 Dear Sir/Madam

                                  Information Request
                                Sustainable Planning Act 2009

 I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further information                             to
 satisfactorily assess the proposal.

 Application No:                   OPW14/0362
 Proposal:                         Development Permit for Operational Work (Reconstruction of
                                   stormwater pit near driveway)

 Real Property Description:        Lot 3 N 21841

 2     INFOf{MATION     REQUIRED
                                      ---------
 Reference is made to the submitted engineering plan Sheet No: C01 (A) Project 141720
 prepared by Covey Associates and dated 03 November 2014.

 The information requested is set out below:

 Issues
     • Inlet Pit Capacity: The existing standard grated & 2.0m long kerb inlet pit is situated to
        collect stormwater runoff from the kerb & channel of approximate length of 260m. This
        equates to runoff from about 10 properties and a road reserve area of 2600m2, mostly
        of impervious surface. The existing inlet pit generally manages the receiving flows and
        the associated kerb opening provides significant drainage capacity and assists in
        preventing blockage by debris (leaves etc). The proposed Vee Grated Inlet has much
        lesser capacity and is easily blocked by debris and it is unlikely to handle the receiving
        flows.
     • Pedestrians Safety: The proposed amendment to the surface of a part of the footpath
        to a noncompliant grade of around 16% (the compliant grade is 2.5%) and with even
        steeper transition grades at one end is considered hazardous to pedestrians,
        wheelchairs' and prams' users. As such it is unacceptable.
