Engineers Written Response

Response:
Swept paths for Articulated Vehicles (AV’s) accessing tenancy 2 have been shown on Bax
Engineering plans 228-001- 801 (C). These paths demonstrate access to the proposed
tenancy without conflicting with other infrastructure. Please note that the wheel paths are
shown as red and the body of the vehicle as blue. A blue broken line is also included that is a
300mm offset from the outside of the outer swept path.
       18. Provide additional comment from a suitably qualified person demonstrating
       how the carpark will function at maximum capacity when either/both tenancies are
       being serviced by an AV (19m) tractor trailer.
Response:
Swept paths for Articulated Vehicles (AV’s) have been shown on Bax Engineering plans 228-
001-800 and 801 (C). These paths demonstrate access to both tenancies and other possible
locations where an AV could stand wholly within the site. It would be considered an extremely
rare occasion that two AV’s would be servicing the property at once. Even if this were the
case, the property is located in a cul-de-sac where intolerable queues would be unlikely to
occur for any length of time. Nonetheless it is demonstrated that an AV could be in tenancy
1 whilst adjacent to the tenancy 2 access in the south east corner. The swept path plans
demonstrate ample space for two AV’s to pass safely. This space could also be utilised for cars
to access parks 8 to 20 should this situation ever occur.
       19. Provide additional comment indicating where the proposed loading and
       unloading zones are for each tenancy and the suitability of these locations.
Response:
The swept paths demonstrate that AV’s can access the property and be contained wholly
within the boundary while not creating issues of safety or unnecessary risk. Driver behavior
and loading locations will depend wholly on what is being loaded or unloaded.
       20. Provide an amended swept path layout plan that demonstrates a motorbike
       operator can enter the motorbike parking bay, while Carpark 1 is occupied, without
       failing. The amended plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person Registered
       Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
Response:
Swept paths for motorbikes do not exist. However, based on the width of a motorbike park
being 1.5m, a similar width has been provided for access between staff carpark 1 and the
front of tenancy 1. It is expected that a competent, licensed motorcyclist would be able to
manoeuvre through this corridor safely.
