                                                     Architects.

                           Amendments         The plans and elevations are required to be amended to confirm
                                              and potentially reduce the gross floor area of the proposed
                                              development to comply with Council’s maximum plot ratio of
                                              0.4:1 for development within the Medium Density Residential
                                              zone (PO13 of Noosa Plan 2020). The plot ratio calculation is
                                              assessed over the 792m² site area (Lots 0, 1 & 2 on SP269260).
                                              It is Council’s view that existing and proposed development is an
                                              over development and exceeds plot ratio permitted under PO13
                                              of the Medium Density residential zone code.

                 2.     The development must be undertaken and operated in a manner that causes no
                        detrimental effect upon the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of the creation of
                        excessive noise, lighting nuisance or other emissions.
                 3.     The developer must obtain all of the other Development Permits referred to in the
                        Decision Notice, prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Building Works.
                        Security Bond
                 4.     Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $10,000
                        must be submitted, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, prior to the
                        issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works. The cash bond or trading bank
                        guarantee will be returned on performance of the conditions of approval less any costs
                        incurred by Council in respect of enforcing performance of this permit.
                 5.     The requirements of this development approval are to be effected, prior to the use of the
                        premises. Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum referred
                        to in this approval to effect compliance with conditions.
                        Building Design
                 6.     The building height of the development shall not exceed 2 storeys and 8m above the
                        natural or finished ground level, whichever is higher, at any one point.
                 7.     A verification survey of the building is to be carried out by a Licensed Surveyor and a
                        certificate lodged with Council at completion of work confirming compliance with the
                        maximum allowable height as required by the above condition and the Planning
                        Scheme.

                 14.    A vehicular access driveway to serve the development must be constructed from the
                        Peregian Esplanade frontage of the site with a maximum width of 4.0m at the property
                        boundary.
                 15.    The driveway must be designed by a Registered Professional Civil Engineer (RPEQ)
                        and constructed where practical to Council’s design standards and drawings and to
                        grades that prevent vehicles from scraping and/or bottoming whilst also allowing
                        pedestrians movements along the footpath without any step or level difference. Should
                        any driveways be constructed to grades that do not comply with AS/NZS 2890.1-2004,
                        Council will require that the driveway be removed and reconstructed to levels that do
                        comply.
                        Please note, a step between the driveway and the footpath must be avoided, as it is
                        preferred to have the footpath continue at a constant grade to minimise the potential for
                        pedestrians to trip or fall.
                 16.    To ensure pedestrian safety between vehicles exiting the site and pedestrians on the
                        footpath, the driveway and any associated fencing or vegetation near the driveway must
                        comply with the minimum sight line requirements as defined in AS 2890.1, section 3.2.4.
                        The applicant must demonstrate compliance by illustrating these sight lines on the plans
                        submitted for both Operational Works approval and Building Works approval.
                 17.    All vehicles must enter and leave the site in a forward direction.
                        Car Parking
                 18.    Carparking must be provided within the site generally as shown on annotated drawing
                        number 267-13-01 A dated 19 March 2013 prepared by Michael Donovan Consulting,
                        except as modified herein.
                 19.    A minimum of 1 covered space per dwelling unit and 1 additional space.
                 20.    The carparking area must be designed to comply with the provisions of AS/NZS 2890.1-
                        2004 for user class 1A with allowance for vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward
                        gear and with a minimum head clearance (headroom) at any point of 2.2m.
                 21.    All carparking must be kept, maintained and line-marked in a condition fit for use.
                        Vegetation Protection & Preservation
                 22.    Vehicular pavements within the drip zone of any of the existing trees on site to be
                        retained must be designed as a pervious pavement (such as grass paving cells or
                        similar), as this will allow water that falls on this surface to penetrate to the trees root
                        system. The pavement must be constructed so as not to damage the tree or their root
                        system and in this regard temporary fencing must be provided around the trees during
                        construction to help protect them.
                        Plans must be submitted to the Council for approval that clearly show the type and extent
                        of the pervious pavement and the temporary fencing prior to obtaining a Development
                        Permit for Operational Works.
                        Frontage Works
                 23.    Footpath improvements such as topsoiling, grassing, and tree planting are required to
                        the Peregian Esplanade frontage of the site in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy
                        PSP03 Landscaping Plants & Guidelines. Grass must be couch, free of weeds.



                                                                                                          Page 5 of 13

                 24.    The full length of the Peregian Esplanade frontage of the development site shall be
                        upgraded by providing kerb & channel. The kerb and channel shall be extended to the
                        existing Council catchpit located approximately 7 metres to the north of the site. The
                        alignment of the kerb and channel and any required modifications or improvements to
                        the existing catch pit shall be at the direction of Council at the time of engineering design.
                        All associated and ancillary work including pavement correction to the existing
                        pavement, drainage works, modification of the footpath, and adjustments to the existing
                        infrastructure shall be undertaken as part of these works.
                        In this regard, plans detailing this work shall be prepared and submitted to Council for
                        approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
                 25.    All paths, driveways and parking areas must be designed and constructed to ensure
                        pedestrian safety using non-slip materials, to produce an evenly graded surface finish,
                        and to be in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and Australian
                        Standard 1428.1 Design for Access & Mobility.
                 26.    All redundant vehicular crossings to the site must be removed and replaced by kerb &
                        channel, footpath paving and landscaping such as trees and grasses in accordance with
                        Council’s Standard specifications prior to commencement of the use permitted by this
                        permit.
                        Roof Water & Stormwater Drainage
                 27.    Roof runoff from any dwelling must be directed to a rainwater storage system or tank
                        that is installed to ensure water from the rainwater storage system or tank is used for
                        external uses (such as watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water features,
                        topping-up swimming pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) and for internal (ground floor) use in
                        washing machine cold taps and toilet cisterns. All rainwater tanks are to be designed
                        and installed in accordance with the Queensland Development Code (QDC) current at
                        the time of building approval, and must be part of the plumbing application for approval.
                        The location and capacity of the tanks must be clearly shown on the plans submitted for
                        Building Works and Operational Works approval and any overflow must be directed to
                        the stormwater drainage system.
                 28.    All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage
                        system) must be collected and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater
                        runoff from the site. Stormwater drainage permitted to drain from the site must be
                        discharged to Council’s existing drainage structures in Peregian Esplanade. Plans of
                        the drainage design must be prepared by a Registered Professional Civil Engineer and
                        submitted to Council prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
                 29.    Stormwater runoff from the proposed carparking areas and driveway must be directed
                        to the stormwater drainage system.
                 30.    All site stormwater drainage must be by means of a gravity system.
                        Earthworks
                 31.    Filling works required on site must be carried out in accordance with Council’s Planning
                        Scheme Policy PSP5 – Engineering Design Standards, so as not to cause the additional
                        ponding of water on any adjoining lands or the blockage of, or interference with, any
                        natural watercourses.
                 32.    Earthworks carried out on site must not affect the structural integrity of any of the existing
                        fences or structures that border the development site. Fences that are affected must be
                        replaced prior to the Building Certifier issuing the Certificate of Classification. In this
                        regard any fences to be replaced must be clearly shown on the plans submitted for
                        Operational Works approval.
                        Site Stability




                                                                                                           Page 6 of 13

                 33.    A Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified expert must assess the soil condition on
                        site, determine the soil classification, establish whether any measures are required to
                        protect the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or land, and make
                        recommendations on the type of foundation system(s) best suited for the proposed
                        development. The recommendations of this report must be incorporated into the design
                        and construction of the proposed development.
                        Erosion and Sediment Control
                 34.    Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994)
                        must not be released from the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur,
                        unless all reasonable and practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the
                        release and concentration of contamination. These measures must include as a
                        minimum, but are not limited to, the following:
                        34.1. Ensure non essential exposure of soil is prevented by: restricting the extent of
                              clearing to that necessary for access to, and safe construction of, the approved
                              works; protecting vegetation in all other areas of the site; and by minimising the
                              duration of soil exposure by:
                                34.1.1.   staging the works to minimise the area of soil exposed at any one time;
                                34.1.2.   effectively stabilising cleared areas prior to rainfall if works are delayed
                                          or works are not intended to occur immediately. See E&SC Advice
                                          Note 2;
                                34.1.3.   effectively stabilising areas at finished level without delay; and
                                34.1.4.   effectively stabilising steep areas, such as stockpiles, batters and
                                          embankments, which are not being actively worked and prior to
                                          rainfall.
                        34.2. Where it is not feasible to effectively stabilise cleared areas of exposed soil, such
                              as areas being actively worked, implement a full suite of erosion and sediment
                              controls to minimise erosion and maximise sediment capture in those areas; and
                        34.3. In areas of exposed soil where it is not feasible to either effectively stabilise the
                              surface or implement a full suite of erosion and sediment controls, for example in
                              the areas being actively worked and where the implementation of some erosion
                              and sediment controls would impede construction activities, ensure contingency
                              measures are available on site and are implemented, prior to rain, to minimise
                              erosion and maximise sediment capture;
                        34.4. Effectively stabilise all stockpiles, batters and embankments without delay. Where
                              it is not feasible to effectively stabilise a stockpile, batter or embankment, such as
                              areas being actively worked, ensure that sediment controls are installed and
                              surface stormwater flows are managed such that erosion of stockpiles, batters or
                              embankments is not caused by concentrated stormwater flows;
                        34.5. For all works or other disturbances undertaken within waterways (including
                              riparian areas) ensure;
                                34.5.1.   prior written approval from the relevant consent authority exists; and
                                34.5.2.   Work within waterways must only be: undertaken during dry weather;
                                          be promptly rehabilitated conforming to the natural channel form,
                                          substrates and riparian vegetation as far as possible; and be
                                          undertaken in accordance with Best Practice Erosion and Sediment
                                          Control, Appendix I – Instream works, Sections 14 and 16,

                                34.5.3.    Temporary vehicular crossings of waterways must be designed and
                                           constructed to convey flows and remain stable for all rainfall events up
                                           to the 1 in 10-year average recurrence interval (ARI) event of critical
                                           duration.
                        34.6. Ensure clean stormwater is diverted or managed around or through the site without
                              increasing the concentration of total suspended solids or other contaminants in
                              the flow and without causing erosion (on site or off site). If it is not feasible to divert
                              all areas discharging clean stormwater around or through the site, manage the
                              clean stormwater runoff as for contaminated stormwater runoff, and ensure that
                              sediment basins are sized to accommodate the additional volume of runoff (See
                              E&SC Advice Note 3);
                        34.7. Ensure sheet flows of stormwater are managed such that sheet and rill erosion is
                              prevented or minimised.
                        34.8. Ensure that all concentrated stormwater flows including drainage lines, diversion
                              drains, channels and batter chutes are managed onto, through, and at release
                              points from the site in all rain events up to and including the average recurrence
                              interval (ARI) event of 1 in 2 year ARI without causing water contamination, sheet,
                              rill or gully erosion, sedimentation, or damage to structures or property.
                        34.9. Ensure measures have been implemented such that the runoff from all disturbed
                              areas flows to a sediment basin or basins. Where it is not feasible to divert runoff
                              from small disturbed areas of the site to a sediment basin, implement
                              compensatory erosion and sediment controls (See E&SC Advice Note 4).
                        34.10. Ensure each sediment basin has the capacity to treat flows to current best
                               practice standards (see E&SC Advice Note 5) and as a minimum to contain all
                               the stormwater runoff from the 80th percentile 5 day rainfall depth and store 2
                               months sediment from the receiving catchment, as determined using the Revised
                               Universal Soil Loss Equation.
                        34.11. Ensure sediment basins are maintained with sufficient storage capacity to
                               capture and treat the runoff for the design rainfall depth or event. Where
                               sediment basins are proposed to be oversized for storage of captured water for
                               re-use, install survey markers in each such basin to indicate the level that water
                               within the basin must be lowered to, in order to meet the storage capacity
                               specified in the above requirement.
                        34.12. Ensure sediment basins are dewatered as soon as practicable after each rainfall
                               event.
                        34.13. Ensure stormwater captured in sediment basins is treated prior to discharge to
                               minimise the volume and concentration of contaminants released from site,
                               having due regard to forecast rainfall (See E&SC Advice Note 6).
                        34.14. Ensure sediment basins and associated structures such as inlets, outlets and
                               spillways are structurally sound for 10 year ARI rainfall event, under normal
                               circumstances and for 100 year ARI rainfall event, if failure of the basin poses a
                               threat to downstream dwellings or public safety.
                        34.15. Ensure accumulated sediment from basins and other controls is removed and
                               disposed of appropriately without causing water contamination.
                        34.16. Ensure sediment does not leave the site on the tyres of vehicles.
                        General
                 35.    A suitably qualified Registered Professional Engineer must prepare engineering
                        drawings and specifications for all engineering works, which must be submitted in
                        conjunction with an application for a Development Permit for Operational Works.

                 36.    Digital detailed designs including drawings, calculations, specifications etc, must be
                        submitted with any application for a Development Permit for Operational Works in
                        respect of roadworks and stormwater drainage works. The design must be in
                        accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy PSP05 – Engineering Design
                        Standards – Roads, Drainage and Earthworks. To avoid conflict with underground pipes
                        or services, all existing and proposed services required by the development must be
                        shown on the plans.
                 37.    To facilitate production of As Constructed drawings it is suggested that all design
                        drawings are submitted in the Asset Design and As Constructed (ADAC) digital format.
                        (Guidelines on the use of ADAC are available at www.adac.com.au).
                 38.    Any damage caused to any public utility during the course of construction must be
                        repaired to Council’s standards and at no cost to Council.
                 39.    Any alteration of any public utility or other facilities necessitated by the development of
                        the land or associated construction works external to the site must be at no cost to
                        Council.
                 40.    The transportation of all materials to and from the site must be undertaken in a manner
                        such that no particle matter escapes onto a public road. All vehicles carrying materials
                        either to or from the site must be covered to prevent materials including dust being
                        windblown from the vehicle.
                 41.    As Constructed drawings and data must be certified by a qualified experienced Civil
                        Engineer for design intent, and a Licensed Surveyor must certify the cadastre and the
                        location, level and type of all services and structures. All of which must be submitted to
                        Council for checking and for Council’s records.
                 42.    The data must fully detail levels for all engineering works including but not limited to
                        drainage structures, finished ground levels and pavement surface levels. The data must
                        be submitted in the Asset Design and As Constructed (ADAC) digital format. (Guidelines
                        on the use of ADAC are available at www.adac.com.au).
                          Approval of works must not be granted until all As Constructed information has been
                          supplied and accepted by Council.

                 1.     This development permit may trigger an 'Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notice' (if
                        applicable) to be issued in accordance with Councils 'Adopted Infrastructure Charges
                        Resolution (No.1) 2011' under the State Planning Regulatory Provision (Adopted
                        Charges) and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
                 E&SC Advice Notes
                 2.     In this document, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not:
                        2.1. have visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or
                        2.2. lead to sedimentation, or
                        2.3. - lead to water contamination.
                 3.     Diverting clean stormwater runoff into a sediment basin is an inferior option to diverting
                        clean stormwater around or through the site because it will cause an increase in the
                        volume and frequency of contaminated releases from the sediment basin. For this
                        reason, diverting clean stormwater into a sediment basin is not acceptable unless the
                        proponent demonstrates that diverting clean stormwater around or through the site is
                        not feasible.
                 4.     Compensatory controls are erosion controls, flow controls and sediment controls which
                        compensate for the lack of sediment basin and are applied such that the type, timing,
                        placement and management of controls minimise the potential for water contamination
                        and environmental harm. This is primarily achieved by reducing the risk of erosion and
                        subsequent sediment release, for example by turfing or mulching and managing
                        concentrated flows in the area.
                 5.     Research has shown that sediment basins designed on a “batch” or total storm capture
                        approach are only capable of treating a small percentage of the annual runoff volume
                        without basin size becoming excessive. Innovation in sediment basin design to
                        incorporate continuous flow treatment is likely to occur in the future and as this
                        technology becomes available in best practice guidelines it is required that this
                        technology be adopted where a better water quality outcome will result. In the interim
                        the minimum basin size is as specified in the condition.
                 6.     Dewatered flows from sediment basins must be treated to ensure total suspended solids
                        concentrations of less than 50mg/L and that pH is within 6.5-8.5 unless it can be
                        demonstrated that a non-compliant release occurred to facilitate a better environmental
                        outcome. For example, higher total suspended solids concentrations may be acceptable
                        in circumstances where further rain is imminent and it can be substantiated that
                        releasing partially treated basin water which has a TSS concentration exceeding the
                        release limit, would minimise the total contamination released from the site, by providing
                        for the capture and treatment of expected runoff. However, releasing waters from
                        sediment basins without treatment is not acceptable.
                 7.     The applicant is advised that a Compliance Permit for all plumbing and drainage works
                        within the boundaries of the development site must be obtained from Council’s Plumbing
                        Services Section prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Building Works.
                        Equitable Access and Facilities
                 8.     The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with
                        the requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people
                        with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the
                        requirements of the Building Code of Australia – Part D3 as they relate to people with
                        disabilities, one or both of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
                          (a)          the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth); and
                          (b)          Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland).

                        Sunshine Coast Regional Council recommends that the following matters be considered
                        to address equitable access and facilities in the building:
                          (a)          the building and environs should be designed to meet the requirements of the
                                       Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission “Advisory Notes on Access
                                       to Premises” and AS 1428.2;
                          (b)          applicants should be aware that a “Disability Standard on Access to premises”
                                       is currently being developed and most likely will impose changes on the
                                       Building Code of Australia; and
                          (c)          any services and facilities in the building complex should allow independent,
                                       dignified and equitable use of the services and facilities for all people.
                        Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
                 9.     There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or
                        obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003.
                        The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person
                        who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure
                        the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage.” It is an offence to fail to comply
                        with the duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or
                        corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land
                        and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the Act can also issue stop
                        orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or
                        the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
                        You should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3239 3647 to discuss
                        any obligations under the ACH Act.
                        Resubmission of Amended Plans Required
                 10.    The conditions of this Decision Notice require resubmission of plans to Council with
                        amendments. Please address the amended plans to Council’s Development
                        Assessment Branch with the Reference No. MCU10/2113.03. To avoid delays and
                        assessment issues with the Building Works application, it is recommended the plans be
                        resubmitted prior to lodgement of any Building Works application. However, should the
                        plans not be submitted, the applicant is advised that a Preliminary Approval may be
                        issued in lieu of a Development Permit.
