This meeting predates council's current meetings system, which begins in April 2023, so there is no agenda here with each item cued to the video. What follows is what the record holds: council's papers, the recording, and the decisions its minutes record.

Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum in the event that the Appellant defaults in compliance and does not rectify that compliance upon written request of the Respondent which shall provide a reasonable time within which any such default is to be rectified. Building Setback and Height 5. The proposed Detached House must be located on the site, as shown on the Proposed Site Plan, Drawing No. DD1.3, Revision A. The Detached House is not to be located closer than 4.3m to the seaward boundary on the northern side and 5.6m to the seaward boundary on the southern side. The proposed elevated deck on the first level is not to extend closer than 3m to the seaward boundary. Certification of the location of the Detached House, including the elevated open deck from the seaward boundary, is to be provided by a licenced surveyor before the issue of a final classification for the Detached House by the building certifier. The certification must be submitted to Council. 6. The proposed Detached House must not exceed a maximum height of 8m from the natural ground level and finished ground level, as shown on the North Elevation, Drawing No. DD 2.1, Revision A and the South Elevation Drawing No. DD 2.2, Revision A. The height of the Detached House from natural ground level and finished ground level shall be certified by a licenced surveyor before the issue of a final classification for the dwelling by the building certifier. The certification must be submitted to Council. Geotechnical Stability 7. A footing system and erosion protection system must be designed to withstand the short-term erosion associated with a 500-year average recurrence interval storm event combined with shoreline recession due to sea-level rise for 2100 climate change. The short-term erosion associated with a 500-year average recurrence interval storm event combined with shoreline recession due to sea-level rise for 2100 climate change to be considered for the design of stabilisation measures must be that shown on Figure 8-3 of the 2019 Omtrek report “Working Notes: Mason v Noosa Shire Council - 54 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach”, (Reference J0033 R1, 11 May 2019). 8. The footing system and erosion protection system must in accordance with the works detailed in the Tectonic report “Geotechnical Investigation, 54 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach”, (Reference 19078-003-Rev 0, 17 July 2020) and other supporting documents referenced in the Tectonic report. 9. The design must include the protection of the northern and southern boundaries of the site to prevent erosion on neighbouring properties exposing the side boundaries of the site to erosion. The minimum extent of the side boundary protection must be determined by a line drawn at 28° extending upwards to the west from the base of the rear point of the erosion shown on Figure 8-3 of the 2019 Omtrek report “Working Notes: Mason v Noosa Shire Council - 54 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach”, (Reference J0033 R1, 11 May 2019). 10. The design must be accompanied by certification by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) specialising in geotechnical engineering that the design is satisfactory and will provide a long-term factor of safety concerning slope stability of no less than 1.5. 11. Following construction, certification must be supplied to Council by an RPEQ specialising in geotechnical engineering that the works have been constructed under the approved design. 12. A dilapidation survey shall be carried out of all adjacent properties before the demolition of the existing dwelling on the site. 13. Due to the risk of instability on the existing dune slope and the potential for settlement of loose sand on the adjacent properties, vibrations shall be kept to a minimum and shall be monitored during the construction of the Detached House. Driven piles (both sheet piles and pile footings) are not permitted on the site. 14. Landscaping at the rear of the property and the crest of the existing dune slope shall be limited to a maximum surcharge of 5kPa unless a site-specific slope stability analysis is carried out to demonstrate that higher loads are acceptable. 15. Under no circumstances shall building materials be temporarily stockpiled in the area of the crest of the existing dune slope or on the slope. 16. Discharge of concentrated stormwater flows onto the dune slope shall be avoided, and under no circumstances shall subsurface disposal of water be permitted using infiltration pits. 17. Stormwater runoff from gutters, down-pipes, driveways, and paved areas shall be collected and directed by pipes into the Council stormwater system along Seaview Terrace. Where this is not possible, surface water should be directed to infiltrate into the ground around the edges of hard surfaces, with infiltration areas set back as far as possible from the crest of the dune slope. 18. The existing dune slope and any areas disturbed by the construction of the proposed development shall be revegetated as soon as possible to reduce the potential for erosion. Earthworks 19. Earthworks required on-site must be carried out under Council’s Planning Scheme Policy PSP5 Engineering Design Standards, so as not to cause the additional ponding of water on any adjoining lands or concentrate or direct overland flow on to an adjoining property. Coastal Protection 20. A mix of native endemic coastal vegetation consisting of ground covers, shrubs and trees shall be planted for the width of the property, from the edge of the dwelling to the seaward boundary. The landscaping works is to be consistent with Planning Scheme Policy PSP3 - Landscaping Plants and Guidelines. The planted vegetation must have a minimum pot size of 200mm and must be planted at the following density: a. trees must have a maximum spacing of 5m; b. shrubs must have a maximum spacing of 1.5m; and c. ground covers planted between the trees and shrub stems from providing dense coverage. The development is to provide adequate landscape buffering to protect the character of the beachfront, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Manager Development Assessment. Pedestrian Access 21. A pedestrian access gate must not be installed along the seaward property boundary with direct access by residents to the beachfront area not being permitted. Significant Weather Event 22. Should a significant weather event occur which results in substantial erosion within the site, and undermines the structure and/or renders the Detached House uninhabitable, the owner must 22.1 Immediately secure the perimeter of the property to prevent unauthorised access and then undertake necessary works upon the land to make the detached house safe and suitable for habitation in a timely manner. a. Any work proposed must be designed to ensure that the work will not cause adverse impacts on other lands or on coastal processes. b. Rock, concrete and like hard materials must not be used for the construction of beach protection works. c. Any work proposed to be carried out must undertaken in accordance with a Development Permit for Operational Works. 22.2 or remove the Detached House and all associated structures including the footpath crossover and make the land safe at no cost to the Council.
