6         CONCLUSION
This Civil Engineering is to support the permissible change application for a retirement community development located
on Trading Post Road Cooroy. This report provides preliminary plans for earthworks, roadworks, turning paths, water and
sewer reticulations and erosion and sediment control.

The following codes and probable solutions primarily relate to matters which would ordinarily be addressed as part of the
detailed design phase for operational works approval. However the matters have been reviewed as part of the preliminary
design considerations during the master planning for the site to ensure that all relevant measures can be satisfied in
accordance with good engineering practices and the design standards otherwise expressed within the codes.
