Revised Civil Engineering Response Cover Letter

RESPONSE
Please refer to the attached drawings which demonstrate the underground services
adjacent to the subject site driveway and the recently constructed neighbouring driveway.
Drawings are coordinated between disciplines for the response to this IR.



ISSUES 16, 17 & 18
Council has a number of concerns with the proposed heavy vehicle bay and the heavy
vehicle path through the site:
   • The architectural plans indicate a “semitrailer bay” while the engineering plans
        indicate a vehicle manoeuvring path for a Heavy Rigid Vehicle (HRV)
   • The proposed semitrailer bay appears to block access to areas of proposed Unit
        11
   • The heavy vehicle swept path plans does not indicate the required vehicle
        accessing the proposed service bay and appears to conflict with landscaping
        areas and extends under the roof line at a number of locations

Information Required:
16. Provide amended architectural and engineering plans that indicate the parking and
manoeuvring for a semi-trailer sufficient to demonstrate compliance with The Noosa Plan,
Driveways and Parking Code, PO6 (AO6.1) and PO7
17. Provide additional detail on how the access to the adjacent unit is not significantly
impacted by a heavy vehicle parked in the service bay
18. Provide amended plans of the heavy vehicle manoeuvring path that demonstrates
that the path is clear of landscaping areas and in those locations where it extends under
the roof line, provide sufficient detail to demonstrate that vertical height clearances are
available



RESPONSE
Item 16. Please refer to the attached drawings (2123 R10 & R11) for vehicle swept paths.
Additionally, swept paths for larger Articulated Vehicles have been run on the incidental
chance that a different AV enters the site. This study was done due to the proximity of the
subject site to the Bruce Highway. The outcomes of this have been communicated to the
developer and explained that any vehicles larger than the design vehicles will require one
reversing manoeuvre (typically into site) and there is ample roof in the Taylor Court road
pavement to achieve this.

Item 17. The on-site semi-trailer service bay is positioned clear of the entry points to Unit
11 and adjacent to the outdoor space allocated to Unit 12. Refer architectural plans for
details

Item 18. Please see attached update drawing 2123/R10 (Rev C) which shows the HRV
path through the subject site without impacting on buildings and landscape spaces. The
building roofs are typically at 6-7m high as per the architectural drawings so there is no
clash between the HRV and roof overhangs / awnings on site.
