1.1 Written details and or plans as appropriate detailing any safety measures proposed
between the lots and the lakes for residents (ie drowning of young children)


It is noted that four (4) of the proposed Lots of Precinct J are adjacent to one of the lakes
that form part of the golf course. An assessment of the safety risks has been undertaken
and a summary follows:


Design Characteristics
     ƒ     The boundaries of the lots are a number of metres from the edge of the lake.
     ƒ     A masonry retaining wall is proposed to be situated on the residential lot
           boundary.
     ƒ     A bank slopes from the proposed lot boundary, in each case, to the lake edge.
     ƒ     The bank continues into the lake at a slope of 1: 2.5.
     ƒ     The bank will be planted primarily with native vegetation, which is generally not
           conducive for play by children. For instance, it is not lawn which may be more
           appealing to children.

Design Characteristics
= The boundaries of the lots are a number of metres from the edge of the lake.

= Amasonry retaining wall is proposed to be situated on the residential lot
boundary.

= Abank slopes from the proposed lot boundary, in each case, to the lake edge.
= The bank continues into the lake at a slope of 1: 2.5.

= The bank will be planted primarily with native vegetation, which is generally not
conducive for play by children. For instance, it is not lawn which may be more
