                         82.       A Stormwater and Water Quality Management Plan for the site shall be prepared to the
                                   reasonable satisfaction of the Manager, Land Development and implemented by the owner.

                         83.       The Stormwater and Water Quality Management Plan shall take into account matters specified in
                                   section 19.4 of the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 1997.

                         84.       Key water quality objectives to be reflected in the Stormwater and Water Quality Management Plan
                                   are for the protection of aquatic ecosystems in the waterways, wetlands and wet heathlands of the
                                   site, areas adjoining the site, and the receiving waters of Noosa Inlet and the Noosa River. The low
                                   nutrient and pH environment of the wetlands and wet heathlands of the site and areas adjoining the
                                   site are the key factors in determining appropriate performance targets. Specifically, water quality
                                   objectives shall include the following performance targets, subject to the constraints of the
                                   catchments external to the site:
                                   -      Total nitrogen levels – 0.34 mg/l
                                   -      Total phosphorous levels – 0.035 mg/l
                                   -      pH – 4 to 5.

                         85.       The Stormwater and Water Quality Management Plan shall comply with and address, inter alia, the
                                   following issues in relation to the construction, establishment and operation phases of the
                                   development:

                                   85.1      All necessary stormwater treatment and water quality devices associated with the
                                             development shall be located within the approved boundaries of the RHD and RSD
                                             development precincts.

                                   85.2      During the construction phase, monthly water quality monitoring and monitoring after
                                             significant rainfall events (at least two per year) shall be undertaken for:

                                             ◊      suspended solids and turbidity,

                                             ◊      temperature,

                                             ◊      salinity,

                                             ◊      total nitrogen,

                                             ◊      total phosphorous,

                                             ◊      pH,

                                             ◊      trash and gross pollutants, and

                                             ◊      dissolved oxygen.

                                   85.3      During the establishment and operation phases, water quality monitoring shall be
                                             undertaken every third month and monitoring after significant rainfall events (at least two per
                                             year) shall be undertaken for:

                                             ◊      total nitrogen,

                                             ◊      total phosphorous,

                                             ◊      suspended solids and turbidity,
