PROJECT URBAN – 18135                                                                         May 2018

LANDSCAPING

The development will include landscape treatments to soften the built form of the proposed
cabins. In this respect, landscape screening is proposed between the cabins to provide privacy
and along the northern site boundary to provide further screening to the neighbouring property.
The applicant is currently in discussions with the local Landcare group about this landscape work.



SERVICING

Visitors will be asked to bring all waste to the site manager for disposal as necessary or when
they check out. The site manager will collect and transport all waste to Pomona Kin Kin Road for
kerbside collection as per existing arrangements. Additional bins will be provided where
necessary once the operation commences and waste amounts have been confirmed.



INFRASTRUCTURE

The subject site is currently connected to electrical and telecommunications infrastructure. The
site is not connected to reticulated water or sewer supply. As such, 4,000L water tanks will be
provided to each cabin and sufficient area for effluent disposal is available on site. A Site and Soil
Evaluation was undertaken which recommends that an Advance Secondary Waste Water
Treatment System and a pressurised Surface Reticulated Irrigation System be installed to treat
and dispose of effluent from the cabins on site. In total the report recommends that a disposal
area of 805m2 is required to deal with the waste generated by the proposed cabins. To reflect the
proposed staging of the cabins, the proposed site plan shows disposal area will be split into two
areas of 403m2.

Roof water from the cabins will be collected in the rainwater tanks and utilised on site. Any
overflow from the tanks will be dispersed around the cabins in a manner that will avoid scouring
or damage to the site. This water will ultimately drain into the waterways to the south of the
cabins.
