Attachment D - Architect's Statement

The Southern (front) garden is also lifted to 2.7 with a series of retaining walls so the front
driveway is completely protected.

The Northern entry from Chaplin Park and pedestrian access from Gympie Terrace also
steps up to 2.7RL so in any scenario where a flood even reaches 2.4m, the basement will
not be inundated. The ramp design has been coordinated with DME Projects to ascertain the
functionality of access requirements for the basement ramp.

Access:

Council Note: It is recommended that the applicant confirms that the lawful rights exist prior
to making any application.

Architects Response: Due-diligence confirms legal access for Lot 1 MCH3881 as benefitted
land.

Council Note: It is expected that vehicles entering and existing the site along the easement
will need to travel in a forward gear with a total of 3 movements. Swept paths to be included
as evidence.

Architects Response: Please refer to DME Projects swept paths provided with this
document.

Site works and Acid Sulfate Soils:

Council Note: Any application will need to include sufficient detail to demonstrate how the
proposed development will address this overlay. Site investigation, dewatering plan and
construction methodology.

Architects Response: TBC, this will be provided once we engage a landscape architect.

Council Note: Detail on how the structural integrity of adjoining lands and/or buildings will be
maintained both during and after construction.

Architects Response: Necessary means will be met to ensure structural integrity of adjoining
lands including council owned, which will be protected and maintained both during and after
construction. Generally, a dilapidation report and details on protection can be produced by
the selected contractor prior to site works commence.
