Planning Act 2016

application details
Application No.	OPW22/0106
Street Address:	31 Mcanally Dr Sunshine Beach Qld 4567
Real Property Description:	Lot 111 RP 81810
Planning Scheme:	Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue
A site inspection indicates that the construction of the proposed driveway will require the removal of a number of mature and well established trees from the road reserve.
Information Required
Submit an arborist report providing details of all the trees in the vicinity of the proposed driveway’s location. The report must be prepared by a suitably qualified person and include, but not be limited to:
species, size, age and health of each of the trees;
extent of required vegetation clearing;
trees proposed to be removed;
trees proposed to be retained and a construction method plan to ensure their health; and
if significant vegetation is to be removed from the road reserve, propose street tree replacement planting.

Please be advised that council is unlikely to approve the removal of significant vegetation on road reserve.
Issue
The submitted documentation indicates that the proposed driveway will require minor earthworks (cut) within the road reserve. Council have concerns regarding the impact the cut will have on the natural surface and the potential creation of trip hazards within the road reserve.
Information Required
Provide an amended plan that demonstrates how trip hazards will be eliminated within the road reserve as a result of the proposed cut. Please note that council is unlikely to support private retaining structures within the road reserve. The amended plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
the full extent of the transition to the adjoining areas of verge
Issue
The submitted plans do not include sufficient information on the access driveway and manoeuvring area.
Information Required
Provide additional detail on the access driveway and manoeuvring area. The detail must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
levels and grades of the access driveway and manoeuvring area;
dimensions of the driveway;
a design generally in accordance with RS-049 and RS-050; and
clarify if the existing driveway will be demolished or incorporated into the proposed design.
Issue
The provided documentation does not include a stormwater diversion grate at the base of the driveway and garage pad. Council is concerned that the stormwater collected from the driveway will pool at the bottom of the driveway and create potential flooding within the garage.
Information Required
Provide an amended plan that demonstrates how hardstand generated by the driveway will be diverted to avoid potential flooding/pooling in the garage. The detail must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland).
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 3 August 2022. Email your response to [email protected]. 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.
