                                    We are writing to respond to parts of the information request dated 10-12-12, other responses
..                                  are provided          separately.

                                    We have provided site plan 1209-01 and shed cross sections 1209-05 to 1209-08 inclusive to
                                    assist with the application. Plans 1209-09 to 1209-17 inclusive are listed below in relation to
                                    access.




                                    5. Integrated Stormwater Management Plan


                                   We enclose our Integrated Stormwater Management Plan to address this item.

                                   We enclose our Integrated Stormwater Management Plan to address this item.


                                   9. Access Driveways


                                         (a)The extent of improvements at the site access intersection with Top Forestry Road is
                                            shown on enclosed plan 1209-09.


                                                            As the entry/exit of large vehicles is only to the east the intersection angle has
                                                            been altered to obtain a minimum 1200 observation angle (Chapter 13 RPDM
                                                            Figure 13.69)to oncoming east bound traffic. Cars will be able to turn south west
                                                            along Top Forestry Road if required.

                                                            This re-alignment of the current intersection will improve sight visibility and
                                                            provide better delineation and priority between a minor existing access (the
                                                            minor access is also from the subject site).


                                                            Moving the access entry point west will also use up less of the bus stop area
                                                            than at present.


                                                            Sight visibility is acceptable. The western visibility of 108m exceeds the desirable
                                                            83m length for non-domestic access at 60km/h approach shown in Figure 3.2 of
                                                            AS2890.1. The eastern visibility of 78m exceeds the 69m desirable length for
                                                            non-domestic access at 50km/h approach shown in Figure 3.2 of AS2890.1
                                                            (westbound curve has a spot speed of 50km/h).

                                         (b)The extent of improvements to access driveway from Top Forestry Road to proposed
                                            sheds are shown on enclosed plans 1209-09, 1209-10, long sections 1209-14, 1209-15,
                                               plus cross sections 1209-16 and 1209-17.
