Attention: Development Assessment
Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Pre-Request for Minor Change to Approved Material Change of Use
(Resource – Based Spring Water Bottling Plant)
314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy
Lot 2 on SP143409
Council's ref: 2006/268
I refer to the above site and the Planning and Environment Court (hereafter “Court”) Judgment
(No 4884 of 2014) dated 23 January 2015 for the abovementioned development. In accordance
with Section 80(3) of the Planning Act 2016 (PA), please find enclosed a pre-response request
for Council to facilitate a request to the Court for a Minor Change to the Development Permit
Material Change of Use to slightly modify the current operations of the site. A copy of the Court
Judgement is included as Attachment I. This request is made on behalf of the owner of the
subject premises, Noosa Beverages Pty Ltd.
Please find enclosed the following in support of this request for a Pre-Request Response:
• A Pre-Request to Response Application form, duly completed;
• A cheque made payable to the Noosa Council for the $1,904.00, being the
relevant fee.
BACKGROUND
The subject site was originally approved through the Planning and Environment Court under
the original judgement ref: 318 of 2008. This approval was previously modified in 2015, with
the current Judgement ref: 4884 of 2014 being the most recent valid approval over the site This
request seeks support of a change to the conditions of approval on the basis that the operations
of the premises is slightly different to that which was originally sought and approved, with the
operations now including the supply of bulk water and bottling services for 3rd party companies.
The proposed changes will be discussed in detail below.

Minor Change under Section 78
The proposed changes to the original Development Permit and associated conditions, comply with the
definition of a "minor change" as defined by PA. Section 80(3) permits an affected entity to consider a change
to an approval where the change is a "minor change" and provide a pre-request response notice. The definition
of "minor change" is as follows:
Minor Change means a change that –
b) For a development approval –
(i) Would not result in substantially different development; and
(ii) If a development application for the development, including the change, were
made when the change application is made would not cause –
(A) The inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
(B) Referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there
were no referral agencies for the development application; or
(C) Referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
(D) A referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to,
matters prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matter
the referral agency must have assessed the application against, or have
had regard to, when the application was made; or
(E) Public notification if public notification was not required for the
development application.
In relation to the above definition, we make the following comments:
• The proposed changes would not result in a substantially different development;
• The proposed changes would not require any additional referrals to SARA;
• The original application was Impact Assessable, yet the nature of the proposed changes would
not, in our opinion, cause a person to make a properly made submission objecting to the
proposed changes given that the proposed changes are within the scale of the original approved
decision ref: 318 of 2008.
• The proposed changes do not involve prohibited development.
For these reasons outlined above, it is considered that the proposed changes constitute a Minor Change to the
approved development and as such, we respectfully request a response from Council regarding the following
proposed amendments.
AMENDMENT 1
The owner of the site is looking to slightly modify the current freight arrangements for the business operating on
the site. In order to meet the requirements of a supplier, additional B double vehicles are proposed to access the
premises. Currently the number of vehicles is restricted by condition 5C as per the judgement ref: 4884 of 2014.
Please refer to below.
5C. Trucks attending the site must not exceed a total of 8 trucks per day and must not include B-Doubles.
The current owner wishes to alter this condition to allow up to 14 trucks per day and for them to include B-
Doubles. We are of the opinion that this additional demand should be supported by Council as it is not
substantially different to what was originally approved as per judgement ref: 318 of 2008. The original judgement
included the conditions as shown below.
Page 3
Vehicle and Truck Movements
5B. Prior to the Council completing the staged upgrade works to Cooroy Mountain Road, weekly Trucks
shall be limited as follows:
a) 40 water carrying trucks (namely all semi-trailers, tankers and other trucks carrying water but
excluding B-doubles) per week
b) 20 ancillary trucks (namely non-articulated trucks and non-water carrying trucks).
5C. After the Council has completed the staged upgrade works to Cooroy Mountain Road, weekly trucks
shall be limited as follows:
a) 50 water carrying trucks (namely all semi-trailers, tankers and other trucks carrying water but
excluding B-doubles) per week
b) 25 ancillary trucks (namely non-articulated trucks and non-water carrying trucks
These conditions allowed for a total of 60 trucks to access the site over the course of a week prior to the upgrade
of Cooroy Mount Road and 75 trucks once the upgrade is completed. The proposed change will result in a total
of 70 trucks accessing the site between Monday to Friday, which is within the originally approved threshold of
75 trucks.
It is also advised that the B-Double trucks proposed to access the site will be 20 metres in length and not a full-
sized B-Double, which can range up to 26m in length or more depending on their configuration. This size truck
when compared to a semi-trailer which can range up to 19m in length, is not considered substantially different
and will not result in impacts to the surrounding area.
We trust the information provides you with sufficient information in relation to the proposal and we look forward
to receiving a positive response from Council at your earliest convenience.
Should you have any further questions in relation to this matter, please feel free to contact me direct.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Cameron,
RE: Cooroy Mountain Spring Water
Access Arrangements and Trip Generation
Lot 2 SP 143409 at 314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy
I refer to our meeting with Council offices held on Monday 18th November 2013 and
further traffic engineering advice regarding the number of trucks generated from the
site and the access arrangements into the site.
The conditions of approval require a change due to ownership changes and changes
to the operational management of the business. The proposed bottling plant will be
scaled back and therefore changes to conditions, 5B, 5C, 5F, 5G, 8 , 12 and 13 are
required as the specific numbers of staff and trucks has been reduced. From a traffic
engineering perspective a review of the existing access has been undertaken in order
to recommend an amendment to Condition 8 of the approval.
Condition 8
The applicant shall relocate the existing site to a location between 80 and 110
metres east of the existing access on Cooroy Mountain Road, to the
reasonable satisfaction of Council.
Proposed Development
The proposed development includes a bottling plant with between 3 to 5 staff
permanently on site.

The estimated trip generation from the site is expected to generate up to 40 truck
movements per week, including refuse collection, deliveries and water carrying
vehicles. This equates to 8 trucks per day or 16 trips (8 arrivals and 8 departures)
spread throughout the daily hours of operations 7:00am until 6:00pm, Monday to
Friday. It is also estimated the site will generate 10 to 15 light vehicle movements
per day including staff and ancillary business uses.
Assessment of Existing Access
The sight visibility has been reviewed in accordance with Clause 3.4 of Austroads
2009 Guide to Road Design - Part4A: Intersections. Sight distance is measured along
the carriageway from the approaching vehicle to the conflict point.
The posted speed limit on this section of road is 60km/h. The safe intersection
sight distance (SISD) for an observation time of 3 seconds and reaction time of 2.0
seconds (Refer to Table 3.2 of Part 4) for 60km/h is 123m. The access intersection
meets this requirement to the west and achieves a sight distance of 130m. The site
distance to the east was measured to be 113m; however the additional 10m can be
achieved through the removal of vegetation within the road reserve as shown in red
in the photographs below. The vegetation is overgrown saplings only ranging in
trunk diameter of 50 to 150mm.

Photograph 2 - View looking west from Access
The access driveway location has been reviewed with consideration to the number
of vehicles accessing the site. The existing driveway has been operating adequately
for many years. The proposal meets the requirement for access driveway location in
accordance with Clause 3.2.3 and Figure 3.1 of AS2890.1:2004. Given the good sight
visibility, low traffic volumes and the existing local driver awareness of this access, it
is considered appropriate to retain the driveway in its current location.
The driveway has been assessed in regard to operational performance. According to
Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 3 - Traffic Studies and Analysis, Table
6.1, "At unsignalised intersections with minor roads where there are relatively low
volumes of cross and turning traffic, capacity considerations are usually not
significant and capacity analysis is unnecessary". Table 2 below shows the volumes
where intersections operate adequately and capacity analysis is not required.
Roadway Capacity
Type of Road Light cross & turning volumes
Maximum design hour volumes
Vehicles per hour (two way)
Two Lane major road 400 500 650
Cross road 250 200 100
The traffic volumes for Cooroy Mountain Road are 500 vehicles per day with less
than 100 vehicles in the peak hour past the subject site.
RoadPro Development ABN 98 615 073 565
13492 Cooroy Mtn Spring Water Access Page 3 of 4
Page 21
The peak hour generation from the site is less than 20 trips per hour. Traffic volumes are low and below the volumes stated in the table therefore, it is considered unnecessary to undertake intersection analysis as the intersection operates with uninterrupted flow conditions. Therefore given the above assessment it is recommended that Condition 8 be amended to allow the applicant to use the existing driveway to access the site.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
Future-Plus Environmental (FPE) have been engaged by Cooroy Mountain Spring Water to
cany out a Site & Soil Investigation for on-site sewage treatment/disposal. The report has
been completed in response to the conditions stated in the Maroochydore Planning and
Environment Court Order dated 2nd August 2010 REF. The investigation was undertaken to
establish the design of an appropriate on-site sewage treatment facility and land application
area to service the existing developments on land described as Lot 2 on SP143409 and located
at 314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy Mountain. A site locality plan is as shown in Figure 1
below.
Specifically this Report addresses the items detailed in Attachment A, Conditions 18A-B of
the Maroochydore Planning and Environment Court Order dated 2nd August 2010 and
Concept Effluent Treatment & Disposal Strategy Report Completed by Gilbert & Sutherland
dated November 2009.

It is understood that the owner proposes to upgrade the existing septic tank and trench system
to an aerated sewerage treatment plant (STP) and effluent disposal area, to service the existing
dwelling and daytime factory staff facilities as shown in the attached Site Layout Plan (refer
Figure 2). As part of the upgrade of the on-site sewerage facilities, FPE was engaged to carry
out an assessment of the on-site sewage treatment and potential disposal areas. This site and
soil evaluation report presents the on-site sewage treatment and effluent disposal area
required to cater for the existing development. The assessments and recommendations
contained within this report are based on our site assessment, information provided by the
Client and the recent geotechnical investigation carried out by Australian Soils Investigation
(ASI).

2.0 SITE ASSESSMENT
2.1 GENERAL
The assessment and recommendations contained in this report have been based on the recent
geotechnical investigations carried out and our recent site assessment of the existing sewage
infrastructure on-site.
2.2 PROPERTY DETAILS
The subject site is contained within registered allotment described as Lots 2 SP143409 and is
located at 314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy Mountain within the Sunshine Coast Regional
Council local government area. The area of the allotment is approximately 481,700m2.
2.3 EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
The site consists of an existing five (5) bedroom dwelling and the Cooroy Mountain Spring
Water bottling factory, which is utilised by five (5) daytime staff only. The site also contains
a series of free standing sheds.
2.4 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The owner proposes to direct all wastewater generated by the existing dwelling and factory
office facilities to a centralised STP and effluent disposal area.
2.5 TOPOGRAPHY
The subject allotment is situated over a varying topography with a slope of 5-20% from east
to west, towards the existing creek located in the western portion of the property. The
Sunshine Coast Regional Council online mapping facilities illustrate a site elevation between
110 to 280m AHD.
2.6 SITE HYDROLOGY
It is likely that the majority of rainfall on the site will be absorbed into the soil. However,
during extended periods of heavy rainfall, excess rainfall not adsorbed into the soil profile is
likely to flow towards the watercourse located in the western portion of the property, running
parallel with Cooroy Mountain Road.
2.7 SUB-SURFACE CONDITIONS
A preliminary geotechnical investigation for effluent disposal assessment including
percolation testing was recently carried out within the locations indicated on the Borehole
February 2014 Site & Soil Evaluation Report 4

Location Plan (Figure 2). A total of two (2) boreholes were advanced across the site to a
depth of 2.0metres below the existing ground level (refer Appendix A).
Based on the geotechnical investigation, it is noted that the soil profile encountered within the
site generally consisted of 700mm of moderately structured Silty Clay (Category 4-5)
overlying strongly structured Silty Clay (Category 6) to termination depth at 2.0m.
2.8 SOIL PERMEABILITY
In addition to the soil borehole logs, one (1) permeability test was undertaken within one of
the two boreholes and in accordance with the AS/NZS 1547:2000 to determine the actual
permeability of the site soils. The recorded KSAT value was 0.0213m/day which indicates
that the site soils are subject to very low permeability.
2.8.1 Groundwater & Water Bores
During the site investigations, no permanent water table or seepage was encountered within
the boreholes. However, groundwater table represents local groundwater accumulations that
typically fluctuate between seasons. Therefore groundwater separation distances based on the
local water table depths needs to be considered during the design of on-site sewage systems.

3.0 EFFLUENT QUALITY AND QUANTITY
3.1 ASSESSMENT OF SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
The soil and percolation test results indicate that the soils at the site are relatively
impermeable but is however still suitable for on-site sewage treatment and effluent disposal.
Groundwater or seepage was not observed within the boreholes carried out during the recent
site investigation.
Given the relatively poor permeability of the site soils and the presence of medium to heavy
clay soils which are more representative of Category 6 soils, the on-site wastewater
assessment for this site is based on Category 6 soils although the Borehole logs indicate the
presence of Categoiy 5 top soils.
3.2 SYSTEM SELECTION
In order to minimise potential impacts on local water quality and to maximise the potential
reuse of treated effluent, it is recommended that all wastewater generated from the
development be treated to a minimum secondary standard. It is understood that all wastewater
generated from the dwelling and factory office facilities will be diverted to the existing septic
tank located geographically downslope of the waste generating facilities. It is proposed that
the existing septic tank will be converted to a pump station, with all collected wastewater to
be pumped to a SIP capable of treating the wastewater to a minimum secondary standard.
Typical quality criteria for secondary and advanced secondary treated effluent nominated in
the Department of Infrastructure and Planning, Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code
are summarised in the following table:

3.3 HYDRAULIC LOADING
The hydraulic loading for this site was calculated based on the anticipated population
intensities within the factory office facilities and the five (5) bedrooms contained with the
existing dwelling, as provided by the Client (refer Table 2 below).
Table 2; Proposed Population Intensities for the subject site
Source Proposed Population
5 persons per day (during standard
Factory Office Facility
daytime operating hours)
Five (5) Bedroom Dwelling 8 persons
The hydraulic loading associated with the proposed development intensity mentioned above
can be calculated using Appendix 4.2D of AS/NZS 1547:2000 based on a typical wastewater
flow allowances generated from rural factories and domestic dwelling. For rural factories this
typically ranges from 30L/P/day for on-site roof tank water supply to 50L/P/day for
reticulated community water or bore water supply as per AS/NZS 1547:2000. The typical
wastewater flow allowances for a domestic dwelling with bore water supply and standard
water reduction fixtures is typically 145L/P/day as per AS/NZS 1547:2000. The estimated
hydraulic loading associated with the development intensity has been calculated in the table
below:

Allowance based on Bore
Source Estimated Populations Flows (L/day)
Water Supply
Factory Office Facility 5 50* 250
Five (5) Bedroom Dwelling 8 145 1,160
Total Estimated Daily Flows 1,410
Based on the above, a total maximum hydraulic loading of 1,410 litres (8 Equivalent Persons
- EP) per day may be generated from the combined use of the facilities on-site.
Based on the estimated daily flow of 1,410 litres (8 EP) per day, the site does not trigger an
application for an Environmental Relevant Activity 63(l)(a)(i) identified as;

Operating sewage treatment works, other than no-release works, with
a total daily peak design capacity of 21 to 100 EP if treated effluent is
discharged to an infiltration trench or irrigation scheme.
If additional people are using the site and/or water conservation is not being practiced within
the building and additional flow is being generated, enlargement of the STP and irrigation
area may be required. This will be additional cost to the owner.
3.4 TREATMENT SYSTEM
Treatment of wastewater must achieve a minimum of secondary or advanced secondary
effluent quality in accordance with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code 2011.
Treated Wastewater shall comply with the following quality criteria specified in Table 1.1 of
the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code, which are as follows:
bod5 < 20mg/L
. SS < 30mg/L
Thermotolerant Coliform (org/lOOmL) < 200
3.5 ADDITIONAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A number of other design considerations should be made in relation to the following key
elements associated with this project.
Peak Flows and Low Flows
The wastewater treatment plant must be able to cope with periods of sustained high or peak
loads and also periods of very low influent. During these times, appropriate flow balancing
may be necessary in order to buffer against such extreme variable conditions.
Effluent Quality & Concentration
Developments with mixed uses produce (Factory Office Facility) a different type of
wastewater when compared to traditional domestic effluent. Typically, this effluent can be
more concentrated and require specific design considerations.

Wastewater Treatment and Effluent Disposal
314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy Mountain
Page 35
4377-131119-1.0
Alarms and Early Warning Systems
It is recommended that a high level and failure alarms with battery backup be considered as
part of the overall design for the pump station and STP.
Service and Maintenance
The service and maintenance provide must attend and complete the required service,
maintenance and monitoring of the STP on a minimum 3 monthly basis.
Grease Trap
The existing grease trap is to be inspected by a suitable qualified person to ensure the
integrity of the unit, as it is recommended that pre-treatment of the effluent be undertaken,
given the nature of the wastewater likely to be generated by the development. The grease trap
should then be adopted as part of the operation and maintenance of the facility and require
regular inspection, service and maintenance.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 EFFLUENT DISPOSAL
It is recommended that the application of effluent on-site via surface irrigation be adopted.
Contained in Figure 3 of this report is the proposed location of the effluent application areas
and the irrigation system design detail.
Assuming a hydraulic loading of 1,410 litres per day and a DIR of 15mm/week based on
2 •
Table 4,2 A4 of AS 1547:2000 (Category 6 soils), a minimum application area of 658m is
required.

Category by Table
4.2A4 of AS 1547
Lot 2 SP143409 Soil Category 6 546m2 5-10%
Based on the Table above and presence of Category 4-5 soils to 700mm, an effluent irrigation
area of 625m2 is required for the site. A typical design detail of the irrigation system is shown
in Figure 4.
It is noted that the site has sufficient space available for a 100% reserve area and is shown in
Figure 4.
The application area shall be installed in accordance with the following:
1) All plumbing and drainage work is to be carried out by licensed persons and strictly in
accordance with the AS/NZ 3500:2003, AS/NZS 1547:2000 and Plumbing and Drainage
Act 2002;
2) Lilac stripe poly pipe is to be buried a minimum of 150mm below ground level from the
treatment plant to the irrigation area;
3) Sprinklers are to be used to irrigate the treated effluent within the designated area after
150mm of mulch or turf has been applied;

4) Any depressions within the surface application area are to be filled with soils of same
category at horizon A.
5) Effluent warning signs must be clearly displayed in at least two places beside all
application areas.
The required setback distances as nominated in the Queensland Piumbing and Wastewater
Code 2011 have been summarised in Table 5 of this report.
4.2 MEDLI ASSESSMENT
Based on the resent investigation under by Future-Plus Environmental, in accordance with the
relevant legislation and guidelines, it was deemed unnecessary to undertake a MEDLI
assessment for the site. Rather the detailed site assessment has been undertaken in
accordance with the QLD Plumbing and Wastewater Code and AS:NZS 1547:2000.
4.3 SETBACK DISTANCES
The setback distances from the effluent disposal area shall comply with the Queensland
Plumbing and Wastewater Code which is summarised below:
Table 5: Recommended Setback Distances for Secondary and Advanced Secondary Effluent
Feature Recommended Separation Distance
Footings or Buildings Boundaries of land application areas should be positioned at least
2.0m down slope or 4.0m up slope from the footing or where the site

Note: Surface spray irrigation system must be located at least 10m from any habitable area
4.4 STORMWATER DRAINAGE
Issues relating to surface flows may become prevalent within the disposal areas during
extended periods of rainfall. Accordingly, it is recommended that a cut-off drain or diversion
drain/mound is constructed upslope of the disposal areas to collect and divert any
surface/subsurface waters away from the disposal area. A retention mound is to be
constmcted downslope of the land application area to prevent any surface water from exiting
the designated disposal area.
All stormwater runoff from the roof of buildings and pavement areas associated with the
development on the site should not be discharged in a concentrated form onto the effluent
disposal areas.

5.0 CONCLUSION
This report presents recommendations on the sizing of an effluent disposal system (surface
inigation) to cater for the combined use of the existing development and the population
intensities associated with this.
The assessments and recommendations are based on our site assessment and the geotechnical
investigation carried out.
On the basis of the geotechnical investigations and assessment of the flow rates, the subject
allotment is considered suitable for on-site sewage operations within the site. An effluent
irrigation area of approximately 500m2 will be required to adequately dispose the treated
wastewater generated from the development intensity.
Provided the on-site sewerage facility is installed in accordance with the recommendations
provided and relevant codes and standards aforementioned in this report, there will be
minimal risk of environmental impact to the site and surrounding areas. The on-site STP and
effluent disposal area will need to be managed intensively to minimise potential human health
risks and thereby protect and enhance the quality of human health and the environment in the
long term. The system must be operated and maintained in compliance with the
manufacturer's guidelines (information should be sought from the treatment system
manufacturer), to ensure this risk is appropriately managed.
All wastewater should be treated to a minimum secondary or advanced secondary level to
reduce any potential environmental impacts.
Details of the wastewater treatment plant and land application system are summarised below;

Aboriginal Cuitural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or
obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: "A person who
carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the
activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage". It is an offence to fail to comply with the
duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations
breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources
Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an
activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage
value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3238 3838 to discuss
