1.      INTRODUCTION

The project comprises the development of a Residential Aged Care Facility and a Retirement
Village for RSL Care at Cooroy.

The development is made up of independent living units and aged care facilities. The main
entrance to the development is off Trading Post Road. The proposal also features a village centre
and two water bodies that will act as stormwater treatment devices. From an engineering
perspective, generally the development can be serviced by the existing infrastructure with little or
no upgrade requirements.

In light of this fact, we see no reason why the development should not be approved on engineering
grounds.


2.      EARTHWORKS

The earthworks will be limited to that required for roadworks, allotment access and the installation
of services. The allotments will be left as close as possible to existing surface levels to preserve
the existing vegetation and minimise disturbance to the site.


3.      STORMWATER DRAINAGE

Stormwater will discharge into the existing gullies in accordance with the proposed Site Based
Stormwater Management Plan. Detention storage and quality objectives will be satisfied via the
treatment measures set out in the management plan.


4.      SEWERAGE RETICULATION

This site is within an area currently sewered by Council. Sewerage to the site will be via a
connection in Pearson Road. The 150mm diameter line runs along the northern side of Pearson
Road and terminates on the eastern corner of the subject site.

The development will require a pump station. The most likely location will be in the north east
corner of the site. Confirmation of the final location will be addressed in the operational works
design.

The location of the connection points are shown on the attached drawing N07058-DA10.


5.      WATER RETICULATION

Water reticulation for the site is a 150mm diameter main that terminates approximately 30 metres
into Trading Post Road.

The location of the connection points are shown on the attached drawing N07058-DA11.
