planning report 13.03

   •   Relocate internal north-south road from east of the rectangular fields to the west (running
       along the edge of the vegetation) (road corridor width to be 14m)
   •   Connect eastwards to current road north of the rugby league clubhouse
   •   Include new road connection north of tennis centre joining current western access road

The proposed new lights are not anticipated to increase the traffic impacts. Council’s short term
works to the road network improve access and through flow at the facility, as well as formalising
more parking on the site. There is ample overflow parking available on the 29ha site.

Noise Impacts

There are currently no planning restrictions on the use of the existing lights at the Rugby League,
Touch Football, Softball, Tennis and Netball facilities. Regular sporting training and matches occur
at the facility up until about 11pm during Rugby League matches and events

Additional noise impacts are unlikely to cause a nuisance compared to the existing use of the oval,
except for one off large spectacle events. These events will be separately permitted and require
conditions on liquor licensing, parking, crowd management and the like to manage noise for
infrequent events.

Safety Issues

The 4 x 20m high galvanised steel poles will be structurally mounted in accordance with relevant
structural engineering and building approvals. A maintenance ladder is located within the poles and
the galvanised steel will allow for increased safety of the structure (not likely to fall and only
authorised personnel to access the lights).

Structure Height

Although not meeting the Probable Solution seeking for an 8m height limit for structures within
Tewantin, the slimline poles are at a similar finished height to the surrounding 25 to 30m high existing
mature eucalypts surrounding the field. Furthermore, the 4 lights are located internally at the same
height as the existing 35 x ~20m high poles surrounding the fields. The lights will be finished in
galvanised steel and respect the height of existing vegetation, without impacting the skyline.
