 Noosa Shire Planning Scheme
 Part 9 Development codes
 9.4 Works codes
 9.4.9.8 Water Quality and Drainage Code

     Application
     (1)    This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Water Quality and Drainage
            code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
     (2)    All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development

     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)    The purpose of the Water Quality and Drainage code is to ensure development is planned, designed, constructed and
            operated to manage wastewater, stormwater, groundwater and environmental flows and as part of an integrated water cycle
            in ways that protect environmental values, water quality and public health.
     (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Water quality and drainage code are:
            (a)   Waterways, wetlands, drainage lines, receiving environments and other ecologically important areas are protected and
                  enhanced by managing the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff from development in accordance with best
                  practice;
            (b)   Stormwater drainage systems are designed and constructed to effectively manage or convey stormwater in a way that
                  protects people, property and the natural environment;
            (c)   Stormwater infrastructure and treatment systems are compatible with existing infrastructure and are designed and
                  constructed to be cost effective across their design life;
            (d)   Stormwater design and management incorporates consideration of climate change impacts to ensure the intended
                  function and capacity of the stormwater infrastructure and treatment systems are maintained over time;
            (e)   Stormwater infrastructure provides an appropriate level of flood immunity for roads based on desired standards of
                  service identified for different flood hazard areas;
            (f)   Stormwater treatment systems are visually integrated into all development designs in a manner that incorporates
                  natural features and habitats, as well as education opportunities to raise awareness of the connection of the
                  development to its receiving waters;
            (g)   Stormwater treatment systems are multi­functional providing for stormwater conveyance, protection of ecologically
                  important areas, passive recreation and erosion and sediment control;
            (h)   Hydrologic regimes are maintained to pre­development conditions to maintain waterway stability, protect ecology and
                  groundwater dependent ecosystems, maintain suitable fish passage, and mitigate flood risk to people and property;
                  and
            (i)   Development is designed, constructed and operated to facilitate erosion and drainage control and avoid release of
                  prescribed water contaminants into receiving waters.
