Dear Annie
REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL INFORMATION
Thank you for your request for official information dated 11 May 2018, regarding earthworks
undertaken at 9 Boyes Crescent. In particular you have requested the following information:
•
“I would like to know please the details of the earthworks on that site – the volume,
the area, the height of any cuts and fill, and the proximity to boundaries. This
information is required by Council, as you know, before a consent is given.” As previously advised by QLDC, an earthworks consent was not sought or granted for the
house at 9 Boyes Crescent; accordingly we do not believe we hold the information you
have requested.
QLDC decided it was not expedient to pursue enforcement action for the unconsented
earthworks as the work had been completed and was not creating adverse effects on the
environment. The uncertified fill was removed and replaced with certified fill. A surveyor’s
certificate shows the house was built exactly where it was consented, meaning the ground
levels have not changed.
We trust this response satisfactorily answers your request.
Kind regards
Jesse Taylor
Governance Advisor
