                     “There will be earthworks required to facilitate construction of stormwater
                     treatment facilities, sanitary drainage and allow for an aesthetically pleasing
                     and functional built form. There is little opportunity for fill material to be won on
                     site therefore most of the fill material will need to be imported”.

                     While the total amount of fill required does not seem to have been identified in
                     the DA Figure 6 “illustrates the ‘swampy’ nature of the lower area of the site in
                     the vicinity of the proposed gabion wall” and states that “a fill wall of
                     approximately 2.0m will be required”.

                     PBCAI agrees with the comment at page 10 of 13 in the Information Request
                     “that the extent of filling of the site may need to be reduced.”

                     The volume of loose (uncompacted) imported fill material required could be in
                     the order of 25,000 cubic metres, constituting a major earthworks exercise.
                     This could require a total of between 5,000 and 10,000 trips by 3 axle trucks.
                     Assuming an earthworks construction duration of 3 months, this could give
                     rise to up to 150 heavy vehicle trips per day (one heavy vehicle every 3 or 4
                     minutes during the working day) along the David Low Way, via Sandpiper
                     Lane and on the access road to the IGA and the other shops. The impacts of
                     this would include:
                         - Significant noise and disruption to homes along David Low Way and
                             adjoining streets, the Peregian Beach Hotel, the hardware store and
                             the premises in the vicinity of the roundabout
                         - Substantial traffic congestion, noise pollution and safety issues at the
                             Peregian village roundabout
                         - Potential damage to the road pavement along David Low Way due to
                             the high concentration of heavy vehicle axle loads.

                     The importation of fill will result in the creek, which seems to have been
                     ignored in the DA, being diverted to run through the Council Reserve.
                     Importation of such high volumes of fill material is likely to create significant
                     problems of contamination in the adjacent reserve and wetlands.

                     PBCAI queries why water reticulation is proposed down the pedestrian access
                     lane to the Peregian Beach Sports Ground (Lot 75 on MCH839108) and a
                     Unity Water meter is proposed at the Peregian Beach Sports Ground
                     boundary rather than on the developers property

                     PBCAI also queries why Electricity supply will be provided by “installing
                     underground infrastructure down the Peregian Sports Reserve access strip”
                     rather than through the developers property.

                     PBCAI queries the contribution the developer will be required to make, if any,
                     to the rectification of this pedestrian access and the extent of any delay in the
                     lighting and development of this pedestrian access (Rufous Lane), which is
                     supposedly underway at present.
