Dear Nadine

We have reviewed Council’s recent information request dated 29 April 2020 and provide comment and response
to the Engineering items raised: -

Item 12 – Footpath, Kerb and Channel

       The proposed works will use the approximate location of an existing driveway as means of accessing
       the site. This will see minimal works to the existing edge of bitumen which allow for the existing edge
       of road flow paths to be maintained.

       The proposed additional impervious area created by the additional dwelling will not increase the
       stormwater runoff from the site as we are proposing to utilise infiltration to reduce rates of runoff from
       the site. With these factors considered we don’t believe kerb and channeling to the site front is
       warranted. The proposed works will have negligible impact on the road reserve in its current form which
       is typical and functional for that area of Peregian Beach.

       The existence of a number of street trees and two electricity poles within the road verge fronting the
       site will greatly impact the construction and alignment of a footpath across the frontage of the site. An
       existing section of footpath fronting No. 14 on the western side of Avocet Parade suggests the obvious
       location for a single continuous footpath would be on that side of the road. The road reserve isn’t wide
       enough to warrant footpaths on both sides of the road.

Item 13 & 14 – Site Lines and Existing Driveway

       We have included site measured site lines from the proposed driveway location on our revised
       documents (enclosed). There will need to be removal of some existing vegetation within the property
       and the road reserve. This is indicated on the enclosed plans.
