11. The proposal does not sufficiently identify where either the potable or non-potable water supply.

It is assumed that the 4000 litre tank proposed to be plumbed to each cabin will rely on roof water collected
on the small roof of each respective cabins for both potable and non-potable supply. The potential peak
population of say 24 people will therefore rely on water collected from possibly 37 square metres of the roof
of each cabin. It is assumed that each tank will be independently plumbed to the motel villa that it services
and possibly each with their own pressure pump. It is suggested that depending on occupancy rates, that this
proposed source and associated storage of potable water may not be sufficient. For example, 4 people in a
cabin for a week, would require 3220L just to have the septic system operating properly which is 80% of the
tank’s capacity. Therefore, potable water may or may not need to be trucked in and therefore water tanker
access may need to be possible to all proposed water tanks. | suggest that that would also require a hard
surface for accessing each cabin as the ground can become boggy. This proposed hard surface would then
encourage visitors to park adjacent to their unit rather than in the proposed car park.

It is therefore suggested that the development application does not provide sufficient details on yet another
critical design and operational element.

12. |The development application does not clearly indicate where the refuse bins/skip will be stored and
whether any screening is proposed.

The development application explains the waste management is “work in progress” as the applicant does not
know what to expect until the proposed development starts operating. There should be sufficient
information and science available to enable any applicant proposing 6 cabins with a potential peak occupancy
of say 24 person (in 2 stages) to be able to provide proposed waste management details. Unfortunately, once
again the limited information has been provided in the development application on yet another often
important design and operational element.
