Dear Noosa Council

Please accept this email as a request for a non-standard Driveway Crossover for 19 Elanda St, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567 (lot 186 on RP48113).

Pure BA issued a BA for a new dwelling (council ref: PC24/0432) which had a standard driveway crossover as per the “Driveway Crossover Checklist”, i.e. all questions were answered “Yes”.

After a period of recent heavy rainfall, it was noticed that installing the driveway crossover north of the existing stormwater pit allowed stormwater water to fill up in the driveway crossover (and possibly enter the property) before discharging to the stormwater pit.

To address this issue, an alternative driveway crossover design located south of the existing stormwater pit was developed, see attached plan.

Based on the “Driveway Crossover Checklist”, the new design would also constitute a standard driveway crossover, i.e. all questions were answered “Yes”, see attached scan of checklist.

However, the nominated builder was approached this morning by a council employee named “Andrew” who advised that the driveway crossover is non-standard due to it not being constructed square to the street alignment.

To that end, please accept this email and attachments as a request for a non-standard driveway crossover. As you can see from the attached plans, the driveway crossover achieves the required 1m separation to the stormwater pit and is wholly contained within the site frontage from invert of channel to property boundary.

The following documents are attached to support this application:

  *   Site Plan
  *   DA Form 1

The nominated builder has already commenced work on the driveway crossover (prepped but not poured) due to the belief that it was a standard crossover.

Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if this application could be fast tracked to allow the nominated builder to complete the crossover works ASAP to minimise disruption for adjoining properties and road reserve users.

Please provide the payment link email as soon as possible, which will be paid straight away.

If you have any queries or would like to discuss this request further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards
