RAP22/0012). Engineering raised concerns relating to the protection of neighbouring properties
               (including Council’s Road Reserve), any existing infrastructure in these properties and the public
               (pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) during construction. It is considered that these concerns can be
               reasonably overcome as part of an Amended Construction Management Plan as conditioned.
               Sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the relevant codes and
               standards. Engineering recommends the following conditions.
               Driveway Crossover
               The proposed driveway crossover has been designed by an RPEQ and in accordance with a Traffic
               Impact Assessment. Engineering recognise that the site is constrained due to the natural
               topography of the site and by David Low Way. Certification has been provided that the proposed
               location of the driveway crossover has the least impact on the local road network, achieves the
               most sight distance and serves as a functional/safe vehicular access to the subject site.
               Landscaping
               The proposed vegetation removal is necessary to accommodate the construction of the dwelling &
               driveway crossover. A proposed Rehabilitation Plan has been provided as part of the application
               material and assessed by Council’s Senior Environmental Officer.
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020.
               3.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Driveways and Parking Code;
               •      Landscaping Code;
               •      Transport Code; and
               •      Earthworks Code.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments.
