response to information request updated letter - pomona subdivision 19.11.2021
13. Noting that all retaining structures must be within the lot they support, or
otherwise be covered under an easement, provide additional detail on the
proposed retaining walls. The detail must be prepared by a Registered
Professional Engineer of Queensland and include but not be limited to:
a. cross sections at the highest point of each of the proposed retaining
structures indicating the location of the walls and foundations in
relation to the property boundaries, the proposed building pad and
finished ground levels;
b. the type of wall construction (material, foundations, etc.);
c. the structures required to collect and convey existing overland flows
that are impacted on by the construction of the walls;
d. any fencing to be installed on top of or beside the walls;
e. the location of any services, above or below ground, adjacent to the
proposed walls.
The retaining wall details are included as part of the updated TOD engineering plans and
specific comment below:
The preliminary drawings show proposed earthworks for the site that includes
providing level house pads for future owners to build on. We have shown indicative
locations and heights for retaining walls on the preliminary drawings; however it is
planned to minimise the extent of retaining walls for aesthetic and costs reasons.
Full extent of retaining walls will be determined during the detailed
design/Operational Works phase. A typical detail for a concrete sleeper wall has
been included in the preliminary engineering drawings, however it should be noted
that as these are proprietary items they are designed and certified by the
supplier/contractors RPEQ.
In order to construct the bio retention basin, it will be necessary to import fill to the
site to lift the blocks and road level above the basin levels. The amount of fill will
be refined during the detail design.
