4.0 SERVICES

4.1      Water Reticulation & Sewer Connection
The previous development utilised a water service connection at the south western corner of the
site via a 300dia trunk main that exists adjacent to the southern boundary within the Gympie Tce
road reserve. The development will use the existing main connection location and will require the
installation of new meters in accordance with a Unitywater connection application.

An existing 150dia uPVC sewer reticulation main is located within an easement adjacent to the
northern boundary. It is expected that the proposed development will connect to the network using
the existing property connection stub directly to an existing manhole near the north west corner of
the site. Fig. 3 below shows the existing water and sewer reticulation.

4.2      Electrical
It is expected that the proposed development will gain electrical supply from the existing overhead
network in Gympie Tce. The developer will negotiate with Energex for the installation of overhead
equipment that may include an additional property pole within the subject site.

4.3      Communications
Underground communications equipment exists within the Gympie Tce verge and is expected to
provide a suitable point of connection for the proposed lots. The developer will negotiate with
Telstra/NBN to identify connection capability and any upgrades or network extensions that may be
required.

4.4      Waste Collection
It is proposed to utilise Council’s on-street waste collection service with a bin storage for each unit
located within the basement. Residents will transport their own bins to the kerbside for collection via
Mill Street. The bin store has been integrated into the basement to ensure easy access for residents
and screening from the street.
