Along the southern boundary with the Noosa National Park, a ‘fill’ wall of approximately 2.0m will be
required. These walls will most likely be of a concrete sleeper, or similar, construction. This would
continue the existing wall in-situ.

Along the northern boundary, ‘fill’ walls of approximately 1.5m height will be required. These walls
will most likely be of a concrete sleeper, or similar, construction.

At the eastern boundary with the Peregian Tavern, some shallow excavation will be required. Care
will need to be exercised during any excavation to ensure that there is no undermining of the existing
block retaining wall (up to 2.0m high). Terracing is proposed at the front of the existing wall to aid in
stability and mitigate the visual impact. Works in this area will be subject to geotechnical investigation
and advice.

All filling will be in accordance with AS3798-1996 (Level 1).

Refer Appendix B for Preliminary Bulk Earthworks Plan.

6.0     ROADWORKS
Access to the site will occur from Sandpiper Court, through the newly completed Peregian Market
access. An access easement will be established through this area.

The internal road network consists of an access road past the short-term residential accommodation
building and loop road to service the remainder of the dwellings, access the parking spaces for
individual units and other parking areas. The internal road, to the point of access to the carpark, will
be a minimum of 6m wide (typically 11.0m road reserve) with the remainder being 5.5m wide
(typically 11.5m road reserve). All roads are to be of a concrete, inverted crown construction.

It is proposed that the internal roads would cater for a heavy rigid vehicle (HRV) and a rear lift refuse
collection vehicle (RCV) to service the short-term residential accommodation building. Widenings at
horizontal curvature are included to facilitate the larger vehicle movements. Vehicle manoeuvring
paths are presented in the Traffic Impact Assessment by PTT.

Car parking will be provided in accordance with the Noosa Planning Scheme (2006) and is detailed
in the Traffic Impact Assessment by PTT.

7.0     STORMWATER DRAINAGE
The site generally slopes from the David Low Way to the Noosa National Park. The stormwater
discharge point from the site is the Council Reserve to the west. This land is under council control
and the stormwater discharge will not cause an actionable nuisance therefore, as per QUDM (2013),
this is considered a lawful point of discharge.

The stormwater quality effects of the development will be reviewed in a separate Stormwater
Management Plan (SMP). The treatment of stormwater will be carried out in accordance with state
and local authority requirements.

Road and surface runoff will generally be directed to treatment areas via the concrete inverted crown
road. Roof runoff will be directed to treatment areas via a shallow pipe network.
