REC14/0008 St 5 Reconfiguration 2 lots into 6 lots Report & Plans

 

Flooding and drainage

014 Buildings and other works are

designed and sited to—

a) provide flood free access to premises

and flood free habitable areas;

b) allow only minor, short term and

infrequent flooding of non-habitable areas;

c) ensure carparking areas can be

dequately drained;

d) ensure drainage does not adversely

impact upon other premises; and

e) ensure filling or excavation does not

adversely impact upon other premises by—
i) causing ponding of water on the site

or nearby land;

ii. increasing flooding, which adversely

affects the safety or use of any land

upstream and downstream; and

iii. adversely affecting the flow of water

in any overland flow path.

All proposed lots are positioned to be free
of flood area and access to the lots is not
impeded.

Stormwater runoff from Masonry Street
and the residential lots will be treated by a
Stage 3 Bioretention Basin that is located
to the south of Masonry Street, as shown
in the Stormwater Treatment & Water
Quality Management Plan contained in
Appendix C (Ref: Stormwater Treatment
& Water Quality Management Plan,
Prepared by Callaghan & Toth, April
2014).

 

Sloping sites

015 On sloping sites, buildings and
structures are designed to maximise the
use of natural slope and minimise the need
for cut and fill.

The slope of the site allows for natural
drainage but does not require excessive
cut and fill for any potential building areas.

 

Roof Form
016 Roof forms—
a) contribute positively to the local skyline;
b) complement the low rise character of the
locality;
c) use simple traditional roof designs, such
as
hipped, gabled or skillion; and

j) donot create opportunities for

residents to

overlook the private open space areas of
neighbouring properties.

Building design will be addressed at a
later stage if required.

 

Public transport node
017 An accessible and safe public transport
node is established and operated within
Cooroy
that—

k) links public transport services to

other

centres and destinations throughout the
Sunshine Coast; and
b) forms part of an integrated transport
network
that is accessible via pedestrian and bicycle
pathways.

Local bus services are available in close
proximity at Elm Street and the Railway is
in close proximity.

 

 

Environment and cultural heritage
values

018 There are no significant adverse
effects on biodiversity, natural vegetation,
native fauna habitat, landscape quality,
water quality or cultural heritage values,
including those related to—

a) changes to natural drainage;
b) disturbance to any of the wetland

 

The reconfiguration minimises the
potential disturbance to existing water
courses or any significant vegetation. All
proposed lots will be placed outside of the
10m riparian with the exception of Lot 15
which will partially impede upon the
buffer. A proposed walkway which will
cross the waterway will not cause any
significant disturbance to the ecological
qualities of the waterway.
