Doug, the other relevant sections are not supportive of build outs or encroachments on to the road pavement
so your option 2 is preferred. There is a question regarding the existing street that is not indicated on the
design plans. Is your client considering seeking approval to remove the tree?

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

We have been engaged to design a driveway into an existing lot at 16 Myles Street, Tewantin. I understand the architect
Dale Webb from Rufous Design may have already had discussions with you about this. The site is very difficult as the
verge profile is non-compliant and the existing footpath resides approx. 400mm above the top of kerb. We have
produced the attached drawing showing the levels for a compliant driveway and for an alternative utilising a bridging
detail at the kerb based on a Gympie Regional Council standard drawing (also attached). As you can see with the
standard profile the cover over the sewer is compromised (less than UW requirements) and there is no way of lowering
