Background
With increasing interest in tree change vacationing, this project involved the development of eight short stay cabins within a hidden pocket of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
The project involved feasibility planning and conceptual design of necessary wastewater treatment and disposal systems, servicing the new cabins, all while located within a sensitive drinking water catchment area.
The project was able to be effectively managed to meet the thresholds for local government approval, saving the project time and resources.
Scope
Tectonic completed a detailed site and soil assessment, including subsurface investigation and laboratory analysis to identify site specific opportunities and constraints to onsite wastewater management.
A feasibility report was prepared featuring a conceptual wastewater design and layout, which was able to demonstrate how the project could effectively manage onsite wastewater, whilst posing a low risk to the environment and drinking water resources.
