RE:       Operational Works Supporting Letter – External Pedestrian Path
          Proposed Residential Development at Precinct E2, Noosa Springs, Noosa Heads

This letter has been prepared as supporting documentation for the external pedestrian path
operational works application at the above mentioned development.

The details of the external pedestrian path were provided with the full set of civil drawings
for initial operational works approval (Application No: OPW17/0612). Following Council’s
review of this operational works package, a request for information was issued on 24
February 2018 which included a request for additional design details of the external
pedestrian path. It was subsequently requested that the approval of the external pedestrian
path be removed from this operational works application in order to further assess the
design while the remaining aspects of application OPW17/0612 were assessed.

In order to assist with the review and approval of the external pedestrian path operational
works application, the design principles have been proved below based on the request for
information issued on 24 February 2018 and should be read in conjunction with the External
Footpath Plan (drawing 17155/C120):

         As per the requirements of the Council Planning and Environmental Committee
          Meeting Agenda 6 September 2016 Assessment Report, the footpath will be located
          along the western boundary of Precinct E2 at an offset of 0.5m and the southern
          boundary of Precinct E2 at an offset of 2.0m.
         Due to the steep nature of the existing topography along the southern boundary, the
          existing grade will be maintained whilst a 2.5% minimum crossfall will be provided to
          ensure the path is free draining. The paths do not include any steps, landings or
          handrails, however a fence will be provided on the boundary of Precinct E2.
         As the path is to be constructed on grade at natural surface there will be no bulk
          earthworks (cut/fill). Some minor excavation and trimming of surface will be
          required to provide the box for the path slab at 100mm below natural surface level.
         Scour protection will be provided along the southern footpath extent to ensure
          stormwater runoff will not scour the adjacent landscaping areas.
