development, the proposed development will provide a net reduction in demand for off-site parking and
will not adversely impact the surrounding road network.


4.9       GEOTECHNICAL
The proposed development will involve earthworks on a sloping site which is mapped as being in
landslide hazard area in the Noosa Plan overlay mapping. A geotechnical report (refer Appendix E) has
been prepared by Core Consulting that assesses the stability of the site and includes recommendations
for the construction of the proposed development and protection of the adjoining development.

The recommendations include construction techniques throughout the preparation and construction
phase of the development, with the earthworks to be supervised by a geotechnical engineer. The report
also provides recommendations for footings and drainage works. Subject to the implementation of the
recommendations of the report, the site is considered to be very low to low risk of instability.


4.10 INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES


The subject site is currently connected to all essential urban infrastructure. Stormwater will be collected
and held to predevelopment levels via an internal detention tank before being released to the legal point
of discharge at the existing kerb channel in Duke St, as per the Stormwater management plan included
in Appendix C of this report. All internal water, sewer, telecommunication and electrical connection will
be finalised during the detail design stage of the development.
