2.2      Land Application Area Details
The cabins will be located near natural watercourses, and as such require a pump station to pump
sewage from the buildings to the on-site sewage facility. The proposed facility (treatment plant & land
application area) will be located to the south of the cabins in the grassed paddock.

Table 2 outlines the details of this area.
