Dear Sir,
Information Request
Planning Act 2016
I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information to satisfactorily assess the proposal.
application details
Application No.	MCU18/0097
Street Address:	115 Eumundi Noosa Rd Noosaville Qld 4566
Real Property Description:	Lot 30 SP 170751
Planning Scheme:	The Noosa Plan (8 June 2018)
INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue
Vehicle Access and Movements, Pedestrian Connections, and Site Users.
The submitted material does not demonstrate suitable connection of the proposed car park to the existing school campus and adjoining road network, nor demonstrate a suitable layout of the site.
Information Required
Provide a masterplan of the school campus and subject lot to demonstrate connection between the school and proposed car park.
Access to Eumundi Noosa Road from the proposed new school car park is not supported.  Provide an amended proposal plan that provides access to the car park in a satisfactory manner via the existing college access arrangements.  This should include assessment by an RPEQ traffic engineer of operation and sight lines at that new integrated access location and configuration. Note that details of the proposal to legally formalise access through the existing campus parking area for exit from the new car park will also be required.
Provided details of arrangements through signage and other means (such as threshold treatments) to limit use of the car park for staff and student parking only, and prohibiting visitor parking, student set-down and collection activities, and unauthorised/public use.
Remove elements of the proposal plan that suggest a set-down / pick-up zone within the proposed car park.
Prepare a parking management plan detailing arrangements to be used during events to enable and manage parent parking within the car park at those times.  Include details such as provisions to direct parents to the new car park when other existing areas of the campus car park are full.
Provide a plan and additional material demonstrating suitable permeable pedestrian connections between the proposed car park and linkages at the existing campus. The pedestrian connections should be designed to incorporate and make reference to CPTED principles.
Undertake assessment of traffic impacts at the Walter Hay Drive and Goodchap Street intersections with Eumundi Noosa Road that will arise from the redistribution of traffic associated with the proposal.
Issue
Existing vegetation along the frontages of Eumundi Noosa Road and Walter Hay Drive provides vegetation screening of the development area and must be retained to provide advanced screening of the development.
Information Required
Demonstrate the retention of existing vegetation along the frontage of Eumundi Noosa Road and Walter Hay Drive through the provision of an arborist report, which demonstrates the construction and maintenance requirements to maintain the vegetation in good condition for the life of the development.
Issue
The location of the bioretention basin in the front setback area reduces the ability of the development to provide a vegetated screening of the car park area when viewed from the major road networks.
Information Required
Provide a revised car park layout that relocates the bioretention basin and provides vegetation screening of the development when viewed from the major road networks, Walter Hay Drive and Eumundi Noosa Road.
Issue
The landscape code requires a minimum of 1x100L tree to be provided for every 4 car-parking spaces and a minimum of 5m2 is to be provided for each tree. The proposal lacks landscaping amongst the proposed car parking spaces.
Information Required
Provide an assessment of the proposal against the provisions of The Noosa Plan Landscape Code Outcome 28.
Issue
The MUSIC model demonstrated in the Stormwater Report shows that all runoff will flow via pervious paving prior to entering bioretention basins. However, the detail design plans demonstrate that only a small portion of the runoff will flow via pervious paving areas prior to entering the bioretention basins, and therefore is inconsistent with the MUSIC model.  Additionally, the Water By Design Music Modelling Guidelines states that porous paving and associated drainage layer and filter media must be free draining (i.e. does not hold water after rainfall), the information provided does not demonstrate this is the situation on this site.
Information Required
Provide a MUSIC model, that is consistent with the detail design plans in terms of the low flow and high flow bypass to achieve the required pollutant reduction targets.
Demonstrate that the drainage features underlying any pervious paving is consistent with the requirement of The Water by Design Music Modelling Guidelines.
Also, provide a copy of the MUSIC model, prepared in accordance with the Water by Design MUSIC modelling Guidelines, that demonstrates the required pollution reduction targets are achieved.
Issue
Specific Outcome O8 of the Water Sensitive Design Code requires that the Development design including density and scale provides adequate footprint to integrate all elements of stormwater quality and quantity treatment infrastructure including, where relevant, bio retention basin batters and maintenance access, without the need for retaining walls. The incorporation of the detention component with the bioretention water quality treatment component has resulted in retaining walls that do not meet Specific Outcome O8. Additionally, it is not clear how the bioretention basin will be accessed for maintenance purposes.
Information Required
Demonstrate that there is no alternative to the proposed design for incorporation of the above ground incorporation of the detention component with the bio retention basin in the format that requires retaining wall surrounds and demonstrate that adequate access is provided for maintenance. Consider alternatives such as provision of water quality treatment components throughout the car park landscaping and undergrounding detention components to maximise the space available.
due date for response to information request
The due date for providing the requested information is 17 October 2018. 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.
