Items 4 & 5 – Retaining Wall / Landscaping:
The civil plans indicate a retaining wall along sections of the proposed road elevation. Based on the location
shown in the screenshot below, it may be more appropriate for the wall to adjoin the building, allowing for
increased landscaping width in this area.
Noting the limited area for inground landscaping along the western and southern boundaries (as mentioned in
the above item) consequence of the ramps, stairs, drainage infrastructure and retaining structures, a detailed
landscaping plan is requested to be provided. This will better inform the extent of landscaping along this
elevation.
Information Required:
4. Confirm the proposed retaining wall height and advise whether it can be relocated closer to the building to
improve landscaping opportunities.
5. Provide detailed landscaping plans of suitable species within the above-mentioned constrained areas
Response:
The retaining wall is proposed to remain in its current location. Relocating the wall to adjoin the building would
significantly increase construction complexity and cost. The current offset also allows for the inclusion of
screening and landscaping to enhance privacy for the first-floor units.
Refer to the Earthworks Plan (MCU-C-201) and Longitudinal Sections (MCU-C-210 series) for retaining wall
locations and heights.
Refer to the Landscape Architect’s plans for detailed planting layouts within this area.


Items 8 & 9 – Waste:
The proposed waste collection arrangement includes a 10.2m long front loading (Custom BCC) Waste
Collection Vehicle (WCV).
The WCV Access and WCV – Standing Area & B99 Passing vehicle tracking plans (Drawing SKT-C-001 Rev
P1) show the WCV parked in different locations.
Information Required:
8. Revise plans to adopt a rear loading WCV, accessing the bin area in a reverse gear. See attached
specifications for the preferred design WCV.
9. Provide amended vehicle turning path diagrams demonstrating that a car can pass when the WCV is parked
and loading.
Response:
Revised Civil Drawings have been provided in the appendix, demonstrating a waste collection arrangement
designed to Noosa Council standards.
The drawings now show the WCV which will turn at the designated turn around at the end of the street, enter
the site in a reverse gear and drive off the site in a forward direction, and passing manoeuvres for a B99 vehicle
have been verified in the same location as the WCV access path.
