Dear Sir/Madam

Planning Act 2016
I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No.	MCU18/0206
Street Address:	49 Seaview Tce Sunshine Beach Qld 4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 88 RP 81810
Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (8 June 2018)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue - Setbacks
The proposal seeks setback dispensation to the corner and eastern frontage of the site. The existing vegetation within the site and within the road reserve would screen the development from the street. There is no indication of what vegetation will be retained.
Information Required
Please provide a site plan which:
identifies vegetation to be retained;
overlay’s the surveyed features such mature trees to be retained/removed and the garden edge;
overlay the existing dwelling and;
Provide confirmation that trees in the road reserve will be retained. It appears that the tree north of the existing driveway is proposed to be removed. This tree should be identified and an alternate driveway location should be sort as the tree provides screening to offset the reduced setback.
Issue – Building Height
The proposal seeks a building height greater than 8m above the finished and natural ground level. It is considered the proposed height does not meet the Detached House Codes Specific Outcome O10.
Information Required
Please provide amended plans reducing the building height to 8m or less. This includes balustrading to the roof terrace.
Please provide a plan with roof RL’s and the corresponding ground level RL directly below to confirm compliance. Alternatively a plan with a 3D height blanket.
Issue – Roof terrace
The Detached House Code seeks that roof top terraces:
do not create opportunities for residents to overlook the private open space areas of neighbouring properties.
There is concern that the roof terrace will create overlooking of the neighbouring private open spaces as views lines from the proposed roof terrace provided are inadequate. View lines have not been provided towards the 3 neighbouring properties (47 & 52 Seaview Tce and 1 Mcanally Dr).
Information Required
Please provide view lines from the roof terrace toward the 3 neighbouring buildings (showing neighbouring dwelling private open space) and any potential affected properties across Seaview Terrace. No overlooking of the surrounding open spaces will be supported.
Issue - Driveway
The submitted material has limited detail on the proposed driveway. The plans indicate a retaining wall in the road reserve which is unlikely to be supported by Council and the proposed location will impact on existing vegetation in the road reserve.
Information Required
Provide additional detail on the proposed driveway. The detail must include plans for the driveway that:
are generally in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawings RS-049 and RS-050 and any relevant addendums,
include existing and proposed levels,
a longitudinal section extending from the centreline of the existing formation of Seaview Terrace to the garage floor. The section must demonstrate that vehicles will not scrap when entering and exiting from the site
works required to either side of the driveway to smoothly transition to the existing surface levels. Please note that Council is unlikely to support retaining structures in the road reserve,
sight lines/distances and the impact upon the existing vegetation in the road reserve to provide the sight lines/distances
Issue - Geotechnical
The subject site is mapped in the Noosa Plan as being in a Landslide Hazard area. The submitted material includes the comment “a site specific geotechnical report is to be provided prior to the assessment of the building application”. Council requires the report to be submitted as part of the current application to determine if the risks to the subject site and the adjoining properties have been addressed.
Information Required
Provide a site specific geotechnical report for the proposed development. The report must include recommendations in regard to earthworks and footing design to ensure the long term stability (minimum factor of safety against landslip of 1.5) of the subject site and the long term stability of the adjoining structures and/or services and/or lands.
Issue – Stormwater
The submitted material does not include any detail on the proposed stormwater system. Council has concerns that providing a connection to Council’s system (kerb and channel) may impact on the existing vegetation in the road reserve.
Information required
Provide a preliminary design of the stormwater drainage system. The design must include but not be limited to:
the catchment from the various roof and hard stand areas;
the discharge point to Council’s system;
any vegetation in the road reserve that may be effected by the works.
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 25 April 2019. 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.
