Response to Item 1

A concept stormwater management plan prepared by SCG Consulting Engineers is provided at
Attachment 1 for your perusal.          The SWMP demonstrates that the proposed development has
capacity to mitigate the rate of stormwater discharge to the Council stormwater system at the kerb
using onsite harvesting. The applicant’s RPEQ confirms that, as per the SPP2017, water quality
treatment is only required for land areas greater than 2500m 2 and therefore water quality treatment for
the site is not required (refer Attachment 2). No additional improvements are required to Council’s
existing stormwater infrastructure.       Rainwater from the development will be harvested in large
underground tanks in the common property under the driveway.             The Body Corporate will retain
control over the maintenance and access to these rainwater tanks. Rainwater will be reused on site
for garden irrigation and flushing of toilets.



Item 2 Information required

    2. Provide a traffic management plan for the proposed development. The plan must be prepared
         by a suitably qualified person (Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include
         but not be limited to:

             a. Revised plans and/ or sufficient detail to demonstrate how the layout addresses the
                  potential for conflicts at the entrance to the site.

             b. Any necessary signage at the entrance and within the site. Please note that priority
                  must be given to incoming vehicles.

             c.   A cross section of the driveway/ pedestrian path that includes any necessary
                  measures (kerb etc) to provide a safe pedestrian environment.

             d. A fully dimensioned plan of the carparking/ manoeuvring areas.

             e. Vehicles manoeuvring plans for each space or alternately RPEQ endorsement of
                  architectural manoeuvring plans

             f.   The proposed visitor spaces have not setback from the property boundary, Indicate
                  on the plans the visitor spaces with a suitable setback that does not overlap with the
                  adjacent carport space.

             g. A preliminary design of the vehicle access in the road reserve that includes levels,
                  grades etc. Please note that the design must demonstrate that vehicles will not scrap
                  or bottom out on either the driveway or the road formation.

The applicant has engaged Hayes Traffic Engineering to prepare a response to Item 2 at Attachment
3. Each of the vehicle swept paths have been checked and endorsed by the traffic engineer as
suitable for the proposed development. Amended plans demonstrating the traffic requirements are
