MCU16.0099.01, RAL19.0036 & OPW 19.0282.01 - Response to Information Request (final) 10.03.2020 · MCU16/0099.01

10     Demonstrate that the proposed gates in the common boundary of Lot 46 and Lot 47 can
       be fully opened and closed while a vehicle is parked either in the area in front of the
       compound access gates and/ or in the vehicle turnaround area without conflict with the
       vehicle. The gates should be able to be closed while a vehicle is standing within the
       parking and turnaround area in front of the compound to prevent escape of children, pets
       or livestock.
After further investigation, it was found that the existing 5 m wide access gate on the shared boundary
of the subject site and access lot was of insufficient size to allow for the safe access of construction
vehicles accessing the approved facility. To combat this issue, nbn is now proposing to replace this
gate with a 10 m wide double access gate (2 x 5 m gates) that will open into the access lot. The
proposed 10 m wide double access gate will be able to be fully opened and closed while a vehicle is
parked on either the access lot or subject site. Further details are provided on drawing ‘4GYM-51-36-
C0000-C3’ (C3 drawing) of the amended proposal plans (refer Appendix A).

11     Provide further information that explains the purpose and construction method of the
       proposed track which leaves the existing driveway access in lot 47, heading south to the
       common boundary of Lot 46 where it heads west to the existing fence and connects
       north to the existing vehicle track on the central fence alignment.
The existing track illustrations located on the subject site and presented on drawing ‘4GYM-51-36-
C0000-C2’ (C2 drawing) (refer Appendix A), are not to be referenced as the proposed construction or
maintenance access to the approved site. This track was simply included on the C2 drawing to note its
existence on the subject site. The proposed access track located on the access lot is outlined on the
C2 drawing as being the single access passage to the approved facility.
To avoid further confusion, a note has been added to the updated proposal plans (refer Appendix A)
indicating that the track located on the subject site will not be used by nbn for any reason.


nbn requests that Council considers the limited environmental impacts and expected benefits of the
amended access and power supply in assessing this change application.
We consider that the information above provides an adequate response to all of the information
requested. Please contact me on (07) 3173 8353, or alternatively by e-mail
[email protected] if you require further information.
Yours sincerely
