                                       shape with an eastern boundary 53.4m. deep and a western boundary
                                       60.4m. deep. The site has an area of 922m 2.

       Existing land uses              Shop and associated Caretaker’s Accommodation

       Existing                        The shop building is one storeys in height and closer towards the road
       development                     frontage than the two storey caretaker’s accommodation behind (i.e. to
                                       the south). There is a small single storey outbuilding in the south-
                                       western corner of the site. (refer to Figure 2).

       Frontage and access             The site’s road frontage is to Hilton Terrace which is a 20.1m. wide road.
                                       Existing pedestrian and vehicular access to both existing uses are from
                                       Hilton Terrace.

       Topography                      The highest part of the site as determined by a field survey is in the
                                       south-western corner which existing ground level is elevated to about
                                       1.8m. on Australian Height Datum (AHD). Existing ground levels over
                                       the site typically fall to 1.20m. on AHD in the north-western corner and
                                       1.32m. on AHD in the north eastern corner.

       Existing vegetation             The existing vegetation on the site is limited to grasses and the like with
                                       several insignificant trees along the site’s southern boundary.

       Existing waterways,             No waterways as identified under the Fisheries Act 1994 nor
       watercourse and                 watercourse as identified under the Water Act 2000 within the site.
       flooding within the             Council advises that the defined flood event for the site with a 1% AEP
       site                            under 2100 climate change conditions reaches a level on 2.4m. on AHD.

       Existing                        The site is connected to both reticulated water supply and sewerage
       infrastructure                  schemes. A two lane sealed roadway and associated kerbside parking
                                       opportunities are within Hilton Terrace fronting the site. Concrete
                                       pathways and coordinated landscaping exist in the footpaths within the
                                       adjoining Hilton Terrace. There is full width concrete footpath along the
                                       site’s frontage mostly likely due to the longstanding use of the site for a
                                       shop. Overhead electricity supply from Energex and associated street
                                       lighting extend along the footpath of the site. Underground
                                       telecommunications are also available to service the site.
