5.0 EARTHWORKS
There will be earthworks required to facilitate construction of stormwater treatment facilities, sanitary
drainage and allow for an aesthetically pleasing and functional built form. There is little opportunity
for fill material to be won on site therefore most of the fill material will need to be imported.

The interface with the western boundary to the Council reserve will require approximately 2.0m of fill
to be placed. It is proposed that a rock filled gabion wall is constructed along this boundary to retain
the fill material. The proposed retaining structure would be subject to Geotechnical investigation and
advice to determine an appropriate design. The photograph below (Figure 6), illustrates the ‘swampy’
nature of the lower area of the site in the vicinity of the proposed gabion wall.




                                   Figure 6 - Low Lying Area of Site

Along the southern boundary with the Noosa National Park, a ‘fill’ wall of approximately 2.0m will be
required. These walls will most likely be of a concrete sleeper, or similar, construction. This would
continue the existing wall in-situ.

Along the northern boundary, ‘fill’ walls of approximately 1.5m height will be required. These walls
will most likely be of a concrete sleeper, or similar, construction.

At the eastern boundary with the Peregian Tavern, some shallow excavation will be required. Care
will need to be exercised during any excavation to ensure that there is no undermining of the existing
block retaining wall (up to 2.0m high). Terracing is proposed at the front of the existing wall to aid in
stability and mitigate the visual impact. Works in this area will be subject to geotechnical investigation
and advice.
