Development authorised by this approval must be undertaken generally in accordance with the Approved Plans listed within this Decision Notice.
Building Height
The maximum height of the development must not exceed Reduced Levels indicated on the approved plan titled “Plan of Detail Survey of Lots 1, 2 and Common Property on GTP141” by Murray & Associates (QLD) Pty Ltd.
Certification must be submitted to Council from a Licensed Surveyor which certifies the building does not exceed the Reduced Levels shown on the approved plan referenced in Condition 3.
Certification must be submitted to Council from a Licensed Surveyor which certifies the building will not exceed the Reduced Levels shown on the approved plan referenced in Condition 3, based on construction progress at the time of completion of framing (i.e. top plates) to the roof level of the approved atrium.
Performance Bond
Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $10,000 must be submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, prior to the pre-start meeting. 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.  Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum to effect compliance with condition.
Building Appearance
All air conditioning units or other mechanical equipment must be fully enclosed or screened such that they are not visible from the street frontages nor adjoining properties.
All deck and balcony areas above ground floor must not be enclosed by permanent fixtures such as shutters, louvres, glass paneling or the like.
The approved lift shaft must be glazed and predominantly transparent, as indicated on the approved plans.
External finishes to the approved lift shaft, including any metal cladding or flashings, must have low reflectivity to avoid glare nuisance to neighbouring premises.
Landscaping
Existing trees on the site and within road reserves must be retained, except where required to be removed to accommodate the approved dwelling.
Trees to be retained must be protected from clearing or construction activities by:
clearly marking vegetation to be retained with flagging tape
installing protective fencing around the drip line of the vegetation
restricting stockpiling, storage and vehicle parking to those areas which are already cleared
using low impact construction techniques around vegetation.
The development site must be landscaped prior to the commencement of use. All open space areas disturbed by the construction and/or within the site’s rear setback must be planted with dense native screening vegetation of suitable coastal shrub and tree species up to a mature height of 5m.
All landscape works must be established and maintained in accordance with horticultural best practice with construction techniques that allow for healthy, sustained and vigorous plant growth.  All plant material must be allowed to grow to full form.
WASTE
Refuse Management
Where the development involves the removal, relocation or demolition of a building, a Waste Management Plan (construction and demolition) shall be submitted and approved by Council prior to issue of a development permit for operational works. Waste Management Plans (construction and demolition) are required to be submitted in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 11, Waste Management Plans see table below.  Waste storage areas are to provide for adequate separation of all reusable, recyclable and waste materials. These shall be located so that they are convenient and safe to use. (Refer to Noosa Council Waste Management Code). The Plan shall contain the following information:
The site area for the storage and separation of waste is to be shown on the plan drawings accompanying the application.
A waste management table as indicated below is to be completed showing how waste material is to be segregated - recycled – reused or disposed.

MATERIALS ON-SITE	DESTINATION
	Re-use and Recycling	Disposal
Expected waste materials	Estimated volume(m³)	On-site            *specify proposed re-use or on-site recycling methods	Off-site              *specify contractor and recycling outlet	*specify contractor and landfill site or other disposal site
Excavation material				
Green waste				
Bricks				
Concrete				
Timber-please specify				
Plasterboard				
Metals - please specify				
Asbestos				
Other - please specify				
Note * If a demolition contractor is undertaking works, then the Waste Management table is to be completed by the demolition contractor.
The developer must provide waste storage and disposal facilities in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy “Waste Management Multi-Dwellings and Commercial and Industrial Premises”, including an external imperviously paved area correctly sized for all refuse and recycling containers and suitably screened from public places and neighbouring properties.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Noise Nuisance
Noise emission from any new mechanical equipment shall comply with the following requirements:
Air-conditioning and Refrigeration
7am to 10pm: Maximum background + 5dB(A)
10pm to 7am: Maximum background + 3dB(A)
Pumps
7am to 7pm: Maximum background + 5dB(A)
7pm to 10pm: Maximum background + 3dB(A)
10pm to 7am: No audible noise.
Submission of written certification from a suitably qualified person confirming that the noise levels from all mechanical equipment comply when measured at either the residential boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building, whichever is the closest to the equipment. The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment and prior to any occupation of the building, and in a format approved by Council.  All equipment should be operating at the same time to test the overall noise level created.
Advice: It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the installation is involved at the plan development stage so they can recommend where this equipment is best located. They can also advise about noise enclosures and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems.  It is a lot more costly to try and deal with noise problems after everything is built.
Noise from residential building works shall comply with the following –
Limited to between 7:00am to 6:30pm Monday to Saturday.
All reasonable measures are taken to minimise noise emissions.
Not permitted on Sunday or public holidays.
ENGINEERING
Geotechnical Stability
A Geotechnical Engineer or similar qualified person 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.
Earthworks 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.
A Condition Survey must be carried out on adjoining buildings, structures and services prior to any demolition, excavation or construction works taking place on site.  If distress already exists, a photographic survey should be undertaken, the distress measured and a plan to monitor changes to distress must be implemented. Copies of these surveys must be submitted to Council for its records
The use of vibratory equipment of any kind is not permitted to be used (including vibrating rollers and the use of vibrating installation techniques for sheet piling and other construction vibrations caused by excavating, earthmoving or demolition machinery or other similar construction techniques) unless approved and supervised by a Certified Geotechnical Engineer.  Under such circumstances the operator of such equipment must at all times comply with the directions of the Geotechnical Engineer.
The excavation of the site and the construction of the proposed works must not have any adverse effects on the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or services and/or lands. In this respect, a Registered Professional Engineer Queensland must supervise the excavation of the site and the construction of the new works to determine whether any additional measures are required to protect the stability of adjoining buildings and/or structures and/or services and/or lands.
At the completion of the development a suitably qualified and accredited consultant must provide certification to Council that states that:
the development has been undertaken in accordance with the design
the development will not have any long term effects on the stability of the subject site or any adjoining properties
the site has a minimum factor of safety against landslip of 1.5.

reasons/grounds for approval
The Assessment Manager considers the decision conflicts with the planning scheme and the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict:
1.	The multiple dwelling use is existing on the site and the development does not involve intensification of the use in regard to the number of units or population density.
RIGHTS OF APPEAL
You are entitled to appeal against this decision. A copy of the relevant appeal provisions from the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 is attached.
During the appeal period, you as the applicant may suspend your appeal period and make written representations to Council about the conditions contained within the development approval. If Council agrees or agrees in part with the representations, a “negotiated decision notice” will be issued. Only one “negotiated decision notice” may be given. Taking this step will defer your appeal period, which will commence again from the start the day after you receive a “negotiated decision notice”. (Refer to Part 8 “Dealing with decision notices and approvals” - Division 1 “Changing decision notices and approvals during applicant’s appeal period” of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.)
