Further Advice Response

Item 6

Provide additional detail on the proposed driveway and crossover. The detail must be
prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of
Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:

    a. a design generally in accordance with RS-049, RS-050 and any associated addendum;
    b. dimensions, levels and grade of the access driveway;
    c. a longitudinal section extending from the centre of the formation along The Esplanade
    to the finished floor level of the proposed garage; and
    d. demonstrate that a B99 vehicle will not scrape or bottom out while entering or exiting
    the driveway.

Response: Please refer to the response letter and amended Engineering Plans prepared by Westera
Partners. Dimensions, levels and grades are now shown on the amended Engineering Plans. The plans
indicated that the proposal incorporated a modified crossover to IPWEA STD DWG RS-049 and RS-050. A
longitudinal section is provided from the street to the finished floor level of the proposed garage, which
also confirms a B99 will not scrape/bottom out when ingressing or egressing.

Item 7

Provide additional detail demonstrating how trip hazards will be eliminated within the road
reserve due to the construction of the proposed driveway crossover. Please note that Council
is unlikely to support private retaining structures within the road reserve. The amended plan
must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ – Registered
Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:

    a. the full extent of the transition to the adjoining areas of verge.

Response: Please refer to the response letter and amended Engineering Plans prepared by Westera
Partners, which confirms the existing retaining wall and driveway will be removed as part of the proposed
alterations. New retaining walls will be located wholly within the site bounds, and the transition to the
adjoining areas of the verge will match the existing heights of the kerb profile.

Item 8

Provide an Earthworks Plan demonstrating the extent of the proposed earthworks required
to carry out the proposed works. The additional plan must be prepared by a suitably
qualified person (RPEQ – Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but
not be limited to:

    a. the extent and volume of cut and fill; and
    b. details of any proposed retaining walls. Noting that all retaining walls, both temporary
    and permanent, both above and below ground, must be located wholly within the subject
    site.

Response: Please refer to the response letter and amended Engineering Plans prepared by Westera
Partners, which confirms minimal change from the current to proposed development footprint. The
amended Engineering Plans show the details of proposed retaining walls, which will be wholly located
within the subject site. Area of cut and fill are indicated on the plans, with finer details to be confirmed at
the detailed design phase.
