Dear Leanne,

RE: NOOSA CIVIC - REQUEST FOR CONTRIBUTION TO COSTS. OF PUMP
STATION UPGRADE

I refer to your letters of 13 March 2007 and 22 February 2007 and advise that Council
has considered its position and is not prepared to reimburse Stockwells for the:cost of
works on the new pump station.

The position has been determined on the basis that:-

1. MCU conditions which state that the applicant must upgrade the existing sewer
pump station to Noosa Shire Council Standards and requirements.

2. Operational Works Decision Notice which details approved drawings and extent
of works to be undertaken by the Applicant and its Agents and Contractors.

3. Stockwell letter of 16 May 2006 which clearly states that they do not seek any
monetary contributions from Council in relation to this upgrade.

4. In respect to the upgrading of the existing pump station, Council’s requirements
as stipulated in Noosa Shire Council’s Planning Scheme Policy 6 - Engineering
Design Standards, Water Supply and Sewerage, clearly show that the existing
pump station would require upgrading to the same extent due to additional
loadings from the Noosa Civic site irregardless of any further additional flows
from the adjacent Tetrex site i.e. Clause 5.3.3.4 states that “where loading exceeds
800 Equivalent Tenements (ET) a single pump well with a minimum diameter of
3.2m shall be provided. The pump well shall be divided by an internal diaphragm
wall which effectively isolates the two wells and allows pump isolation”.

In this regard it is noted that Council has already modified its requirements by allowing
existing pump well to be utilised, rather than requiring a completely new system to be
constructed, which has by the Applicant’s own Consultants figures, saved considerable
expense being incurred by the Applicant.
