                                                                                                            2


Response
Similarly to the response to Item 1, Item 2 is also not necessary, considering the proposed stormwater
arrangement captures rainwater within a rainwater reuse tank, with the overflow connected to a rapid
infiltration pit via the internal drainage network. Furthermore, the body corporate approval provided
within the lodgement of the development application confirms the body corporate’s approval of the
design and engineering solutions proposed.

The common property is land subject to the development application, so for Council to require additional
consent from the body corporate, would contradict the purpose of owner’s consent for development
applications. As the common property is subject to this approval, no further consent or approval is
required.

        3.    Provide either an amended Slope Stability Assessment or an addendum to the submitted
              assessment that makes reference to the final stormwater design.

Response
In response to item 3, no changes to the Slope Stability Assessment were necessary. Notwithstanding, a
change to the Engineering Report has been made, to reflect the Slope Stability Assessment’s
recommendation of providing a stormwater drain along the southern side of the dwelling. Please find this
amended reporting attached.

        4.    Provide additional detail on the access driveway. The detail must include but not be limited to:
                a) Levels of the proposed access driveway and adjacent areas;
                b) Longitudinal section extending from the centerline of the common property road to the
                     proposed garaging. The section must demonstrate that vehicles will not scrape or
                     bottom out when entering or exiting the garaging;
                c) Sufficient detail to indicate where surface runoff will be directed.

Response
In response to item 4, no further details have been provided, considering:
    •        The proposed residential vehicle crossing has been designed in accordance with the IPWEA
             Standard Drawing No. RS-049 and RS-050 with interndal driveways and garage openings
             designed in accordance with AS/NZS2890.1, as confirmed within section 4 of the engineering
             report;
    •        All stormwater from the driveway will be conveyed toward the grated drain at the bottom of the
             driveway; and,
    •        No levels or sections are needed, as there is already the requirement to provide a grade
             consistent with the relevant standards and policies, as confirmed within the provided reporting.

In short, the proposed development is for a Detached House, and the extent of engineering reporting
provided is considered more than sufficient to satisfy Council’s concerns.

This response represents our complete response to the Information Request issued by the Noosa Shire
Council, and we look forward to the decision notice being issued by Council in accordance with the
relevant provisions of the Planning Act 2016.
