pressure. Further detail is provided in Attachment 4. Since then, the applicant has worked
with QFES and Unitywater to develop a compliant solution. A number of alternative locations
for the fire equipment were assessed; however, due to the physical constraints of the site, no
other location was identified that could satisfy both operational requirements and compliance
obligations. The proposed location is therefore considered the only practical and appropriate
solution.

This application seeks approval for the works required to implement that solution, which are
outlined below. As the proposed works are located within the common property of the Rise
Apartments, body corporate consent has been obtained and lodged with the application.

DETAILS OF PROPOSED WORKS
Full details of the proposed works are provided in the Proposal Plans in Attachment 1 and the
Hydraulic Plans in Attachment 2. An extract from the proposal plans is provided below.




Figure 1 – Extract from proposed plan (Attachment 1)

The proposed works comprise:

    •   relocation of the existing fire hydrant and booster cabinet from the northern to the
        southern side of the basement driveway
    •   redesign of the existing planter and introduction of a wall trellis
    •   construction of a new fire pump enclosure on the southern side of the driveway
    •   installation of above-ground pipework to minimise excavation and protect existing
        trees.

Perspectives of the proposed outcome are provided in Attachment 1 and reproduced below.

Given the proximity of the works to the existing Weeping Fig trees, the application is supported
by an Arborist Report prepared by Consult Arborist and included as Attachment 3.

The Arborist Report supports retention of the existing Weeping Fig trees and confirms that the
proposed works can proceed without adverse long-term impacts, subject to tree protection
measures including arborist supervision, hydro-vac excavation, root pruning where required,
ground protection and site-specific Tree Protection Zone management.
