Town Planning Assessment Report

Vehicular Access

Vehicular access to the cabins would be provided via three crossovers to Evans Road along the
northern boundary of the site. Cabins 1 and 2 would each have an individual driveway and crossover,
while cabins 3 and 4 would share a driveway and crossover. The driveways will be provided with an all
weather gravel surface consistent with the external roads surrounding the premises. There are
internal farm tracks that link between the main dwelling and the cabin sites.

Services

The cabins will each be provided with a water tank that has a minimum capacity of 10,000L and roof
water will be directed to the water tanks. Each cabin will be connected to reticulated electricity supply
and Telecommunications will be provided via satellite. Regarding effluent disposal, two advance
secondary systems would be installed to service the cabins in accordance with the Soil and Effluent
Disposal Report provided at Appendix E.

Please refer to the Proposal Plans at Appendix A further details in relation to the design and siting of
the buildings.
