ELECTRICAL & TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES

With the existing construction of the Noosa Springs development, all service
conduits and cables have been constructed up to the site boundary. Both
electrical and telecommunications cabling has been provided along the full
length of Links Drive. Electrical conduits are also currently installed adjacent to
the road access from the Links Drive roundabout. These services currently
provide power and telecommunications to the maintenance sheds and power

supply to the existing irrigation pumps located to the West of the proposed site.

The new electrical and telecommunications networks will connect to these

existing supplies and then reticulate through the proposed development.

GEOTECHNICAL

Geotechnical investigations have been completed by Golder Associates Pty Ltd.
The recommendations included within this report has identified the possibility of

acid sulphate soils existing within the earthworks area to be disturbed.

As a result it is identified that an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) must
be provided to manage and monitor the construction and operation of the

project.

The report has also provided comments in relation to the proposed earthworks,
preloading requirements, batter slopes, pavement design, drainage and site
management and erosion control. Each of these comments will be taken into

account during the detailed design phase.
