            Attention:                        Maxwell Potter

            Dear Sir,

                        Re:                   Information Request
                        At:                   21 Jirrima Crescent, Cooroibah. Lot 46 RP 136461


            With reference to the abovementioned request for additional information (ref:
            RAL21/0035), we prepared a response to address the matters raised regarding the existing
            driveway access as follows:

            1. Provide additional detail on the proposed access driveway. The detail must
               include but not be limited to:
               1.1. A plan prepared by a suitably qualified person (Registered Professional
                    Engineer of Queensland – RPEQ)
               1.2. A formation that is in accordance with PSP6 or sufficient detail to
                    demonstrate that the proposed formation achieves compliance with the
                    Reconfiguration of a Lot Code – Performance Outcome PO21(g).

            Please refer to the attached plans demonstrating the configuration of the proposed battle
            axe handle driveway.

            Based on historical information including design plans prepared by Aurecon, the existing
            access road is understood to have been constructed to allow access to heavy vehicles to a
            NBN tower installed in the adjacent property. The historic plans indicate that the driveway
            was constructed to a design of 100mm of road base and 300mm of subbase over a
            geofabric liner, which is believed to be a minimum depth.

            A site inspection was undertaken on Friday 18 March to investigate the driveway condition
            and suitability to be used as access which found the driveway in good condition, with a well
            compacted and stable gravel surface layer despite the recent heavy rains. Refer to Figure 1
            - Existing Driveway Conditions during Site Visit for an indicative photo of the conditions
            observed. A measured width of minimum 3.5m was found to be typical along the length of
            the driveway.

            Our assessment of the driveway, based on the design information and observed condition
            of the driveway during the site visit, has found that the driveway is of solid construction and
            typically suitable to provide all weather access to the proposed rear allotment in its current
            state.
