3.         ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
3.1        Electrical Supply
           There is existing low voltage Energex electrical reticulation entering the sites
           from Elm Street and Ghost Gum Road.

           Our understanding is that all of the lots are to be amalgamated and therefore
           only one electrical supply will be provided to the new lot by Energex.

           A low voltage supply will be adequate for Stage 1. It is anticipated that this
           will originate from Elm St via Rose Gum Rd and enter the site near the Central
           Services building and will be located adjacent the carpark at the main entry.

           At the present time there is very little Energex infrastructure on Ghost Gum
           Rd. Energex have both high voltage and low voltage power run via overhead
           lines on Elm Street.

           When future stages are constructed, a padmount transformer will be required
           to be installed on site.

           A planned approach would be prudent with a proposed transformer location
           selected and prepared as part of early stages. An area of 5m x 4.8m for the
           future transformer is required clear of all other services.

           The actual cost of this substation and the associated HV cabling infrastructure
           is uncertain because Energex pricing policy is under review and the exact
           details of the required works will be dependent on a number of issues
           including timing, location of proposed transformer and final number of
           dwellings proposed.

           It is likely that Energex will charge the full cost of this infrastructure. At this
           point of time it would be prudent to allow $150,000 as a lump sum for this
           work.

           The Energex conduit/cable route and the eventual substation site will require
           easements to be created over the transformer site and the HV cable route.

           Refer Appendix 1 for Energex HV and LV infrastructure plans and Appendix 2
           for Proposed Infrastructure Plans.


3.2        Issues to consider with respect to the power infrastructure
           We envisage no risks to be catered for.

           Registered easements will need to be created over the transformer site and
           the HV cable route.

           Buildings will not be able to be constructed over the cable route.
