Application Cover Letter - Operational Works - 85 Gympie Street, Tewantin

In order to facilitate a lawful point of stormwater discharge, the development proposes to pipe
stormwater through adjacent Lots 48 and 49 on RP28717, connecting to the existing stormwater
main located within Lot 48 on RP28717. In support of this arrangement an Operational Works
Stormwater Plan has been prepared by Lindsay Consulting (Attachment 1), which demonstrates
the proposed arrangement. As per the Stormwater Plan (Attachment 1), the development
includes a 2,000Lt detention tank to ensure that the development does not result in an increase
in stormwater flows discharging to Council’s Stormwater Infrastructure.

Marc Lewis, with the landholder of Lots 48 and 49 on RP28717 seeking that a maximum 1.5m
wide inter allotment drainage easement is provided.


Under Planning Scheme Policy 6 ‘Engineering Design Standards’, ‘Section ‘SC6.7.5 – Specific
Design and Construction Requirements, Element (m) – Allotment Drainage’, detail is provided in
