1         INTRODUCTION
Calibre Consulting (QLD) Pty Ltd has been commissioned by Palm Lake Resort to prepare a Stormwater Management
Plan (SWMP) to support the Operational Works Application for Stage 2 and subsequent stages of the Palm Lakes
Retirement Community. The development is located on 2 & 4 Lamonts Road and 19 & 20 Trading Post Road Cooroy,
within the Noosa Shire Council (NSC) Local Government Area. This Operational Works submission follows the MCU
Development Approval (MCU 15/0111 & REC15/0031) for the site.

This project has an extensive history, involving an interim reduced site layout (excludes property on 20 Trading Post
Road/Lot 4 on RP215922), numerous submissions to and correspondence with Council to achieve approval of the
stormwater management strategy. The following outlines the key submissions and milestones achieved. Further
references to past documentation are provided in Section 1.2.

   MCU Development Approval for Reduced Site Layout - Calibre Consulting previously provided a Concept
    Stormwater Management Report (No. B07056.W-02A dated June 2008) for the MCU application and Concept
    Stormwater Quality Management Plan Report (No. B14158.W-01A dated December 2014) for the Change to an
    Existing Approval application. The stormwater management strategy (involving two Bioretention Basins, a
    Constructed Wetland and Water Quality Control Pond with integrated detention storage) outlined in these reports
    were subsequently approved by Council.

   Operational Works – Bulk Earthworks Decision Notice Approval for Reduced Site Layout - Following various letter
    submissions of stormwater construction management and maintenance details (refer to Section 1.2 below), Council
    issued an Operational Works - Bulk Earthworks Decision Notice Approval (dated 15 October 2015) for the Palm
    Lakes development. In the process of gaining approvals, a framework for the SMCMP Report (incorporating design
    checklists, construction and operation maintenance) was developed with Council and approved. This was
    documented in Letter Report (No. B14158.W.07L dated 8 October 2015).

   Operational Works – Internal Stormwater and Drainage Works Approval for Stage 1A of the Reduced Site Layout –
    Calibre Consulting provided Stormwater Management Plan Report No. B14158.W-05B dated December 2015 and
    Stormwater Management Construction & Maintenance Plan (SMCMP) Report No. B14158.W-06A dated November
    2015 was issued to Council. Following various requests for information and responses from Calibre Consulting
    regarding stormwater management (refer to Section 1.2 for references for this documentation), Council granted
    approval for Internal Stormwater and Drainage Works in Stage 1A.

   MCU Development Approval for Overall Site Layout – During the above processes for gaining approvals for the
    reduced site layout, a MCU Development Application (MCU 15/0111 & REC15/0031) was submitted for the overall
    site layout (including the property on 20 Trading Post Road/Lot 4 on RP215922). A revised stormwater management
    strategy (involving three major Bioretention Basins, one small Bioretention Pod, a Central Water Quality Control
    Pond with central and northern integrated detention systems) was developed based on the previous approved
    strategy for the reduced site layout. This was documented in the Concept Stormwater Management Plan Report (No.
    B14158.W-03A dated November 2015). Following various requests for information (RFI’s) and responses from
    Calibre Consulting, Council granted MCU & REC approvals in Decision Notice (dated 22 July 2016) with conditions
    of approval.

This report has been provided to support the Operational Works Approval for Stage 2 and subsequent stages of the
overall site layout by demonstrating compliance with the approved Concept SWMP (No. B14158.W-03A dated November
2015) and by addressing Council’s Decision Notice approval conditions. The following documents have also been
provided to Council together with this submission and should be read in conjunction with this report:

   Response to Stormwater Management Approval Conditions Letter (No. 16-001014.01L.ms.cm.docx dated 12
    September 2016) – provides a summary of responses to Council’s Approval Conditions regarding stormwater
    management.
