                 Issue – Parking
                 There is insufficient information regarding on-site parking, internal driveways and the
                 proposed recreational trails.
                 Information Required
                    13.     Provide details demonstrating suitable parking and manoeuvring areas for patrons
                            occupying the proposed glamping tents and cabins. The detail must be prepared by
                            a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of
                            Queensland).
                    14.     Include detail relating to the proposed width of recreational trails, driveways etc.


                 RESPONSE
                 An updated site plan prepared by BAX Engineering demonstrates the onsite internal
                 circulation, swept paths, culvert crossings and passing bays. Refer to Plan 304-001-100 and
                 304-001-800.


                 Issue – Landslide Hazard
                 The site is mapped as being in a Landslide Hazard Area, and a site specific geotechnical
                 report has not been provided. It is noted that the submitted planning report acknowledges this
                 situation and states all proposed dwellings be sited and constructed in accordance with a
                 geotechnical report.
                 Information Required
                    15.   Provide a site specific geotechnical report and site stability assessment for the
                          proposed glamping tents, toilet/shower blocks, carparking and access tracks. The
                          report must include, but not be limited to:
                    15.1 recommendations for the construction and operational phases of the development to
                        ensure the stability of the subject site and the adjoining properties for the longer term
                    15.2 provide a plan of the proposed temporary and permanent structural systems and
                        their construction methodology.


                 RESPONSE
                 A slope stability assessment was carried out. Based on the results of the slope stability
                 assessment, the site is assessed to be ‘very low’ to ‘low’ risk of slope instability provided that
                 development of the site is carried out in accordance with good engineering practice for hillside
                 developments. The AGS Guidelines suggest that a low level of risk is usually “acceptable”.
                 No specific construction requirements are necessary.


                 Issue – Emergency Management Plan
                 The subject site and the road network accessing the site are mapped as being impacted by
                 flooding and bushfire and a natural hazard emergency management plan has not been
                 provided.
                 The proposed glamping tents are located within the bushfire and flood hazard overlay. Council
                 have concerns regarding how patrons will access the site generally and evacuate in the event
                 of a bushfire or flooding event.
