8.      Engineering and Infrastructure Provision
8.1 Vehicle Access – Mill Street
Vehicle access is gained from Mill Street via access Easement B on SP305586, which burdens the adjacent
lot 0 SP305586. Utilising the easement which benefits Lot 1 (the site) enables the development egress via the
lower order Mill Street, understanding the Council’s preferred scenario is to avoid an additional access from
Gympie Terrace. The access proposed is in line with the terms of the easement (refer Easement Dealing
provided as part of Attachment B - Searches).
The adjacent Lot 0 on SP305586 has been included within the application as an additional premises as
required by the Planning Act.
Please refer to the Engineering Drawings prepared by DME Consulting Engineers which include detailed
driveway and parking area designs and longitudinal sections provided as Attachment E. All vehicle
manoeuvring is able to be accommodated safely and efficiently with vehicles able to enter and exit the site in
a forward direction, with a swept path assessment provided within the Engineering package.

8.2 Car Parking
Vehicle parking is provided for within the basement with a total of five (5) resident spaces at right angle parking
accessed via the driveway isle. All vehicles accessing the site are able to enter and exit in a forward direction,
with space for two (2) vehicles for visitors provided at ground level, ensuring visitors are not reliant on the
basement for parking.

8.3 Pedestrian Access
Each of the two dwellings retain direct frontage and pedestrian access to Gympie Terrace via a shared foyer
at ground level with pedestrian path and gate. Another rear pedestrian gate is provided for each unit giving
direct access to the Noosa River Esplanade and its pathway network.

8.4 Waste Collection
It is proposed to utilise Council’s on-street waste collection service with a bin storage for each unit located
within the basement bin store. Residents will transport their own bins to the kerbside for collection via Mill
Street. The bin store has been integrated into the basement to ensure easy access for residents and screening
from the street.

8.5 Services
Please refer to the Engineering Report and Drawings prepared by DME Projects provided as Attachment F.

        8.5.1 Sewerage
        An existing 150dia uPVC sewer reticulation main is located within an easement adjacent to the
        northern boundary of the site. It is expected that the proposed development will connect to the network
        using the existing property connection stub directly to an existing manhole near the north west corner
        of the site.
