Development Assessment Report

Project Urban – 15228                                                                              June 2016




5.0 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
5.1 RECONFIGURATION PROPOSAL PLAN
A Reconfiguration Proposal Plan prepared by Project Urban is attached. The plan demonstrates a suitable
lot layout for the site, including retention of the existing house, shows the alignment of the proposed road
extension, including pathway connection to the adjoining land to the west and provides for the protection
of riparian buffer vegetation along the eastern boundary of the site.

The proposed lot layout complies with the minimum lot size specified by Table 14-68 of the Reconfiguring
a Lot code.

5.2 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Empire Engineering is attached. This report outlines a total
water cycle strategy to be adopted in the construction and operational works phase of the development
and demonstrates that an appropriate stormwater outcome can be achieved in accordance with Council
and state requirements.

5.3 TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ADVICE
Traffic Engineering Advice prepared by Pekol Traffic and Transport (PTT) is attached. The advice found that
the additional traffic generated by the 10 new lots would result in the total catchment of Elkhorn Drive
remaining well below its recommended traffic capacity. The advice also found that the additional traffic
movements generated by the proposed development would have a negligible impact on safety, amenity
and convenience. PTT also found that the development would result in an improvement to the existing
situation by providing a turnaround facility allowing local traffic and waste collection vehicles to turn
around safely at the end of Elkhorn Drive.

The Traffic Engineering Advice concludes that the proposed residential subdivision provides an improved
arrangement over the existing situation in terms of accessibility and would have a negligible impact on
safety, amenity and convenience.

5.4 BUSHFIRE RISK ASSESSMENT
A Bushfire Hazard Assessment & Management Plan prepared by North Coast Environmental is attached.
The report has been prepared to assess and reduce the degree of potential bushfire hazard on the site and
proposed development. The report includes numerous bushfire reduction measures to assist in the
protection of people and property during a bushfire emergency. The report finds that overall the proposed
reconfiguration, in combination with recommendations referenced herein, is deemed suitable for the site
with respect to providing a reasonable level of protection for people and property on the site and that the
development is considered compliant with the provisions of the Noosa Plan Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.
