INFORMATION REQUESTED
7. Provide additional detail that demonstrates how the proposed development will address the existing stormwater drainage
outlet to ensure existing stormwater conditions are not worsened and that no slip hazards will be generated along the
proposed pedestrian and cycle pathway. The additional detail must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ –
Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland).


RESPONSE:
The stormwater discharging from the adjoining south-eastern neighbouring site has been investigated and
considered in the preparation of the Integrated Water Management Plan. A new connection to the proposed new
stormwater drainage system will be provided for this existing drainage outlet as shown on the proposed
Stormwater Layout Plan.

Please be advised that this is intended to be a response to all of the information requested in accordance with the
Planning Act 2016.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS:
If possible, we would like to request a copy of Council’s Draft Conditions for Development be issued for our
review and comment prior to Council formalising their Decision.

On behalf of the applicant and property owners, we also respectfully request Council consideration for a reduction
in the applicable contribution charges for this development based on the land dedications requested. Provision of
the Pedestrian / Cycle Pathway Link between Emerald Street and Wimmers Lane and Road Widening of the
Wimmers Lane frontage results in a loss of 136.7m2 of usable land. This equates to approximately 13.5% of the
total subject site area which has an approximate associated value of $160,000.00. Ideally, a reduction or offset of
the applicable contribution charges can be granted by the Council in compensation.

We trust this response adequately addresses Council’s issues. Should you have any further queries, however,
please contact the undersigned.

Yours faithfully,
WILTSHIRE STEVENS ARCHITECTS
