9         ROADWORKS
The development site will utilise the existing concrete driveway servicing the existing commercial
development. The basement carparking will have an adequately sized driveway to ensure traffic is
managed within the development site.

As part of the development a portion of the existing internal concrete driveway will be cut back to
provide separation between the proposed car park and through lanes of the driveway.

A footpath connection will be provided to the shop fronts of the development, to allow
continuation of pedestrian access through the Emporium showrooms.

The proposed internal on-grade car parking and loading / services area layouts are depicted on the
architectural plans prepared by Buchan Group attached in Appendix 1.

All service bays and car parks will be constructed in accordance with the relevant Noosa Shire
Council and Australian Standards.


10        EARTHWORKS
A preliminary levels plan showing the proposed site levels for the basement car park landscape
areas is depicted on MPN Plan 8662-BE.1.01 attached in Appendix 3.

All earthworks will be contained within the boundary of the site and not impact on the covenant
area.

The design and construction of earthworks and basement shoring will be in accordance with the
recommendations of a geotechnical report along with AS 3798 – Guidelines on Earthworks for
Commercial and Residential Developments.

Any excavated material not suitable for fill will be removed from the site and disposed of
appropriately in an approved landfill.

As the development will involve excavation of subsoil below RL 5.0m, the development is subject to
the State Planning Policy July 2017 requirements for acid sulfate soils and an acid sulfate soil
Investigation and creation of the management plan will be undertaken as part of the detail design
phase. All requirements of the management plan will be implement during works, as all excavated
soils will be subject to the requirements of the management plan.


11        ELECTRICITY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The proposed development will be serviced for electricity and telecommunications services from
the existing underground services in Hofmann Drive. The electrical and telecommunications
services will be extended into the site to provide the required level of service. All works will be
undertaken in accordance with the relevant authority’s requirements.

The existing Energex, Telstra and NBN infrastructure in the vicinity of the site is shown on the
Energex, Telstra and NBN DBYD Plans attached in Appendix 4.
